Drivers

There are idiot drivers all over the world, even in the best of countries - although Malaysia is among the top few.

ok ok, to be fair, i must highlight some of the idiot drivers that I have encountered in Australia and UK.

We don't have to talk about the ones in KL unless we want to write a book - but of course, what is most amusing is the old man who bumped into the back of my car, IN A TRAFFIC JAM MOVING AT 10kph, and promptly got out of the car to apologise, saying "I'm so sorry, my slippers got caught on the accelerator even though my foot went to the brakes."

If you don't keep your eyes peeled in Oz, you could get into some heat. we were driving into the car park of a supermarket. John saw an empty lot, so he promptly drove into it - he didn't notice that someone else was trying to reverse her car into the same spot from miles away, BUT TAKING IT AT SNAIL'S PACE WITH NO INDICATOR LIGHT. Did she hoot and get out of the car to rant and rave - I reckon she lost her voice from that.

There must be a lot of pent-up anger in UK's yuppies too - we took a turn too quickly across the road and did not notice this BMW speeding down towards us. although we waved apologetically, this yuppie took a big turn-around just to look for us, and when he found us at the parking lot, proceeded to get out of the car to abuse us vehemently, not wanting to accept our apologies and admission of guilt. Maybe he is not allowed to swear at home, so this was his excuse to do so, at the top of his voice. His boss must have given him the boot that morning, so he had to take it out on someone.

So we should forgive him - the poor man will probably have to sell his precious BMW and live on scones and tea for the next six months.
