Driving Disaster in KL Malaysia

... And I thought driving in Singapore was stressful. Driving in Malaysia is worse.

A few observations:

  • Pointless to draw the lane markings. Waste of paint. Nobody uses them.
  • Speed limits are of little or no use. Every car is either far faster or far slower than the limit anyway.
  • Note to car manufacturers: You can save costs by doing without signal lamps.
  • Note to car manufacturers: You can do without side windows. Only front visibility is required and used in Malaysia.
  • A new highway system is needed in Malaysia. Just like how a separate road is built for motocycles, a separate road should be be designed for micro cars under 1500cc. They are no different from motocycles running at 50km/h.
  • Strange but true. Construction tractors and bulldozers are allowed on highways… legally or not.
