LETTER | The recent viral video of a Myvi car ramming into a van in Puchong shows many individuals are still dicing with death. That incident is only the tip of the iceberg as I still witness drivers who drive at breakneck speeds on our public roads and highways without any fear of danger.

I would like to send out a strong message to those drivers who still drive recklessly and speed on public roads and highways to put an end to your selfish behaviour. Have a heart and value the fragility of life as we all only have one.

Please stop your irresponsible and dangerous acts. Pause and reflect for a moment on the outcome. It is clear-cut that driving aggressively only puts your own life and others at risk. There is no need to see unnecessary bloodshed or god forbid, loss of lives.

The Puchong incident happened on a road surrounding a residential area. One can only imagine in horror if there were pedestrians on the side of the road, who could have also been innocent victims of the speeding driver.

The nation is still at war with the Covid-19 pandemic and there are new deaths reported every day from the virus. We do not need to see, read, or hear of more shocking news reports regarding the unnecessary loss of lives resulting from dangerous and reckless driving.

Please practise safe and defensive driving. Be a safe and responsible driver. It is not difficult at all. It only takes maturity and thinking of a safe journey and a safe return.
