Another experience driving at 10.00 p.m. To 11.00 p.m. From Simpang Pulai to Slim River junction North South Highway


1. The road is two lane and one way.
2. Sunday night, many cars may be to start working on Monday, meeting in KL or going back to see family in the north after pay day. Many lorries too.
3. Many types of drivers; careful drivers, crazy drivers and high skill drivers.
4. Many types of cars too. Lorry, bus, van, mpv, suv, saloon car, truck, 4x4 cars, etc.
5. All are moving at their own speed and style, driving slow at left lane, overtaken at emergency lane, bus overtake lorry, lorry overtake bus, follow close, flashing,.....etc.
6. From Simpang Pulai junction until Slim River junction the cars moving slowly and the left lane faster than right lane. Why? Because bus and lorry overtaking. This caused right lane slow especially when going up slope, bus or lorry still overtaking and push smaller cars slow and caused traffic jam.
7. We need to educate our drivers. The systems alone cannot controlling them and the accidents keep continue. We still need the enforcement.
8. May be we should Learn from Japan and United Kingdom.
