Malaysian Drivers Under The Rain

I don't remember March being a raining season until this year. Surprisingly it has been raining cats and dogs since last week. Each time it rains, there will be traffic jam. I recalled a cabby once told me few years ago that drivers became stupid when it rains.

Why? Because everyone will break all rules just to save a few seconds. They will cut queue, stop at the white line and blocking all the cars behind, dangerously zig-zaging across the next lane, stop at the yellowbox when the traffic light turn red, still drive into the yellowbox when the street in front already queue till the end of the junction and resulted massive jam when the next street light turn green. Nobody wants to give way. Nobody wants to follow the rules. Everybody wants to out-fast and out-do others. At the end, everyone loose because when 50 drivers with that attitude at various spots in KL, the whole city suffer massive jam till late hours.

When this happened, everyone curses the traffic system but fail to reflect their own wrong doing. Drivers become bad temper and rackless and accidents happened. Tonight alone, I witnessed two cars accident at Mahamelu area, another one at the museum area and a motorbike slipped at Lok Yew area. Life value seem to take a back seat during raining season, don't you think so?
