And when I say kiasu, I'm not referring to any specific race.

Is it just me, or is the Federal Highway simply being used by bungling idiots who do not know how to drive?

Take today, for instance. The traffic was slow from Shah Alam up to the toll booth bordering Subang Jaya.

Why?

Because some nutjob decided that he'd rather drive slow in the right most lane. Genius. Pure genius.

And a kilometer before reaching the toll, it turns out that he doesn't have a Touch n Go card or a Smart Tag.

Didn't I tell you this guy's a genius?

As if that wasn't enough to get you to smack your forehead and your blood pressure to rise to it's optimum levels, there's traffic congestion waiting on the other side.

Oh, happy days....

But it's to be expected I guess when you shove 9 lanes of toll paying cars into 3 lanes of traffic.

Oh wait, I forgot the emergency lane, which everyone so conveniently uses whenever they feel like it or they're in a rush.

Even while merging lanes it seems Malaysians can't give way. Nope, they'd rather bang their car than let one fellow in front of them, which actually happened on two instances from the toll to the Subang Jaya exit.

What is it about Malaysians that they just can't give way or even merge into one lane for the greater good?

And what is it about them that they can't even be polite enough to signal when they wish to change lanes?

And why would you use the lane specific to exit the highway if you're going straight ahead?

One has to wonder whether Malaysian drivers are plain arrogant, or plain stupid.

Or perhaps both. Who knows.
