Malaysian Drivers

It is frustrating when you stuck in traffic jam for hours. What make it even more frustrating is that you found out the jam is actually caused by the other side of the road.

That's the kind of attitude for a lot of Malaysian drivers. They tend to be busy-body when something happened. They like to rush to the scene for some reason, and that's when they simply stopped and parked their car anywhere regardless of the traffic and danger they are in at that moment of time.

Also drivers tend to slow down to have a look at what happen eventhough it's on the other side of the road. Few weeks ago I saw a few accidents happened within 300 meter space, which I believe first started on the other side of the road, where a car hit another car and also the barrier. Over this side one car driver I suppose was losing the concentration while looking on the accident happened the other side, hit the van in front, and right after on the left lane, a lorry was hitting another vehicle in front of him. Further down, there was a 4 cars pile up, which is causing a massive jam, and worst still is that it's all happened during the rainy day.

Hopefully these drivers would be more concern about road users safety than their own curiousity and make the road safer to drive and use.
