driving license teenager

For many of us, there's a special excitement that comes with getting something new&mdash;whether it's a phone, computer, sports gear, or for some, a new car.
When you first get a car, it&rsquo;s important to handle it gently to allow the engine to properly break in. This usually means avoiding high speeds, shifting gears at low RPMs, and steering clear of short trips that don&rsquo;t give the engine enough time to warm up.
Unfortunately, for one Malaysian, that initial excitement quickly turned into distress when his brand-new vehicle was involved in a crash just moments after leaving the showroom.
Crash Caught On Dashcam

A recent dashcam video has gone viral on Facebook, showing a high-speed collision at the Gombak toll plaza on the KL-Karak Highway. The footage captures an SUV being rear-ended by a speeding black Mercedes-Benz sedan. The incident occurred shortly after the SUV owner had just collected the vehicle from the showroom, making the crash even more unfortunate.
As the SUV slowed down while approaching the toll gate, the sedan, travelling at high speed, crashed into the back of the SUV, leaving it severely damaged and immobilized on the road. According to China Press, the SUV sustained such extensive damage that it may be written off entirely as a total loss.

Teenager Behind the Wheel

Reports reveal that the driver of the Mercedes-Benz sedan involved in the crash is only 19 years old. This revelation has sparked concerns about road safety, especially considering the driver's apparent inexperience. Dashcam footage shows the sedan speeding towards the toll area with no signs of slowing down, suggesting a lack of judgment or control which in the end had caused him crash and cause severe damage to his vehicle, the toll booth and unfortunately also crushing the rear end of the Chery SUV.
Netizens Reaction Towards The Accident
Following the viral video, many netizens reacted swiftly, expressing outrage over the teenager&rsquo;s behaviour after the crash. Witnesses reported that the young driver appeared indifferent, allegedly preoccupied with his mobile phone rather than addressing the situation. This apparent disregard for the severity of the accident has intensified calls for stricter consequences.
Netizens have also questioned how a 19-year-old came to be behind the wheel of a luxury vehicle, with some offering legal advice to the SUV owner, encouraging them to file a claim and take legal action. The incident has reignited concerns about the safety of RFID toll systems and their role in high-speed collisions at toll gates.
Criticism has also focused on the broader issue of young, inexperienced drivers having access to powerful cars, highlighting potential shortcomings in the licensing system and its ability to adequately prepare new drivers for the responsibilities of the road.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

As of now, it&rsquo;s unclear whether the SUV owner plans to take legal action against the teenage driver, but it's easy to imagine the frustration of seeing a brand-new vehicle reduced to a total loss. Given the speed at which the teenager was driving, it seems he may have treated the KL-Karak highway like a personal racetrack&mdash;a common issue on this stretch, particularly with drivers speeding to and from Genting Highlands.
Perhaps it's time for more safety measures to be implemented to slow down vehicles as they approach toll gates. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Looks like it's time to send this teen back to driving school—or better yet, keep him off the roads entirely.
