Traffic Light The continued presence of a problem has a tendency to inure one to it. So it is in the case of traffic lights, which doubtlessly serve a useful purpose, but nonetheless are a problem ( to most malaysian drivers ), in that they are really very ugly. When you approach an intersection, a monitor ( traffic light la tiu ) - mounted within your vehicle will display either a green light, a yellow light, or a red light. You know what to do. If the light is red, you stop at the white line painted on the asphalt. If is green, you move your ass on and if is yellow...you go slow but im sure most of us dont give a fuck about it and instead accelerate the shit out of it hoping to get through. I was on my way back after work this evening, i took the usual way back to home. Whenever i reached this stupid intersection, ( T-junction ) 85% of the time there are police traffic guiding our malaysian drivers to cross the damm junction. Im sure you guys experience this before, where traffic lights are no longer the boss here - it is all masterminded by the police traffic hand signal now. I thought to myself..."Why the fuck do we need these traffic lights then?", arent they supposed to guide us? Why do we need to stationed the damm cops there when traffic lights are supposed to do the job? The result: Face it, Malaysian drivers are just pure asshole. When the light turns yellow, they kept speeding and in the end they are stucked in the middle of the road. And courtesy of that, it blocks the shit out of everybody and this is where bottleneck are created. Some even "jump que" as if they are rushing to meet their ressurected 243 year old grandfather. All they need to do is just give you a kingkong-slapped kinda smile and expect you to give way. Dont believe it? Ask yourself ;) [12:05 AM] |
