A recent TikTok post by user @enghenglim6 has gone viral after a heavy vehicle driver, known as Eng Heng, captured a tense and alarming moment on a Malaysian highway at night.
In the video, Eng Heng can be heard shouting and repeatedly honking at a lorry in front of him, which was swaying dangerously from side to side. According to Eng Heng, the lorry driver appeared drowsy and was unable to keep the vehicle steady, raising serious concerns about the safety of other road users.
What made the situation even more frightening was that the lorry came close to crashing into other vehicles and, at one point, nearly hit the road divider on the left side. Eng Heng claimed he had followed the vehicle for 15 kilometers in hopes that the driver would pull over, but despite numerous honks from several motorists, the lorry continued on.
"I've honked at that lorry many times, but it won't stop. It's on the highway heading toward Rompin. The guy is sleepy. Look, everyone's honking, but he's still in the middle of the road and won't stop!" he reported during a call to the police, urging immediate action.
Many social media users praised Eng Heng for his concern and efforts to protect other road users by alerting the authorities. In the comments section, netizens expressed their outrage over the lorry driver's decision to keep driving while seemingly unfit to do so.
Others called for stricter enforcement and regulations to prevent drowsy driving, especially among heavy vehicle operators.
The incident has since sparked conversations online about road safety and the importance of being vigilant behind the wheel, especially when operating large vehicles that can cause serious harm.
