Driving one up the wall.

Is it only me or is it just me? Every time whenever i drive in Kuala Lumpur, I can't help but get all work up and piss off with the driving habits of Malaysians.

For those who had drove in Kuala Lumpur, you would know what I am referring to. For those for intend to drive in KL, my advice is "Have a strong heart, a cool head and balls of steel".

I am pretty sure that in all of those cars that are on the road, it is well equipped with signal lights but unfortunately, it is not well equipped with drivers that make use of it! One moment you might be following a car and the next minute, the car in front will just turn either left or right...without ample warning.

Then again, when one is travelling at one's pace on a straight road and as one approaches a road with a fork on the left, you can rest assured that the car approaching from the left seems to have no brakes at all. Either that or the driver does not realise that there are things call brakes in his/her car! Makes you on the straight road wants to slow down to make way for the car coming from the left! Is that the unwritten rule here?

And the poor pedestrians! Anywhere in the world, it is the rule for cars to stop for pedestrians. Should you be in Kuala Lumpur and should you come across any driver who ACTUALLY stop for you while you are walking on a zebra crossing, look at the driver and say a word of prayer for you have seen GOD, a Good Obedient Driver!
