Recently, LCGC drivers have been doing things on the road. Recently, an LCGC Toyota Calya driver was reckless in going the opposite direction and was attacked by a mob on Jalan Gunung Sahari, Jakarta.
The incident occurred on Wednesday (25/2026) yesterday afternoon. The black Calya car was seen going in the opposite direction, even on a busy road. The car hit a number of motorbikes and tried to avoid the crowd of people who were attacking.
A number of residents chased the car by breaking the car windows. However, the car continued to drive forward and backward to escape until it hit a police car. Some time later the car was surrounded and stopped by residents.

Previously there were also many incidents of LCGC drivers going in the opposite direction. Some get angry because they are reprimanded, even resulting in violence.
This action against the direction is a question for many people, why do LCGC drivers often act out on the road? According to driving safety practitioner who is also the Director of Training Safety Defensive Consultant Indonesia (SDCI), Sony Susmana, perhaps those LCGC users who are acting up are new users of four-wheeled vehicles. Unfortunately, bad habits when using a motorbike are carried over when driving a car.
“With the rise in LCGC use of ojol (RED-online taxis), lots of newbie drivers have emerged. Most of them grew up as motorbike riders. Do you know what motorbikes run like here? If they encounter an obstacle, many people have to dodge, brake, but this ends up sliding to the left or right. Even though it’s dangerous, the motorbike is small, it’s still excused. But if you switch to a car, it’s dangerous,” said Sony to detikOto.
According to Sony, whoever the driver is and whatever the type of vehicle, don’t take driving lightly. Even novice drivers have to change their behavior.
“First, develop ethics in driving. Second, understand traffic rules. Third, never stop learning,” he said.
Sony advises LCGC drivers or novice drivers not to act carelessly on the road. There are ethics that must be known and implemented. Including when maneuvering, turning or changing lanes.
“Change lanes, check the rearview mirror, turn on the turn signal and move if it’s empty. Second, if you’re confused about stopping on the shoulder of the road, turn on the hazards and check the application. Third, adjust your speed to traffic rules,” he concluded.
