Some people just never learn

After my post on the horror Ferrari crash at Rochor Road less than a month ago, there was a second driver who hit the red light and caught on camera. This makes me sad and angry, what are these selfish bastards thinking? Unfortunately, this bugger did not die on the spot, so I hope that he will be slapped with a severe punishment for his deed. 

Singapore not suitable for drivers like Michael Schumacher

Potholes: Pimples on the Road

Driving on Malaysian roads is a daily challenge. Somehow most of the roads have cracks and potholes all over and motorist have to choose either to accept the premature demise of their vehicle's suspensions or to drive with extra care. And with extra care, the flow of the traffic will definitely be disrupted. Some gungho drivers with skills like Vin Diesel would choose to swerve and veer to avoid those chuckholes, it's like playing TV games. And god knows how many motorists (especially motorbikers) have lost their lifes due to this road defect.

I don't know if anyone realise this, the road surfacing work done by prestige housing developers tend to last longer than JKR's. This is a serious issue because the quality of work by the government body or its contractors is really disappointing. And I notice that the way they patch the potholes are superficial as they merely fill up the hole with fresh tar without reinforcing the gravel base. So potholes at the same spot will always appear after a few months. And this is one of the tactics the government plays on us whenever the general election is approaching. Road surface will be freshly treated to demonstrate the will of the ruling party to improve our lifestyle, but deep down inside we know it's a big fat lie.

We do not want well-tarred roads for a few months only once in every 4-5 years! We do pay our road tax annually and so our vehicles deserve much better road condition all year long, like those in Singapore and Australia. And seriously, Malaysian government should strive to provide this basic infrastructure to all Malaysians and revise their SOP of road construction and maintenance.

Enough lamenting. Let's roll over to http://mypotholes.com/ to see how the humorous and creative ang moh uses the potholes to produce art. 

The Way We Park

It's all about the driver

I remembered some character in a street-racing action movie once said, "It's not about the machine, it's all about the driver."

And I totally agree with that.

More than ever, I encountered drivers manoeuvring their kancil like ferocious lambo on the road. I think this is just another verson of mat rempit. You know, some people just have an ego larger than their pockets, balls outgrowing their brains. 

Now, if a vunerable vehicle can cruise around like it is the mother of all roads, it's no wonder the trucks or express buses are driven like battle tanks on the highway these days. 

Slow down please, when approaching a slope

We are funnelled sometimes on Malaysian road

I don't understand why we have this stupid road system where multiple lanes will eventually converge into one lane. And knowing how disorderly we Malaysian drivers drive on the road, those impatient will curse, those lawless will cut queue, those reckless will collide, those in a hurry will cry.

Near to Exit yet still want to Overtake

Overtaking Addicts

No matter you're on the left or right lane on Malaysian expressway, there will always be some douchebags cutting in and out like nobody's business.

These days, everyone will be hogging the fast lane on the right, while vehicles can actually go faster on the left lane. So people start to overtake via the left lane. Isn't this funny?

And frequently, when I am already cruising at almost 120km/hour on the fast lane, somehow it is still not fast enough as some pseudo-F1 driver will be flashing his headlights at me while he rapidly close up behind my car. Walao, everytime I felt like jamming the brakes instantaneously. And if I survive the crash, I will definitely knock some sense into the fellas brain with my baseball bat steering wheel lock. I really regretted for not joining the Yakuza or Hung Mun triads, else I will be able to teach these buggers some lessons.

You maniacs out there are really lucky my Dad send me to school for proper education instead. Hmmph.

Extra lanes.

Sometimes Most of the time in Malaysia, a dual-lane road will become more than two lanes. No?

Impatient and reckless driver

It's a gated guarded community. I slowed down as I approached my house, signalled to indicate a right turn as I opened my autogate.

My autogate opening.

I prepared to turn right, a car tried to overtake and honk at me. Startled, I slammed the brakes.

Now, what should you do when you see a car in front of you slow down and signal to turn right? Should you overtake?
