Highway Ethique

[logicman]

Driving along the highway during festive season is most stressful especially those strech with 3 lanes. Many malaysian drivers does not realised that the right lane is for overtaking but many take it as fast lane. They just drive within the speed limit and doesn't careless about other users. Sometimes I wonder how JPJ approved their license.

[simon_tan]

How did JPJ approve YOUR license - when you are upset that you cannot go above the legal speed limit ? Last I remember, the unlimited speed limit on highways is only in Germany (perhaps some other countries.. this I do not know)

*disclaimer* I am personally (sometimes - ok ok - most times) in the same boat as you - I love driving fast and sometimes forget that I too EXPECT other drivers to get out of my way when I am driving on the 'fast' lane. I just have to repeat to myself that our public roads are filled with all sorts of drivers, and it is a futile effort to change everyone else - but I can possibly start with my own driving habits.

It may be my own mind playing tricks, but whenever I am 'speeding' on the highway, and every chance I get, I pull off to the left lane AFTER over taking, I notice that cars behind me will most likely do the same. Of course there will be the odd 'super JPJ license F1 driver that will do the opposite.

In any case, have a save drive home everyone.

i'm glad that theres a part of civil society which recognizes that not only drivers of big buses break the rules.

and after all the curses and swears, discover that the summones are against the company and not the media-abused driver. and yet nobody offers a comforting word or an apology for the false accusations... :(

i'm repeating my disclaimer, i.e. i have absolutely no relationship with or interest in or knowledge of anybody connected to any recent accidents involving public buses.

To all those drivers who flash their lights at me when I am on the right lane at speed limit overtaking>>> my messge to you >>> stay behind and take your turn, let me overtake first and then you overtake me at whatever speed you want. Flashing lights at me would not change anything, but could in fact make me stay on the right lane as long as I like.

To all those drivers who overtake me and then very quickly turn into my lane. In many instances it is because there is another car behind them and so this quick change of lane is because the second car behind is flashing the lights >> my message to you >> please go furthur then change into my lane as you can hit my car if you change too early. Ignore the nut who flash the lights at you. You are in front and it is your right to overtake safely.

To all those drivers who overtake me and then slow down >> my message to you >> please make up your mind whether you want to drive faster or slower than me. Do not overtake just for the sake of overtaking.

[EricK]

hmm when i took my driving license some years back it wasn't stated in the law book that the overtaking lane supercedes the speed limit.. oh well the rules might have changed since.. maybe the person person should give his car number so that i can give way to him next time i see his car on the road.. :rolleyes:

Just to digress a bit. Does anyone know what the Road Transport regulation says about use of the hazard lights ? In some countries, it is allowed only when the car is stationary. In others, it is allowed under some other conditions, like when there's fog or heavy rain to make your vehicle more visible. I remember years ago, cars are fitted with fog lamps.

[chewie]

yes...in malaysia also have that rule. hazard lights only application when your car is stationery. but ppl abuse it when its rain heavily...

[bslee]

but ppl abuse it when its rain heavily...

I think many are anything but vague about the use of hazard lights. I've known some drivers who don't even know whats a "hazard light" nor where the switch. Nevertheless, I seem to observe its already a current road culture to use it when it rains heavily with bad visibility. It does help though but yet the fact remains most are really not in the know. I'm not sure if any emphasis about it is currently within the lessons by driving schools.

One thing though..I HATE THOSE CARS fitted with those new bright bright xenon lamps. They produce excessive glare and this country is NOT ready for it.

They passed me near Tapah on the PLUS Highway going northward around 11.00 am, is this legal? Oh, I was doing 140kmph, they must be around 180kmph in the midst of a festive packed highway.... Malaysia bolih!

In these countries, the hazard lights are for stationary vehicles that pose a danger to other moving vehicles.
It is very hard to judge your distance from your moving vehicle to that moving vehicle if it uses its blinking hazard lights.
In our bolehland, there is no requirement for ALL motor vehicle manufacturers to fit the important rear fog light which provides better visibility to other drivers.
This attitude is not surprising, since some so called 'transport minister' do not even know where is the emergency lane is, let alone what its use is!
I feel the 'kampong' attitude is the rule when it comes to Roads & Highway Ethique.
It's ok for Family of 4 on the cub chai.
It's ok for bike not to have rear lights and small number plates.
In UK, Visibility for bikers are important. They have big number plates same size as cars. Wear reflective vest beside the usual helmet and head lights and rear lights always on.

[bslee]

Hehehe!.. VERY COMMON sight!...everyday, anytime and most of the time.
Attitude, attitude AND attitude!. I bet you all, you can jail them, fine them heavily, but it'll be square one soon after.

On other road offences, millions of drivers have been fined time and again..has it improved matters over 50 years?.. I think not!.. worse maybe.

[VeeJay]

In US, they do allow to use hazard lights, to indicate hazard conditions, such as snow, black ice, heavy rain, etc...

WE are talking about Malaysian drivers are we?so whats new!
I dont think anyone of you can say you are blameless too, i am not righteous either so i am not going to complain of others.

You have a valid point BUT, we now hear of road bullies and verbal intimidation, VERY arrogant and selfish drivers on the road that test your patience thoroughly. All these were rarely heard of maybe 3 decades ago. Don't forget people are capable of sometimes rolling down the window, even shout "bodoh punya driver" to someone else who's driving is apparently more sluggish than yours. People spitting sputum out the window, throwing durian skins and car picnic trash out the windows.
These people's attitude are a threat to the safety of other road users. Bullying can be a criminal act of intimidation whereas one's slight flouting of the law can be tolerated somehow. (but how you evade the law or penalty is another matter)

[SingaporeEhSai!]

on the recent drive back up north, found out many stretches of roads now 3 lanes instead of 2...but problem is now discovered many drivers got new disease...its called RIGHTLANETITUS...u guys may have realsied many drivers wanna stick on the 3rd right lane even when the extreme left lane is empty... :D

Most times also i noticeed lone car on right lane driving 90-110 even when the left lane is empty, must wait until i come right up to his backside(even when i flashed a brief beam from afar and another flash when i am nearer with my right hand signal on) and sometimes they will move aside, sometimes they wont..thank god i have installed a super loud horn to wake him up...am i a bully? u decide... :D

[iml109]

You are allowed to use hazard life on a moving vehicle if it's an emergency situation (only briefly - e.g. there is a pile up in front and u were driving too fast, had to do emergency brake).

Not all bikers (by bikers, they drive harleys) -if not rare- wear vests. Their headlights are more than glaring enough. Or the noise of their how many horse power engine. :rolleyes:

Not amazingly, when we Malaysians go over there, we become exemplary. Both sides certainly have attitude problems. :rolleyes:

Singaporeans love Malaysia because we are cheaper, have vast open spaces, green as far as the eyes can see, no concrete jungles (if they avoid the Klang Valley) and very long highways to exercise their horses under their bonnets ;)

Hm.. most drivers will usually let you pass but then there are also those who won't especially if they see a female driving :confused: To these type of drivers: I may be a female (female less prone to angry outburst kot) driving a 'plotong' car, but if I'm behind you on the right lane, please, please let me pass first then you can continue your sightseeing after that :p And I try to refrain from using flash & horn as much as possible ;)

[besitai2007]

By the way, its Highway Ethique or Highway Ethiquette? :D
If you need the correct spelling and meaning, "etiquette" means the "rules of polite behaviour" and "ethics" means "the rules of conduct and behaviour". Just to describe the behaviour of some morons on the road who feel that they can do anything - since our cops don't enforce the rules. :)

How about the daily jam along the small road between Carrefour and Subang Parade? Look at the morons along the left lane blocking other cars as the cars try to squeeze into the remaining right lane. It is a daily occurrence. Are they blameless also? Do they care about other people? Worst of all where are the traffic cops?

Now for this one, I agree with you 101%. It's really terrible having to go thru the bottleneck caused by some inconsiderate people who have the audacity to park along the road. Sometimes, the driver will be there (presumably waiting for someone), sometimes no driver (hm nevermind la I park here, after all I go in Carre4 short while only). Hello people... don't you all know that Carre4 has FREE parking. Not good enough ah? :confused: When I usually pass by & give them a look, they will just look back at you, like dungu, pretend like they haven't done anything wrong. Oh well, they probably think that they're right :mad:

i have witnessed many years before in Ipoh, some van blocked the path of an express bus fromleaving Medan Kid..bus driver horned for like 15 minutes and no one came to move the van away. Bus driver whacked the van 3 times to make sure he breaks the van's lights before moving off.Tats a good lesson to be taught.

i think perhapd ppl should be informed that brief high beam flash is not an intimadating act lah. Kittycat, the way u made the above sentence is like its an act of aggression. Remember, brief flash..make use of ur right hand turn signal as well..
If u dont utilise ur beam to inform the car in front that u intend to overtake, how do u do it? tail gate closely?

[terisunny]

Imagine there's this 1 stupid inconsiderate woman driver who park her little City (WQQ 339) on the third lane of the Jln Sultan Ismail, just outside California Fitness at Std Chart building each workday morning...PEAK hour at 8am!!!!! This is MAJOR traffic junction and she just happily park her car there each morning, while going to the gym I believe. All the cars have to avoid hers and cram into the middle lane......can you imagine! One fine morning, I came across her as she was trying to move her car....I just stop next to her car and stared at her....guess what? she has the cheek to point fingers at me!!!! Really spoilt my morning....boiling mad! Any recommendation on what I should do??!! I saw her driving her car into Life Centre's car park! am thinking to take a trip there just to sratch a note on her car bonnet!!!! Talk about inconsiderate drivers!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Whoops, sorry if I've unintentionally made it sound like that. Well, actually I don't think high beam flash is aggresive or intimidating.. I also do it sometimes, but when I said I try not to flash & horn as much possible is bcoz I'll give the front car a bit of time (sometimes more la if I'm not really rushing), & if the driver still don't realise, then flash, then horn if still don't know my intention.. ehem, I don't tailgate either :D If all the above fails :( then overtake lt lane (bad, bad kitty :p ) Hm come to think of it, I rmber an incident few years ago, when I honked the guy in front of me, he gave way, then after that tailgated me all the way till I reached the toll gate. Luckily, managed to lose him after that. He probably thought that I'm trying to intimidate him :(

like the thread says, this overtaking procedures/etiquette are only applicable on NS Highway as there arent that many cars as compared to other highways especially in the city..We dont expect to give way when the supposedly highways or expressways are jammed up right? :D

Best way, IMO, if u were tailgated in such a manner the next time is to move to left lane and let him overtake u back.No point fr u,especially a lady driver to aggravate the situation with such drivers. And never stop ur car for them to approach u. We have all read abt the case abt a man hacking to death another car driver when they got into such a situation a few years ago..

Almost everyone turns into monsters when they get behind the wheel, whether we want to admit it or not.For some examples, watch MTV's MOTORMOUTH.. :D

[joker2107]

You are allowed to use hazard life on a moving vehicle if it's an emergency situation (only briefly - e.g. there is a pile up in front and u were driving too fast, had to do emergency brake).

eerrrr... iml109, its hazard lights, not life :D
running with hazard lights blinking is a hazard to life.

btw, this thread is supposed to deal with issues on highways. i see intra city/town lanes suddenly being upgraded to highway status here. ;)

yawnnn....... time for me to nap.

[besitai2007]

How about the behaviour of moronic drivers who use the emergency lane during traffic jams to cut queues? These are the worst kinds! If you are on the innermost lane when they try to cut it you run the risk of getting into a nasty accident. Picture below shows these drivers being booked by the traffic cops in an operation last Friday 15 Feb 2008. The place is the elevated part of the Federal Highway in front of the Chevrolet Sales and Service Centre along the Federal Highway.http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/besitai/servesemright2.jpg

A police roadblock anywhere, especially on busy roads is going to cost every motorist there to unnecessarily spend more on fuel!. Extremely unfortunate fact of life here!.

Agreed, its not only dangerous and very unethical to user the shoulder...but the bigger question is why, the gomen and local the council is not doing enough to elevate the age old problem here?!

If root cause of the problem is tackled and rules well enforced, we would not be seeing this happening in our daily life!

[firefox]

Its normal that in every class there will be a handful off incorigible students and the same way you find these sort of ppl on the road, there is nothing the police can do about these menance on the road, nothing will stop them from finding a shortcut and breaking fundemental traffic rules.

[bslee]

Whatever it is, I detest and deplore Malaysian police action and road blocks. There's hardly any reference nor basis that its achieving in road safety and deaths (very unlucky actually, perhaps fated!). All I know, we live in a country where people break and flout laws till kingdom come, pay fines like fools and it goes on and on..no change really. Malaysian attitudes..more bad + denials than good actually.

Would it help if the vehicle is impounded for a week if caught with an offence and a summon subsequently issued...and progressively getting heavier till confiscated..? Of course there mustn't be any corruption involve.

[Boink]

On the main topic, I think when you speed, you should not forget that you do not own the road.

I dunno. Mabe some people do not spend enough time speeding. Maybe they have no blardy guage of speed I just dunno.

But that said, flashing is pretty useless when the guy in front of you has no where to go. So flash once, flash twice, if the guy not moving, he aint going to move. Period.

If you are really fast enough, the guy in front of you will move as you appear out of nowhere behind him from the shock. But this does not mean you tail gate the guy infront.

And for goodness sake if your going to speed, pay the damned fine la. Cannot tahan people who speed then slow down without thought about the other guy speeding behind him.

Finally, I know it is irritating, for those people who get pushed off the road, but look at it this way, if the guy wanna go past, let him go past. You were in no rush anyway. Having a chat with your partner? Listening to the radio before he arrived? then just continue doing what you were doing and let him past. Why get all worked up?

Finally, I know this sounds corny, but I blame the lausy marketting, auto engineers bowing to market demand forces and just management driving engineering.

Reasons why cars are such slow asses past 140km/h, unless you drive a 3 liter is because the damned 5th gear/OD on autos are too low ratioed. At such low ratios for fuel consumption, noise reduction, environmental pressure, everytime the car goes past 140km/h its like a snail. And that is why ladies and genltleman we have this problem.

BLAME THE ENGINEERS.

Starnorth.. that was funny.. we have a driver, driving at 140KM/h asking if another driver, driving with flashing hazard lights ~ 180 KM/h is doing something not legal....this is a classic pot calling the kettle black....

[besitai2007]

Just want to share with you two common occurrences during rush hour. The first happens everyday along Jalan Semangat in PJ just as it joins Jalan Utara (between the Primary School and the playground). Picture shows a Waja (No 1) and a taxi (No 2) trying to cut in from the left. The rest of us are already traumatized by the slow traffic light at the junction and the long queue and these two morons take the easy way out by cutting in from the left. Why does it happen - because there are no traffic cops!http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/besitai/Cuttingqueue.jpg
The second case is when so called VIPs use police escort(s) to shove us off the road during peak hour jams. This incident happened at 5.40 pm along the Federal Highway - in front of the Volkswagen showroom. The picture shows a black limousine (I saw the word LIMO on its number plate) passing between cars after a huge tour bus (apparently carrying VIP) led by a single police escot (can't be very VIPs because only one police escort) passes through cars ahead of it. Can so-called VIPs use the police to do such a thing as they are inconveniencing the public? You know what to do on March 8!http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/besitai/Limo.jpg :mad:
