A seven-seater displaying mainland and Hong Kong registration plates was reported to have driven against traffic near Shek O at about 3.18pm on August 16, narrowly avoiding a collision with an oncoming vehicle. The vehicle did not stop after the incident and continued travelling against traffic, according to the report.
The footage showed the driver recording the incident travelling along Tai Au Road towards Shek O. Near Shek O Country Club, the driver encountered the seven-seater approaching on the wrong side of the road, according to the report. The supplied account does not resolve whether the exact location was on Shek O Road or the route from Tai Au Road towards Shek O.
The recording driver then swerved to avoid an almost head-on collision. The seven-seater continued forward without stopping, the report said.
Some online users criticised the seven-seater driver, saying the driver appeared to believe they were entirely in the right and made no attempt to give way. Those comments were reactions from members of the public, not findings from an official investigation.
The supplied report did not establish whether anyone was injured or whether any property was damaged. It also did not state whether police had received a report, opened an investigation or taken enforcement action, and did not identify the driver.
