I hate a lot of things. Hating stuff is what I do. Well I often get motivational emails that says we should let go of all things that we hate coz hatred would only rot in you and you would be the one suffering in the end. Or something. I'd say that's bullshit. I'll hate anyone and anything I like, whenever I like. E.g: I hate Mawi.

But lets be focused here. What I wanna say is I hate most other Malaysian drivers. Oh, man I hate them so much I just cant help but putting this in my freakin blog. I have made some categories of drivers (and motorcyclists) that I hate. Lets put them in point form.

1. The 'I'm-too-freakin-lazy-to-turn-on-my-signal' type

Although this list is not in any particular order, I hate these kind of drivers the most. The signal that I mean here is the turn signal. You know, the yellow light that blinks when you activate it's switch when you are going left or right. =P There are so many drivers here in the east coast that are too darn lazy to turn on their turn signals when they should have. E.g: changing lanes, taking corners, etc. Damn it. Dont they know how dangerous it can be? How the heck did you pass your driving test la? These drivers dont deserve their driving licence.

My tip: switch on your freakin' turn signal when you should.

2. When does a kancil turns into a khinzir?

Have you ever heard or say: 'Khinzir punya Kancil!' * ? People normally say this when they're driving around looking for a parking space in a parking area and when they spotted what seems to be an empty space from far has actually been taken up by a Kancil that's parked too damn deep. Thats how a Kancil turns into a khinzir (pig). 

* Note: The phrase is best expressed with the khinzir substituted with babi. The credit goes to my technician, Najib.

My tip to avoid your tiny car from being a called khinzir: please do not park too deep, or better still, reverse park!

p/s: I hope my kelisa has never been called a khinzir. =P

3. The 'I'm-afraid-of-the-dark' type

This is normal. This kind of people really like to turn on their high beam when driving at night I sometimes accidentally do this and I hate myself for it. Its normal on highways where people might forget that they turned on their high beam and didnt realize an on-coming car from the opposite way. What I cant make any sense here is that I have, sometimes, encountered drivers that turned on their high beams during daytime. Wth? Cant u see enough with the sunlight on? I dunno why but I think the beam causes more glare during daytime rather than night.

My tip: be aware of on-coming vehicles if you wanna turn on the high beam.

4. Motorcyclists

There are so many things that I hate about motorcyclists that I think I'm gonna save this for another entry. Maybe I'll throw in some photos as proof.

My tip: drive a car if you can afford it.

5. The 'cruising' type

I think these people really wanted to have a ride on the cruise liner ships but they cant afford it so they do it on the road. What I mean by cruising here is driving at speeds of between 40 to 60 km/h. Its not so bad if you're cruising at night time, with your girlfriend or family, where there arent that many vehicles on the road. But what the heck are you doing cruising on the road during rush hour!? I just couldnt understand why someone would wanna drive at 50km/h and holding up the traffic behind him.

One other type of cruisers are drivers who smoke while driving. I have observed that some cruisers are smokers. You know, when smokers smoke while driving, they'd never do it with the windows shut. They'd want to open the window so that they wont suffocate in their own smoke. But when they do this they cant drive fast or else the cigarette would be blown away from their fingers. So they drive slow, at speeds around 50 km/h. Darn.

My tip: for normal cruisers - please drive faster. for smokers - stop smoking or stop driving.

6. The 'color-blind' type

It doesnt matter what color your car is. The most important colors that you should know when you are driving is RED, YELLOW and GREEN. Some people are RED blind. For these people, they would still be driving even though the red (stop) traffic light is on. They think they can beat the RED light by driving really fast. Well I wont elaborate here on the consequences of such ignorance. You should know.

Some people are GREEN blind. They would still be stopping at the traffic light even though it is already green (go). They'd only move when other drivers start honking. I guess they just like the soothing sounds from an automobile's horn.

My tip: for RED blindness - please dont do it. you could kill someone. for GREEN blindness - please learn to be alert at traffic lights. Get into gear Before the light turns green.

7. The 'u-cant-overtake-me!' type

This is another dangerous type. They cant stand people overtaking them. Especially those with big cars who are being overtaken by a smaller car. If you wont let people overtake you why the hell cant you drive faster??? You are putting people in harm when you start to speed up while people are overtaking you. This kind of incident happened to my friend while we were in UTP. The stupid driver was another UTP student and she was a girl. It happens to me all the time when driving on a highway. Darn.

My tip: if you cant stand people overtaking you, please drive faster.

8. The 'brake-dancers'.

Yeah, thats right brake-dancers, not break-dance. These drivers like to hit the brakes a lot. It's almost like they were dancing. For most of the time I could not see what the problem was. Sometimes it happens because they almost missed a junction or a stop. This is also so darn dangerous coz people driving behind you might not be able to stop in time.

My tip: for brakers - please plan your trips and no sudden braking please. for the rest of the people - dont drive too close to the vehicle in front of you. You might not be prepared when they wanted to dance.

I think that's about it. I know there are other points that I might have missed here. If I get some new ones I'll continue in the 'Comments' section. If anyone is offended by this entry then you must be one of the drivers. Good that you have read this. Please, driving is not something to be taken lightly. People die on the road every day. It is a useless way to die. If God wanted to take your life on the road then we couldnt do anything about it, but thats a different story.

Note: the above mentioned drivers are valid only if their cars are fully functioning and the faults are only due to their own human ignorance.

Have a safe balik kampung journey.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin.
