The Road-ies

If anyone asked me what I loathe most about my fellow countrymen, it has to be the lack of manners on the road (actually, the lack of civic-mindedness came in a close 2nd).

I spend at least 1.5hours on the road daily - 45mins to get to & fro work. On bad days (read: Friday evenings when it's raining), I take up to 2.5hrs just to get out from the Golden Triangle and back to PJ. That's a lot more hours I spend on the road than I spend with Bryan on a weekday! So obviously when I'm stuck in traffic, I look around and these are my personal observations, which I find more amusing then anything.

1) Men are more likely to give way to me compared to another woman
2) If you signal, you will most likely NOT be able to weave your way in as the car behind you will speed up
3) There's always one car travelling at 40 km/hr on the fast lane, and another travelling at 140 km/hr on the slow lane
4) A traffic jam is caused frequently by drivers turning a 2-lane traffic into 3 lanes (or more!)
5) A traffic jam is also caused by the errant driver who drives on the wrong lane, but swerves in at the last minute, causing the drive travelling in the right lane to slam his brakes (and hence, causing a jam)
6) You will always encounter a car whose driver is on its way to "reincarnation" (ie. in a darn big hurry)
7) And if you are in the way of the car from 6), the driver will flash his headlights at you repeatedly until you move out of his way
8) And if you don't, the car from 6) will swerve in and out using the left lanes
9) If you've been to SS2, you will find cars parked hap-hazardly to avoid paying RM0.60 for one hour of legal parking
10) If you can't get by, and you give the driver a slight honk, the driver will glare at you as if YOU are in the wrong
11) When someone is parked behind your car and you need to get out, the driver is not likely to apologise for the inconvenience he caused you
12) And of course, we have the reckless motorcylists whom weave in and out of traffic, and we have to avoid them like ants

Anyone else has other interesting observations?
