Shocking Traffic Stunt: Woman Body-Blocks Cars at JB Checkpoint!

SINGAPORE: In an unbelievable incident that has captivated online audiences, a woman was filmed body-blocking vehicles at the Johor Bahru (JB) checkpoint on the busy evening of October 31. This act seemingly mirrors a previous viral event where another individual gained notoriety for performing a similar stunt during a traffic jam on the Second Link earlier in September.

Social media user Dannis Chua shared the jaw-dropping video, showcasing the woman standing defiantly with her back to a car, arms crossed in a bold power pose. Her mission? To allow two Singapore-registered vans to cut into the congested traffic as they approached the busy checkpoint.

Despite the obvious frustration from the vehicle behind her—complete with a cacophony of honks—the woman remained unfazed, even gesturing for the white vans to proceed. This daring move has drawn mixed reactions from viewers, with many deeming her actions outrageous, while others found comedic value in the absurdity of the situation.

One commenter humorously suggested that future travelers might consider bringing along a “human body blocker” like this woman on their trips to ease their paths through traffic. It encapsulates a prevalent sentiment on social media: the lengths some individuals will go to in order to dodge the frustration of gridlock.

Local authorities, including Malaysian police, have confirmed that the woman did, in fact, intervene in traffic to allow the vans to merge—this took place around 9:00 PM on one of Malaysia's public holidays, meaning heavy traffic was inevitable.

While the video's broader implications prompted discussions on roadway etiquette, particularly regarding lane changes and the use of signals, the company that owns the vans clarified that the woman was not affiliated with either vehicle involved in the incident.

As commuters continue to navigate the challenges of busy border crossings, this episode serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of road behavior—and the quirky stories that emerge from traffic jams. Will we see more stunts like this in the future? Stay tuned!
