it is the norm in Malaysia. don't get confused, I am not talking major accident. I'm talking emergency lane, car behind hit car in-front kind of accident.
IN THE EMERGENCY LANE.
well, this is the Federal Highway in Shah Alam i think. but i'm not talking this side of the road, I'm talking the opposite side. this road here leads to Icity, Klang etc, may have 3 lanes, the other side, leads to Kuala Lumpur, well, has 4 lanes, including the ONE emergency lane.
see, minor accidents almost always happened in the emergency lane. or, maybe because it is so minor that the wrecked car can be moved to the sides.
AND YET!
some of this minor accidents, are the cause for some MAJOR traffic congestion on the other friggin four lanes.
Funny isn't it? how a small accident on the emergency lane can cause the other four lanes to stop moving as well?
well, NOT to Malaysians. Malaysians are very, I repeat, VERY concern about people whenever there's accidents. they love to stop or slow down their cars to check out whatever that is going on, on the road. they are so concern that they would even cause the whole road to be congested with cars to some few miles behind, not knowing what is going on upfront, or why the traffic is so bad.
Like this one picture i simply steal from someone's else's blog. it's completely understandable that the congestion is bad due to the fact that the police directed the whole three lanes to merge into only one, this one is utterly acceptable. (well, this accident is too bad to even compare)
but can you see that on the other side of the road, people are queuing to see what's going on, on THIS side of the road as well?
i thank the concern Malaysians.
but really. this has really got to stop. yeah you're concern and all, but admit it, you won't stop and help anyway, so why don't you excuse your big fat bum, and move on with your life.
DO NOT SLOW DOWN, alright? yeah i understand your sympathy but it's causing trouble to everybody else who doesn't give a damn to slow other cars down to butt in others' businesses.
please. think about other people as well, you wanna be a nosy person, with all due respect please do so, but do help yourself and others by keeping your nosiness to yourself. by that, i mean do not slow down your car to see if the car is wrecked, or the mirrors broke a thousand pieces, or somebody died or not, because this act of yours is causing trouble to other people.
and maybe not today, but some other days when you really need to hurry and other people are slowing down their cars to see an accident on the other side of the road, you would probably understand the irk that some people faced.
not so gelak-gelak everyday.
