Hard to Break Habit

The festive season is approaching and this time next month the highways will be jammed up with vehicles transporting the city-dwellers back to their hometowns. KLCC will be filled with Banglas celebrating eid ul fitri. 

If I'm not mistaken, last year, MTD, the operators of the ECE (LPT) offered toll free travel on the Karak-Kuantan stretch of the highway. The catch is you have to travel after midnight, or so I thought. I timed my journey to ensure I get to Karak after midnight but I was still charged the full toll. Lesson learnt; nothing is ever free, especially highway tolls.

A common sight on the highways during the festive season is full utilisation of the emergency lanes. Not due to breakdowns but for overtaking purposes. Those people who use the emergency lanes to overtake during a traffic crawl are a bunch of selfish idiots. 



Another type of idiot drivers are those who switch on their hazard lights during heavy rain. The hazard light is only to be used when the vehicle is stationary, never when its moving. Idiots.

Some drivers just do not know what fog lights are for. They are for foggy conditions. Switching on your fog lights in normal weather will blind the driver in the car behind. Idiots.
