The runaway car ended up hitting another vehicle, creating an avoidable scene of chaos.
The mishap, captured on a dashcam, was shared on the MALAYSIA MOST VIRAL X page, where it quickly gained attention. The post criticised the driver’s carelessness, stating, “This is what happens when laziness takes over—parking recklessly, skipping the handbrake, and leaving the door wide open, causing trouble for others.”
The video showed the man stopping next to a street vendor before walking away from his car with the door left ajar. Moments later, the vehicle began rolling backwards into traffic. Despite his desperate attempt to stop it, the open door struck a passing car, leaving the man visibly frustrated.
This incident serves as a reminder for all drivers to take proper safety measures when parking their vehicles. A few seconds of caution can prevent accidents and ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
