This is my second week in Malaysia. I have been driving quite often now, going here and there. One thing that frustrates me in Malaysia is the traffic!! I think that the drivers here are crazy, rude, never bothered following the rules, etc. I hate those people who ride a motorcycle!!!
As you guys know that I have been tamed by the Australian's way of driving for five years, driving in Malaysia can make me go insane sometimes!!! Most of the drivers DO NOT give way to you, even if you have the right of way, they will just squeeze in in front of your car trying to cut queue. I mean, emergency lane is for the ambulance!! Don't fucking use the emergency lane during traffic jam and try to cut queue. And when you wanna cut queue, please make sure that you don't honk or be mad that no one wanna give way to you coz.... It's illegal to use the emergency lane and I fucking have the right of way... so fuck off!!!
As for the motor bike in Malaysia! They are crazy!!! They don't give way to you either!!!If you are driving a car, you have to always be very very very cautious that you don't hit them down!!! A few days ago, I nearly used my car trying to bang down some of the motor bikes!!! One of them when making a turning, he turned to my lane which I nearly hit him. Then he gave me an eye as if I am the one turning to his lane!! Fucker!!!
Then another motor bike just took his own sweet time in front of me!!!! The last one was even more serious, when I was at the junction, I wanted to turn right to the main road when the traffic light turned green. Guess what?? One motor bike just ride passed me when I was about to make my turning. I swear to God that I got a shock that time coz I thought that I nearly hit him!!!! Coz he was supposed to stop coz the traffic light for his lane is red!!! CCB!!!!!!!!
Oh... One more thing... Once the traffic light turns red, you can continue to drive faster for another 30 seconds! Everyone does that here!!! The road sign in Malaysia is damn shitty!!! Road signs are supposed to be provided to the public before the next turning, but I went to Shah Alam today and the road signs are all provided at the turning or slightly after the turning. It made me miss my turning for two times!!! There are so many many trees blocking the road signs, and once I got closer to finally realize that I have to make a left turn, it was too late!!! Urrgghh...
Don't bother giving ways to anyone here. Coz no one will give way to you!!! You have to be brave to squeeze your way out/in somewhere!!! Or else, you will be stuck at that position for 100 years!!! I have to make myself a reckless driver when I am driving here!! When I give way to other car, they take me for granted and some of them even honk at me. Jor. Sabar lah sikit!!! (Be patient!!!) Are you guys rushing to go somewhere?? Maybe they are rushing to use the road to heaven!!! Idiot!!!
My friends said that the way I am driving my car is too slow, they always say that I do not have to follow the road sign. Hahahaha... I guess I am too used to following the speed limit at the highway in Perth. So, when I am here, I drive 80/km at the highway when most of my friends are driving like 100 to 120/km here. They have been complaining that I drive like a turtle and they nearly fall asleep most of the time!! Hehehe...
