The Ugly Malaysian on the road...

Its been a while and I have been wanting to write about the "ugly Malaysian'.
Yes, all of us are gulity one way or another but shall I list them for you? I think I have many lists, but I shall start the one with drivers on the road.

1. Speeding and zig-zagging his way to 'heaven'.
2. Overtaking on the right suddenly.
3. Hogging the driver in front eventhough we have been advised to keep at least 5km apart.
4. Turning left or right without using signal lights.
5. Spitting out the window.
6. Throwing rubbish out of the window or door!
7. Using the car horn incessantly.
8. Stopping the car suddenly with no indication.
9. Parking hapzardly as and when he likes.
10.Double parking and disappearing and your car is blocked.
11.Displaying 'territorial instincts' when coming out of the occupied parking lot. (taking his own
sweet time, cos he knows someone is waiting to park in his place)
12.Getting someone to book the parking space even when the car has not arrived!
13.Not switching on the car headlights to save battery power.
14.Blasting the radio out loud even when passing housing estates at night.
15.Speed chasing along busy highways.
16.Causing others to crash because other vehicles want to avoid them
17.Road hogging on the fast lane.
18.Road h0gging because he is using the handphone!
19.Busy with his partner to notice what is on the road.
20.Letting his children stick their heads out the window without a care in the world!


So folks, with this Ugly Malaysian on the road, how safe are we?
If you can think of more, please add on...
Chao....

Wah! So many different situations. Enough for many different PhD theses. So the next time another new situation crops out, don't get angry. Instead rejoice because another chance to do a PhD in Social science--may be in a new field called the psychosocial transportational communicative behaviorial intelligence quotient. (Please do not check the Wikipedia or any other sources for this term. No publication yet. Just coined 10 seconds ago.)
