Those really champion mia.They accelerate fast on coming out from junction, but to a certain speed only, then maintain that slow speed ......

Agree on that, as if is like their Bapak mia jalan. Got car at the next lane also they keep flash at you. Is like "WTF you want me to do?" Force the car at the middle lane to the left lane? :stupid:Well actually, those who frequently use the NS Highway (more or less on a daily basis) understands the flow of traffic and know where and when to overtake.
I use the highway on a daily basis (Tg Malim - KL - Tg Malim). Seldom you see accidents. Breakdowns confirm la. Its when the weekends (especially lepas baru dapat gaji and school holidays) and long holidays due to celebration is where the agony and frustration starts.
Most people will drive 'safely' and closely on the middle lane (for 3 lane highways). Right lane would be like everyone wanna rush like hell and tailgate like there's no tomorrow. Left lane is always a breeze. Much safer to get away from the chain. Hell even driving around 100 - 110 km/h on the left lane is faster than the middle lane. Like the other day going back home on Wednesday evening before long weekend, bagi my blood pressure naik saja hahaha.
Another thing that frustrates me is selfish drivers who constantly flashing their headlights. Ingat small space between cars in the middle lane my corolla can squeeze in and don't care about their safety and my safety is it? Sheesh.
One thing that actually baffles me is people who go fast on the left lane and overtake where there are no cars or whatsoever on the right lane.
P.S: Actually, I also do like that but just because of testing the road surfaces / to reduce the bumpyness.
I think I should make a special thread / guide for road users on what places to be aware (plus where cops / jpj usually hang out between Tg Malim - KL - Tg Malim hahah).There's a similar guide but focuses solely on the "Bayangan Maut" section of the Northern stretch of the highway. Stretch starts from Bukit Beruntung - Tg Malim. Various kinds of accidents involving various vehicles. Go google for more info.
Honking and flashing are just methods to communicate, coz we cannot speak to the other cars, right? So no need to take any offense if both are done reasonably.Anyways just to highlight although there is a minority of assholes. But majority of our malaysian drivers are steady. Flash once straight move. Flash from far and all will clear the right lane for you. If a car honks at you to move instead if flashing. High chance its a foreign car. So I try not to get offended.. in their country maybe different perception towards honking. I once went to india. Everyone would honk for everything. In highway every 10 seconds would honk once either to let them know your here.. or to move..
The problem should be they dont have throttle control. Serious.wimmen drivers are quite rough drivers also...all dowan to gimme way when exiting a junction or let me switch lane, they tend to accelerate faster, dunno y.
But some don't even use the rear view mirror. That is why flashing and getting close is of no use...
Yeah about the honk, just came back from medan a few days ago. Over there compared to our malaysian driving, it is somewhat 10 times worse as in its just like chaos on the road. Overtaking like theres no tomorrow, to many honking in order to overtake, cut lane like nobody's business.Anyways just to highlight although there is a minority of assholes.

Agree, if someone is hogging the right lane then just be patient a bit and overtake from the left rather than wasting time stressing your self on the right lane. Listen to some music you like to lower your stress as well, to me music really2 helps lower my stress (even though I'm listening to metal).Now I tend to just relax and drive. Ignore everyone's driving attitude on the road. Who am I to educate them. Let them learn the hardway or meet the same low IQ and EQ species to deal with them.
I just focus on getting to my destination. Makes life more relaxing and pleasant than getting angry at someone I don't even know.
I realized I can get high from listening to MightyCarMods' songs and with the windows down.Agree, if someone is hogging the right lane then just be patient a bit and overtake from the left rather than wasting time stressing your self on the right lane.
