Idiot sighted

Selangor regs..

I have been on the wrong lane. In Penang, Singapore, Germany, the US etc. And when I realised that I was in the wrong lane, I stayed there. So yes, I have had my fair share of mistakes (or my turn as you put it). But I made the wrong turn and then corrected my mistake legitimately. And suffered the inconvenience of my mistake and not let others suffer for me.

and I rest my case when I said that some here actually think doing this on public roads is acceptable.....

I have to add this though.....i'm a frequent user of that lane (not making U but to turn right after the lights). From my past observations and experience, there are still day dreaming drivers queuing up at the lights (of course in the proper lane la...not baboooning around). "Day dreamers" because even when lights turn green, the first couple of cars at the front will take off promptly. However there are some in the middle of the line who do not follow suit rather they wait for the immediate car in front of them to have traveled nearer to the lights, only then they start to accelerate.

Now 2 things happens here...

1) We all know how fast these lights turn over. With the above drivers lining up, i can quite readily say it would have allowed 8-9 cars only to get pass through the lights within that 1 cycle.

2) These drivers create long gaps in between them and the car in front of them.....

What i usually do is, wait patiently in the queuing up lane (i can be miles behind) and when the lights turn green, make a sprint dash towards the front using the right lane (the lane for U) and immediately "budget" (so to speak) that gap and slide in just before the lights. Don't get me wrong fellas....i have done this many times and with the right timing and speed, i could get in the gap without having the day dreaming driver at the back of me to apply his brakes. That's how long a gap there is at times. This is in line with the saying "my time is more important than yours" as these dreamers can sit all day long at that spot even when the lights go green and they can never give a rat's ass for your time.

Well....all this happens on one condition......when there's no "baboooons" (as quoted by someone else) jamming on the right lane (U turn making lane).

So in future, if you happen to see me sliding in, just smile and wave....smile and wave :biggrin:

Hahahahahaha that's a good one bro ... i was laughing so hard my boss looked at me across the office floor ... i smile and wave at her :4: She gave me a blur look lol

 

[krish]

LOL!!! That's being quick on your feet bimmerholic! And sigh..yes some people can be so slow in getting up and going, their minds a million miles away from the act of driving... and in doing so depriving others of the opportunity to make a light etc.... You didn't break a double line, you didn't hold up anyone and if you did that safely I would say fair game to that !

I never like being held-up by others on the road for their nuisance neither do i like holding others up with my act of doing so.

kota warisan - dengkil interchange full of these baboons with all sorts of vehicles

..hahahah..this makes me laugh really... .. maybe some invention of some sort of 'squirt gun' should be invented, so, every time some of this 'me me me and a lil bit more me morrons ' do what they do best, shoot their car from behind with squirt gun what will precisely paint small icon (5-10 cm) of some 'baboon under heavy drugs logo'..something similar to those crossings on WWII aircrafts when aces marking victory they won

I'm with Krish all the way...........been driving for more than 2.5 decades and probably circled the globe 3 times in terms of distance, so when I say I'm pissed off with driving attitudes today........I am really bloody pissed off!
The rule is if you make a mistake you pay for it by going around one more time even if it means another 5km! And believe me when I say that I have 'been there and done that' at this particular junction...........practice what you believe and hold up to.

Those were the days when I never had any use for my horn but these days I use it whenever I see an inconsiderate asshole driving like he's the only one who's paid his roadtax..........and these days its everytime I'm on the road!
With due respect Bimmerholic.....'sliding in' is also not right because it will condition you to drive like that all the time. To give you an example; motorcyclists who run the red lights very often eventually will do it all the time without even realizing it. This I know because I've almost hit them on a few occasions and you can really see from their faces that they werent fully conscious of what they were doing!
Today driving like idiots has become the norm as with bribery! This is what Malaysia has turned into!

If you've driven in places like Perth like I did, for instance during a family holiday, you would realize upon returning and driving on our roads that Malaysians drive around like F1 drivers....where the hell is the fire!
So one question comes to mind: If all Malaysians drive like F1 drivers, why then do we have a reputation for turning up late for functions??! (wedding dinners is a classic example!)

Guys, since this post has come up, I'd like to propose (been on my mind for some time now) that BMWCM initiates a courteous-driving campaign possibly with a slogan 'Go back to basics, drive with courtesy' or something like that. Feasible?
Lets prove that bimmer drivers can drive fast and yet be considerate and safe!

Peace and drive safe!

I decide to be one of the baboon after lost in KL for 2 hours after missing one U turn. I hate driving in big city.

I thought I was the baboon hahaha. Cheers

I understand where you're coming from. However, there isn't a pattern to how frequent or infrequent i do it, so to speak. At times, i wouldn't even bother if i know i'm not in a hurry to get to a place.

Having said that, for me to do an 'act' like that only means that i am conscious of it and as mentioned earlier....i do not obstruct others in any way for that matter.

Nonetheless, what has become of today's drivers can only be as real as it is on the road. What you read in theory during the course of learning to drive has always,.....remained just a theory to many.....far from practice.

toooootally agree.....................krish, i wish there are more people in this world like u.

twice,i met with yet other idiots on the road,on a roundabout,reverse light ON,trying to back up to make a turn off that he missed!!!!!!!
it's a blardy freaking roundabout for heaven's sake......make another round lar.......will cost you no less than a minute!but the INCONVENIENCE that he caused to other road users.....blardy hell......as long as I get what I want....I don't give a sh*t about u!

 

[rx8]

Moots, Chee b.. drivers everywhere nowadays. If i can get by a day without encountering such idiots, i will go buy 4d, sure kena. I use d ldp everyday n it must contain d most no of illiterate road hogs in malaysia. So i overtake from d left, what else 2 do, n safely cut in front as close as possible 2 these idiots 2 show my displeasure.

 

[bimmerholic]

Yes, though LDP has that many road hogs, so does the Fed HW too. Road hogs are the worsts ones on the road. They can be absolutely oblivious to the fact you're right behind their ass with high beams flashin/honkins (of course after exhausting all safe methods of telling the mofo in front to F off). And worst still, when you actually have a chance to overtake and you see them on your side cruising at 50km/h on the fast lane w the HANDPHONE on!!!!!
