Big Car, Small Brains?
Yeah, so I was driving down on the way to work vis the Federal Highway and saw a HUGE Lexus 460 driving like its his grandfather's road, or may be it is?
First video, I was trying to catch him changing lanes without signals. Number plate was WNY 3. I ended up seeing a dumb motorcyclist idling in the middle of the fast lane. Number plate BKK 4412. Well, what if one of us bangs the motorcycist?
As for the second video, the white Lexus was caught red handed :D.
Well, people build their business from scratch, and get a car this huge. BUT, where's the manners? Where's the brains that tells you SIGNALS ARE CREATED TO BE USED, not created to 'pai leng' or as an optional item!?
Seriously, all car manufacturers should make indicators or signals as an optional item on all cars. This way, they can save cost on the lamps, bulbs, wiring, switches, fuses.
Smart idea? I think not

Jam without reasons?
Does it not piss you off when you get stuck in a jam and crawled 2km in forty minutes?
This was what happened when I paid the last NPE toll at PJS2 and was heading home passing Sunway Pyramid. JAM! JAM! JAM!!!!! Yes, got stuck there for forty precious minutes and, only to realise that there wasnt any jam after the Kewajipan Roundabout.
Basically, everyone was cutting from the fast lane to the far left lane as usual. Inconsiderate and dumb as usual, causing other motorists behind them to slow down and wait for them to idle over to the far left.
Dumb isnit it?

Motorists without signals
Does it not piss you off when you see a ca rin front of you idling in the middle of the road, changing lanes as they like, without flashing their signals indicating that they're gonna change lanes?
Your grandfather's road?
Your grandfather's road?

Cops record statement from doctor
JOHOR BARU: A specialist who claimed a policeman had falsely accused her of talking on her mobile phone while driving has given her statement to the police.
Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the statement was recorded soon after the case of the woman, who only wished to be known as Dr Tan, was brought to his attention.
“I will ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted,” he said.
It was previously reported that Dr Tan from a specialist hospital here was taken aback when a policeman falsely accused her of talking on her mobile phone while she was driving to work at about 8.45am on Nov 26.
The uniformed policeman stopped her and accused her of the offence which she claimed she did not commit.
DCP Mohd Mokhtar added that he did not take such matters lightly, and if the claim was true, strict action would be taken against the police personnel involved.

Thirty Minute Delivery / Accident with a Motorcyclist
Pizza companies nowadays commit themselves to fast delivery. Normally within thirty odd minutes or the buyer gets a free regular pizza voucher to be used in their next purchase. Indeed, they do deliver their promise and pizza in thirty minute.
But wait! Behind the scenes :
Their despatches are seen riding their motorcycles around recklessly like dogs unleashed loose after ages of being chained up. You can literally see them jumping red lights, zig zagging through traffic like nobody's business. They jump lights ALL the time. Yes, i repeat, not most of the time, but all the time!
They think that they and their vehicles are so small, that they need not obey the law. Whenever they see a red light, they look left, right, and cross without waiting for the light to turn green.
This doesnt just apply to pizza delivery guys, but also a large handful of regular motorcyclists. They think they're the king of the road eh?
When we drive our cars, cross the green lights, we just pop one of them and mow them down unintentionally. And who's fault it is? Our fault?
The motorcylist will obviously tell their fellow police officers that they got their priorities and should be given way to. They'd also tell their fellow officers that we were the ones that jumped the lights.
The same thing happened to me once somewhere in PJ, when I got hit by a motorcyclist and it so-happened to be my fault? HAHAHAHA!!
Please refer to the below picture :
As the picture illustrates, I was making my way out of the junction, crawling popping my head out to see if there are cars from either side of the road. It was jammed, as per yellow boxes showed. Fortunately, one car gave way to me.
So I slowly drove out, still looking out for cars. The next thing I knew, BANG!
A motorcyclist went straight into my front right fender.
He went onto the other side of the road overtaking the whole jam and wanting to make a right turn into the junction where I was coming out from.
He was uncooperative and said it was his 'jalan utama', as in it was his right.
So yeah, we both went to lodge a police report, and the cop blindly said that it was my fault, jumping to conclusion without even investigating. There were even skid marks on the wrong side of the road from the tracks of the motorcyclists tires.
The cop said 'siapa jalan terus?', as in, 'who was the one going straight?'.
I told the cop that he was on the wrong side of the road and he replied to me and said that the motorcyclist can go on the wrong side of the road anytime as there were dotted lines.
I was like, 'WHAT!? So you are saying that he was on the wrong side of the road and therefore causing the accident, and you, saying that it isnt his fault!?'
He just replied and said that it was my fault for coming out of the junction and not looking out for oncoming vehicles.
Where is the law? Where is the initiative to do thourough investigations before issuing summons!?
After the arguement it was already in the afternoon. I took off with an agreement that I will pay for the motor's damages which I estimate to be RM200-300 or so. The guy was cocky and wanted his bike to be repaired all the way in Sentul, which was inconvenient for me to go to, to pay the bill. At approximately 5pm, he told me that the damages are a whopping RM500-600plus. Breakdown was like; bent fork, bent rim, bent this bent this broken this that, fender, and shits.
So I told him, meet at the police station. The cop issued me a summon. Says that the motorcyclist will claim against my insurance.
I wasnt happy and therefore took to to somebody's aunt who has a position in the BAR council on the following day. She got the Deputy Public Prosecutor to review the summon, summoned the cop to his office, and spoke to the cop. End of the day, the summon was cancelled and my insurance was untouched.
However, I'm still not satisfied that the motorcyclist got away so easily, and the lazy cop is still holding onto his job.
