Road Culture

What's up with the friggin' psychology of drivers in Malaysia. I mean wherever you go people keep changing lanes without freakin' using the bloody signal! I've experienced this for quite a while now but its just damn bloody annoying. Someone told me that this whole thing is a reverse psychology for those drivers whom when you do give a signal, they would step the pedal to the metal...ok ok...maybe thats a tad over-exaggerating but they do accelerate and stop you from changing lanes. Anyway, back to the first point. Whats really annoying about people not giving signals is when they change lanes suddenly and there is not much room between you and the front car which results in you having to break like crazy. Jeez, are we that much in a hurry that we forget common courtesy? Heck, didn't we even learn that (using signals when changing lanes) when we were taking our driving exams? C'mon people, I don't think its too much of an effort to flick your finger and hit the signal indicator knob. Else you would be on the receiving end of the middle finger...or worst yet, you might lose your rear bumper!
