A cam car’s footage showing an incident on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) on 23 January 2022 at approximately 1157 hours has emerged on social media.

After the BMW has successfully sped and filtered all the way to the first lane in front of the cam car, the cam car then says that the BMW slowed down on purpose even though the traffic in front was clear.
Cam car was ‘road hogging’
