[Life of an Ex-Teen] %&!$@ drivers

[WahMing]

Half the drivers on the road (in Penang at least) aren't fit to drive a kiddie car. The authorities may wonder how to handle the increasing amounts of traffic on the roads. Here's a solution - revoke the licenses of the more awful drivers on the road. You know, the drivers who

• take up two lanes at one time.
• slow to a total stop before every turn.
• drive at 25 km/h in the fast lane, beside somebody going at 20 km/h in the slow lane
• decide that single-lane/way two-way roads are where they should park by the roadside and reduce it to single-lane/road two-way roads.
• are confronted by a space 25% wider than their vehicle, and stop there because they apparently have zero depth perception
• and lots more, but let's stop this rant here.

Seriously, there should be a law against these people. Disrupting traffic, or something along that line. If you have that much time to waste puttering around the roads, people, take the damn bus.

Speaking of buses. There was a newspaper article recently about some new bus company planning to start operating in Penang, with over 150 buses to serve all areas. There were complaints from local bus operators that it would severely affect their business. All I can say is - big deal. You people have been screwing up for as long as I can remember. Explain why exactly we should be concerned by your business being affected? You don't deserve our sympathy or concern. With your terrible business practices, the only reason you're still around is the lack of transportation choices for many people.
