Ride-hailing driver distracted by app rams MCO roadblock in Penang

GEORGE TOWN: Police officers manning the roadblock on the second day of the movement control order (MCO) escaped unhurt after an e-hailing car rammed into their checkpoint at Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway.

George Town OCPD Asst Comm Soffian Santong said seven policemen, including a police sergeant, were on duty in the 8.10am incident on Thursday (March 19) when the car driven by a 46-year-old man rammed the roadblock.

Asst Comm Soffian said the man was driving from Butterworth towards Bayan Lepas to pick up his passenger.

"When he arrived at Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, he was checking the Grab driver app on his mobile phone and wasn't aware there was a roadblock," he said in a statement.

Grab will tell you go claim your own insurance je

Penang lagi orang penang ni bodoh bodoh ka semua

Yes.  But if want to sue them, are they liable? 

While the drivers, delivery people are not under their employment, they do use their platform.......

How to sue? Regardless of what kind of accident it falls under driver's careless

I am no lawyer but if you get into an accident with a vehicle that belongs to a company, you can sue the company too.

under 'You can get the driver’s boss to pay up'

Question is whether can sue other companies such as Grab.  They don't own the vehicle but the drivers are out and about providing a service using their platform.

but drivers are not considered employee of Grab they are considered as independent contractor aka their own boss
