A traffic controller’s baton-waving that can trigger a pile-up is at the center of controversy. The shocking moment was spotlighted on JTBC’s program 'Han Moon-chul’s Black Box Review.' The clip was uploaded to the YouTube channel JTBC Enter on March 21, 2026.
In the video, the controller is seen stopping cars with their right hand while waving an LED baton toward children. The mixed hand signals confused drivers and ultimately led to a crash.
The video also exposed a bigger problem: drivers who fail to slow down even after spotting a traffic controller. Most comments stressed the common-sense rule to reduce speed immediately. Some even argued the dashcam driver should surrender their license.
Attorney Han Moon-chul emphasized that such accidents can occur due to a controller’s negligence, comparing it with past cases and pointing out a lack of communication between drivers and controllers. He also underscored the need for better training to prevent repeat incidents.
