JOHOR BARU: A petty road spat between two Singapore-registered Honda drivers escalated into a full-blown shoving match at the land checkpoint here on May 31.

A one-minute-17-second clip of the road rage incident, which also showed both men kicking each other's vehicles, is believed to have been captured by another motorist's dashcam and later posted on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page.

The incident, which occurred at 2.30am, involved a white Honda Vezel and a black Honda Fit, both Singapore-registered, in near-standstill traffic at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complexes at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI).

In the video, the Vezel driver, clad in a white T-shirt and shorts, is seen stepping out of his vehicle to confront the Fit driver, who was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts.

As the latter opened his door, the man in white kicked it, sparking a brief but aggressive shoving match.

A woman from the Vezel and two men from the Fit rushed to defuse the situation, but not before more door-kicking and finger-jabbing played out, all in the middle of slow-moving traffic.

The altercation further irritated motorists already stuck in the early-morning jam.

The clip ends there, but netizens were quick to weigh in. Some condemned the display of machismo, pointing out that traffic at the checkpoint was bad enough without "two Honda drivers playing Street Fighter".

Others advised motorists to "leave the drama on Netflix, not in JB".

One commenter quipped that the saga probably ended with both men hugging it out at a nearby petrol station, after realising Malaysia's fuel prices were too good to fight over.

Meanwhile, Johor Baru South police chief, Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat, said that, as of press time, no police reports had been lodged by either party.
