While travelling back from Kuala Terengganu yesterday, there were scattered rains along the way but the sky was clearly much darker towards Kuala Lumpur
As we were travelling on the Middle Ring Road near Ampang, the rains became heavier and the traffic was slow moving. After a long hour travelling from Kuala Terengganu, such crawling traffic was certainly tiring for the driver and passengers alike. But in KL, if it is raining, you can surely expect a traffic congestion as the vehicles moving slowly but there will be some daredevils, despite of the traffic congestion, trying very hard to overtake dangerously. Such silly and very irresponsible drivers are nothing more than brainless monkeys emulating the rain master Michael Schumacher. Worst still, some lorries were also driven by mad drivers recklessly fast and some time causing the water from the ground to spill on our car windscreen further worsening the visibility under torrential rains.
Some of the drivers of the huge commercial vehicles are simply care less about the rest of the road users simply because they are big, I mean their vehicles are big, so other passenger cars must give way to them by virtue of their size. It was reported in the Star that an empty school bus crashed into an ambulance from the opposite direction while trying to overtake a few days ago. The accident caused a 10-vehicle pile-up and although it was the reckless driving of one driver but many other unfortunate people were suffering from injuries or car damage. It was so fortunate that the bus was not loaded with pupils otherwise, it will be a big disaster.
Raining days, drive slowly-lar, slow a bit can still reach home safely and that’s the most important thing after all.
