That's IT ! I am fed up with Penang traffics and their dangerous style of driving !
Obviously, this does not apply to all Penang - lang , but many of them committed at least 1 or more offences ....
(1) Why MPV when you drive alone ?
Plus, I found out it is either Penang people are too rich to buy it, or feel the petroleum is very cheap or
got a team of football kids, either wise, why they drive freaking MPV when there is only one people
driving in the car.
(Kudos to people who ride to Penang Free Ride to factory Areas a.k.a Rapid Park n Ride which are
totally for FREE , 5 working days a week*)
*Except on public holidays
(2) People do not respect the traffic lights
General rules:
(1) Green means go
(2) Yellow means ready to stop
(3) Red means stop
Penang general rules:
(1) Green means go
(2) Yellow means press oil
(3) 2 seconds after red, press oil faster
(4) Red, weave into opp incoming traffic if opportunities arises
Note: There is certain junction/roundabout in Penang where the car will start honk you like crazy if the
red light is 3-2 seconds to green lights. Madness, I says ...
(3) My grandfather road syndrome
Simply said, the this-is-my-grandfather-road attitude is prominent in Penang such as ...
(a) A big car driving on the motorcyclist lane just to cut thru the queue
(b) Motorcycle or even sometimes Kancil can drive opposite of traffic flows (extreme side of the road)
(c) One big MPV "double lane" the already narrow road making congestion worst
(d) Want to turn right but keep on the left of the road and then suddenly swerve to the right when about
to reach intersections
(e) Worst offender of all, suddenly opening the car door when parked at the side of the road without
giving a f*** to the incoming cars/motors from behind
(4) Road sign , what is a road sign ?
This is a picture taken in Campbell Street in Penang appox 1 year ago ...
Do you see the road sign on the right ?
If you do, congrats !
If you want to know what the signs means ( in case you forget that during driving lessons, head on here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Singapore#Prohibitionary_signs )
According to Wiki , " It says no stopping at the road sign where this sign is displayed. "
Singapore road sign is same as Malaysia, so don't say that we use different road signs.
Due to this inconsiderate people parking on roadside for free instead of parking in designated car park for fee, many Penang roads which are usually 2 lanes become 1 lane only due to inconsiderate parking.
(5) Honk, if you are Penang-ites !
If you are turning in round-about and you drive slowly to avoid overturned , people will honk .
If it is raining, and you drive ~30 - 40km/h , people will honk
If the red light is about to turn green in 2-3 secs, people will honk
If you stop in front of zebra crossing to let some school kids cross the road, people will honk
=_= Ughh... There is many more but I am just lazy to talk about it
