Interesting Bites

As it is approaching the festive season, traffic jams gets worse… there seems to be more cars on the road & people are more impatient that ever.

My observation these few days are :-
1. People drive very fast , maybe 100km/h at LDP or even the small roads in Sri Damansara
2. People are more impatient - honking & showing vulgar signs at other road users ( Do they own the road? )
3. People ignore the signal lights given by other road users
4. Cutting queue - especially at LDP nearing Damansara Utama when the road narrows to 2 roads heading towards PJ
5. Jumping the red lights , rather disregard the red lights! I saw two occasions, where a car behind me went in between 2 cars at the traffic lights to go against the red lights. I wonder what is traffic lights for if people can simply move on RED?? One was a public card, another was a taxi driver.
6. Tailgating. Not that I hate them, but I saw an accident involving 5 cars yesterday. If they were not too close to the cars in front, how did they collide in an emergency brake? Never go too close the car in front. No one is an expert driver. We drive fast - but we don’t know how to react in emergency. Even if we drive a Ferrari or Mercs, remember that we can die in a car accident too.

So, with all these festive season coming… people are more hot tempered? Hmm…

And not to mention crime. Someone broke into my parent’s house in Penang & tried to steal my mum’s chain out of her neck! My aunt’s handbag was snatched right outside her own house & got a few stiches coz the person used a knife!

I’m starting to hate staying in the city. People are individualistic, self-centred & unfriendly. I can’t have the best of everything, but I guess I can trade $$ with peace.
