Highway Traffic

This picture was taken on Feb 12, 2010, when I was on my way back to hometown for Chinese New Year celebration. The traffic was slow on this stretch of the highway. The reason: there were police officers 5km ahead.

Malaysian drivers are flexible. They like to speed at 130 or 140kph on the highway. But they are ready to slow down to 50kph when they spot officers in uniform. That is, even though the speed limit is 110kph!

  2. 50kph would be too slow. I would still drive up to the limit if possible!

  3. Ahah, sound like French people! They like to behave like kids, they need the police to actually follow the rules. Canadians are more "by the book".

  4. So the slow traffic is caused not by motorists but by police? I would be pissed off! : )

    I would also drive up to speed limit, provided that the other cars are not blocking.

    I would blame it on the motorists. The speed limit is 110kph. Why crawl?

  11. I'm proud of our North-South highway, so clean, so scenic, so wide.

    I don't drive, so there's no way I will run foul of the law.
