Malaysians Should Drive Better

Finally,time to write again. This time,i shall not write something too serious:)

Malaysians are kind people. They always help each other out, they quarrel on dinner table deciding whom should pay, they always offer their seats to someone else first,nice people:) but how can such nice kind hearted people turn so EVIL on the road??

In Malaysia, driving to the closest 7-eleven can be more dangerous than running around in Africa's safari. Cars cutting here and there, double parkings, you name it! its like, we are the kings of breaking the road rules! How many people actually stop the when the traffic light turns red? common excuses are "it just turned red! its fine!" or " nvm,no police what..?"

Well,breaking the rules of the road is one..what about road bullies? I am sure everyone has encountered the difficulty of cutting lanes since many don't quite like giving way for others to cut into their lane. Then, you can ALWAYS see some Ah Beng with his blue honda "cucuk" you from the back with his HD lights that he prolly purchased from "AH Lok Carshop and Accessory" (they have the dumbest names anyway). Yeah,you can flash,and speed off,but how far do you plan to go? In the end,you gotta slow down in front of the next car anyway...show offs are EVERYWHERE!

Kg.Pandan Roundabout is the PERFECT place to prove that drivers do not give way to one another..i've just passed thru there a few hours ago... its like an intense battle, even for ME! People were grazing each other's bumper, that shows how close they are! i mean, LITERALLY, they were rubbing bumpers! ( 6 cars did) i wanted to catch a video of it,but my camera phone is a horrible one:( Friends, if you aren't so good in driving, stay away from the Kg.Pandan Roundabout during peak hours:P

Traffic Jams...lets talk about that! Why do they happen? First and most popular reason, accidents. On certain occasions, the accidents do indeed take place in the middle of the road. But on many occasions, it has already been cleared to the side of the road. why is it still jammed up!? hell, sumtimes the OPPOSITE side of the road is jammed up! we all know the answer...what is it..say it loudly,i cant hear you.........EXACTLY!! it is all bi lin's fault!!!
er no,i mean onlookers. onlookers fault! ( why is bi lin involved in this?) why do people need to be soooo JAKUN to go and watch accidents and causing a 5km traffic jam!? ( all of a sudden, i realize the connection to bi lin:P!) people can be soooooooo JAKUN at times..i remember one guy,he turned his head all the way to the back and continued watching the accident. Dude, you should just stop by the side of the road and take pictures. Reasons from onlookers : " can buy number,who knows kena then can be rich!? " and " i already stuck in the jam so long anyway, spending another 5 seconds to look won't hurt anyone"

Speaking of accidents, why do they happen so often? No matter how slow and well you drive, someone is bound to BANG you. ( If you haven't been banged yet, trust me, it will happen soon:P). Why do people drive so badly actually? Are all drivers like that? Some people improve well and fast, some, are just not meant for driving. I have a friend whom everytime he sees someone driving like an idiot, he would say " that must be a women" and when we check the car out, he is right! 99% of the time, there are women!! ( the other 1% is a sissy guy )

Women are so dangerous on the road. Well, on second thought, they are dangerous everywhere. I was once in this girl's car, she gave me a lift back home..her eyes are fixed to the front screen ONLY!! she doesn't notices anything in her side mirror or any other mirrors! she only drove me for less than 1 km, and she nearly bang into a car, twice. Women, are just too dangerous on the road! the Govermont should make them all go through 100 hours of driving practice before giving them a license! instead, we let them do 10 hours on the road, and even teach them " faster,the light is red, go faster~!" I personally was hit by an auntie. My car was not moving, waiting to turn into the right lane. The auntie tried to squeeze into my left, she failed and she hit one quarter of my bumper together with my left rear lights. wow..check out the misjudgment. If it was a slight graze, excusable. But this is a whole quarter of my bumper length! How did she even try to squeeze thru? after banging, she gave all her particulars and asked me to claim insurance. THAT,was my mistake!

Friends, claiming insurance isn't really an easy job. For the clearance alone, the company will take at least 2 weeks to clear. Fortunately, they can now do knock to knock claim, so ur workshop can start repairs on your car, but our police takes 10 days to come up with an investigation report ( wow,must be one hard investigation...prolly CSI level). So,until the investigation report comes out, insurance will not be cleared. Even after it is cleared, the insurance company will still come to you looking for your IC number, insurance policy,bla bla..its so annoying! so, the next time someone Bangs you, ask for money straight away,if they cant give it, PUNCH em:P
