driving in malaysia

from my 5 years on the road, it would be only fair if I warn that driving in msia is a one-of-a-kind thing that you would not experience elsewhere. our drivers will make seasoned F1 drivers look like kids if they were be put on the same track together. Mind you that over here, pedestrians look out for cars and not the other way around. and if you're careless enough to get knock down or run over, dont expect for immediate help. The driver would probanly have fled before you could get up.

Expect to see :

(in town)

1) cars moving in and out of lanes. undecided bastards / bitches really.
2) motorcyclists on your left, right, front, back. And on those days, u'll probably see one on the ground after colliding with the traffic light.
3) cars (and sometimes motorcycles) double / triple park on the main road , diverting from a 3 lane to a 2 lane.
4) vehicles signaling one way and goes the other.
5) vehicles beating the light even though they're 10 seconds late.
6) holes everywhere on the road. Cars with fragile bodies and tyres are advised not to drive around often.
7) vehicles cutting queue at junctions and traffics lights. (malaysians have no patience.)

(on the highway)

1) cars overtaking on every lane. (there is no slow/fast lane). drivers are advised to pay attention to the rear mirror every 10 seconds.
2) cars overtaking on the emergency lane (this is really wtf).
3) vehicles crawling on the fast lane (this includes motorcycles/ lorries/ buses.)
4) vehicles speeding on the inner lane (.refer to above)
5) hazel lights being switch on during rain (lack of common sense).
6) cars provoking you for a race.
7) etc etc. (more to be listed)

now you know why 70% of the accidents here are caused by stupidity rather than carelessness.

Malaysia Boleh!
