Carnage on the road ..

While not about my 350Z, I feel I have to write about the number of deaths recorded during the 2 weeks of Ops Sikap conducted by the Police from 13th to 26th September 2009 during which 261 people died as a result of accidents, most of whom were motorcyclists and their pillion riders. This is not really surprising since this group of road users habitually run against the traffic lights at any junction in the country. Since the OPs Sikap started some years ago, the figure was the second highest.
The authorities are at their wit's ends as to why Malaysians are prone to accidents. The roads are good - maybe too good - that drivers and motorcyclists enjoy driving at high speeds. I can cite so many reasons as to why the figures don't seem to go down. But it's pointless because Malaysian drivers are emotional, and have attitude problems. They should emulate how the British people drive cars.
