DrivinginKL 101

i've been driving for 10 years and the traffic madness here in Kuala Lumpur is starting to eat into me. well... maybe it's not so much of the traffic... but the other drivers from out of state that is driving me nuts and they are a contributor to bad traffic here in Kuala Lumpur.

cars number plates to look out for when driving on KL roads :

- Car Plates that starts with A.... these bunch of slow-pots are from Perak. i would classified them as slow and dangerous drivers! my advise is... to overtake them as soon as you can!!

- Car Plates that starts with J... these bunch of 'illegal racers' are from the notorious state of Johore. just because the Pasir Gudang race track is situated in Johore, they think that they are heavenly racers. but the truth is they are just a bunch of fast and dangerous drivers who don't have any regards to other cars on the road. my advise is... to let them overtake you so they can be as far away in distance from you as possible.

- Car Plates that starts with T... these are the east coast bunch of drivers. probably used to driving on coastal roads, these bunch of drivers are always on 'cruising' mode even during rush hours. my advise is... unless you are cruising on a weekend... overtake them as soon as possible as well.

besides driving styles, what annoys the hell out of me is also the fact that malaysian drivers has got no regards to traffic rules. sometimes i seriously believe that they do not even understand the signs on roads. like what a yellow box means. or a yellow line means. or a double line means. most of them also don't know the no parking sign. or the no waiting / parking sign.

ok... enough bitching about the traffic here... i must admit that sometimes i fall into those traps as well. however, i try my best to be patient on the road and be a good driver by following basic traffic rules. and as many bad encounters i've had... there are also plenty of pleasant drivers on the road.
