Bab ‘info-traffic’ again today, tun-tun dan pun-pun. Tell me if I am stating the obvious; that we drive between the road lines, not on them! Hai meh? And yet so many don’t seem to think that it is obvious. Of course the lines are there to guide you in terms of space you have on your side. So, when you have enough space on YOUR side, why do you have to makan jalan and be on MY side?
Get over, you hog!
Worse, some people punyalah sayang kereta cik konon…sanggup risk the collision with the oncoming traffic semata-mata to elak some potholes! Adaka? And to be behind a motorbike is oh so ‘harmful to the morals and status’, so they have to pass/overtake regardless of safety. Slow down? What’s that?
Pastu perasan they are F1 champions. When the road curves like the middle part of E12 (Ampang Elevated Expressway) near the Jelatek exit, they have to use two lanes because they just don’t know how to control the vehicle at 80km/h. Slow down? Eh mana boleh! It’s so embarrassing to slow down! No way. Nobody has died before at that curve for hogging both lanes. So, it has to be safe to do so.
I am not saying all but ni lah dia mentality many Malaysian drivers. Well, Malaysian road system shares the blame also. But how do we educate our people about road safety? Where do we begin? And when do we draw the line between safety and stupidity?
