Viral: Pink Electric Car Cuts Off Official Convoy, Sparks Mixed Reactions
A viral video circulating on social media shows a pink electric car obstructing a vehicle being escorted by police patrol motorcycles (patwal) on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman in Central Jakarta. The footage has sparked a flood of varied reactions from netizens.
In the video, several vehicles can be seen moving to the left side of the road as patwal motorcycles clear a path for a black Toyota Alphard bearing ZZR plates, believed to be part of an official convoy. However, the pink electric car continued driving and entered the convoy’s lane, positioning itself directly in front of the escorted vehicle.
Observing the situation, the patwal motorcycle slowed down. The black escorted car then attempted to overtake the pink electric car. Shortly afterwards, the patwal motorcycle moved in front of the pink car and reduced speed, eventually forcing the pink electric car to exit the convoy’s lane.
The caption accompanying the video read, ‘The moment a pink Geely EX2 suddenly cut off and blocked a convoy of vehicles with ZZR plates being escorted by a police patrol (patwal) on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Jakarta.’
The full chronology and the exact reason why the pink electric car remained in the convoy’s path are not yet known. However, the video shared by the Instagram account @infojakarta.co.id on Sunday, 19 July 2026, has garnered thousands of comments from social media users.
Many netizens expressed agreement with the pink car driver’s actions. Several urged others to follow the driver’s example. One commenter wrote, ‘Great! Keep it up for a better Indonesia,’ while another questioned the necessity of the escort, saying, ‘What’s the urgency of using an escort? Just do your job.’ Another sarcastically remarked, ‘Wow, I salute you, keep it up. What’s with all these escorts? If you want to be fast, you should leave earlier, you need time management. You want everything to be facilitated, you already have a car, an escort, now you even want time to be facilitated, lol.’
