Driving

Every early morning, I have to drive a long journey to reach certain destinations.  I have to go through more than fourteen to fifteen  (14-15) traffic junctions.  At times, I just feel it is a waste of my time to wait.  Sometimes, it will come to one minute and sometimes lesser.

But one day, two cars were challenging along the super highway as I wish to call it.  From the flyover, both cars tried to zoom off in both sides of me.  Am I not fast enough? In fact, I was driving about 90km/hr already.  But may be life seemed too long for them, they both drove faster than I.  So zoomed off, and cornered me in the middle.  It gave me the shivers down my spine!

Then at another traffic junction, I bothered to take a second look on the driver on my left as he was not faster than any.  Still had to hang on, on my left and he was indeed a young "ah diyang" meaning very young guy  in my dialect!

At that moment, I started to think,  no wonder, insurance company gave higher PA premium for those drivers who are younger than 30!

One day at a  stop over junction intending to turn right.  One  motorcyclist to my effect, she was turning right, but no way, suddenly she did an U-turn.  If a driver is driving hastily, I doubt that motorcylist would land under the car at any time!

Now, the code of Traffic.  How many are still observing strictly?  Give ways to cars from the right, etc.  I think those days, so long one can hold on the wheel or handle the m/cycle's handle, one is to drive or ride already!  It really didnt matter what danger is behind that!
