Meeting the Superb Road Users

These days the driving stylessssss of driver back in the town are really driving me crazy. Most of the times, I couldn't help but ask how the hell they passed their driving tests. Kay, maybe they paid for the license as this kopi duit culture in this segment had longed known by everybody in Malaysia.
Here I would like to mention some of  the patterns of these superb skillful drivers

  • Slow tortoise drivers. Okay I understand safety first but hello friends, driving at speed of 20km/h or less is not safe. I know is housing area and there might be kiddos ran onto the street but 20km/h or 10km/h is too much. Those driving at 60km/h on expressway and on the fast lane also giving me grief. Is FAST LANE. The speed limit is 110km/h. You can probably keep your safety speed of 60km/h on the slow lane. So if you want to drive safe please get away from the FAST LANE. 
  • Braking joyous. Maybe petrol price is nothing to you my rich fellows but saving bit on the petrol enough to buy me lunch or dinner at mamak. Maybe the 2 cars distant is not enough and probably you need more spaces. Can you please stop pressing your brake non stop? May I know why are you pressing your brake pedal when there's nothing in front of you and you are already at slow speed? FYI. braking is petrol consuming. If you are thinking you are driving slightly way too fast just release your accelerator and your speed will be decelerated itself. Brake only when it's required to.
  • HID trend. So the given headlights aren't bright enough and HID with 4300k also insufficient for you. Between, are you pleased if there are HID with 6000K flashing at your reverse mirror while you drive? If you can't see the road conditions well at night then I would suggest you some good optical centers for checkup.
  • Multitaskers. Yes I admitted that I multitask too when I drive but I still keep my driving way safe. These multitaskers seem to be able to do everything in the car. I even once saw girl putting on fake eyelashes while driving. What do you see? The road conditions or your eyes? Talking phone is acceptable but please keep your car in your lane. Texting is absolutely unbearable. Dah lah you drive with one hand but your eyesight is on the phone screen not the roads ahead of you! Reading newspaper or just reading anything is totally intolerable. Same likes texting. It's dangerous! DANGEROUS!
  • Turning into any junction without any kind of notices. Not giving signal at all. I believe these poor one must have given deficient made cars that do not support signals functions. 
  • Taking over without any form of notices. These fellow drivers seem to forget there are also others users on the roads or maybe they owned the roads. Some genius even took over suddenly and leaving those drivers behind him a sudden jam brake. My point here is PUT ON THE SIGNAL LIGHTS
  • The in-between . Motorcyclists are highlighted over here. Sneaking in and out between cars is not safe and it's uncomfortable for drivers. Sometimes I just wanna shout at them when they scratched my car or knocked my car body or side mirrors. By the way, I understand that morning jam is terrible but please do not knock the car that accidentally blocked your way please. I don't knock your motorcycle when you are blocking my way.  
The mentioned are those I extremely unendurable. 
I hope users on the roads please be more tolerant and understanding thus making the driving journey smoother and enjoyable for everyone.

p.s:Sarcasm to me is an art of language. Therefore if you do not value the beauty of it then you are welcome to leave me alone =)
