I've encountered my shared of such pranks in the wee hours over several years as I work night shift. I will usually on hazard light, get out of my car to shift the obstacles away. There was once along woodlands area a dustbin was placed right smack in the middle of a road. damn knn one. I urge all drivers to keep a lookout for such "jackass" pranks made by impressionable teens and promptly remove them for safety of other drivers. Look around the area too, they may be watching.

But what if there is nailed planks, concrete blocks, 5gallon water pail in each of the caton boxes?

If a daring driver were to chiong thru....surely the damage will be serious!

 

 

Maybe there was four gambler who lost money till need to wear cardboard box. They managed to get into a taxi or car and threw away the boxes on the road?

If you see such obstacles when driving in malaysia, what will you do?

 

It may not be just pranksters but robbers or hijackers

This is still a popular method to rob motorist who alight from their car to remore the obstacle(s). Never get out of the car to do so. Do not panic. Use the car body/wheels to push the obstacle(s) aside if suitable. Otherwise reverse a distance and do a U-turn.

Can be in any country. A big long branch/tree truck more commonly laid across the road as barricade/blockadge to waylaid motorists. When the unwitting motorist just alight from his car to remove it. The robbers appear as soon as the driver reached the barricade (driver may not return to car fast enough for escape). I b elieve most car can be driven over tree truck about 100mm diameter (lamppost size), but the undercarriage can get stuck if the obstruction is bigger than that and becomes sitting duck.
