A 38-second video was shared through ‘ANA TAHU’ Facebook account which claimed that the vehicle with registration number “P45” belonged to a deputy minister.
The video showed the black car with heavily tinted windows overtaking the vehicles in front of it, ignoring the double lines on the road and an incoming lorry from the opposite direction.
The incident also happened when the lane of the dual-carriageway road was congested.
