The Slowpacers

I went for a drive from home to town. I thought there was something unusual if there happens to be a jam in the middle of the road. But truth? There was nothing but slowpacers.

I know I shouldn't do this, but this was taken when I was on the Federal Highway. If you look at the picture above, there is a massive gap in the middle of two vehicles and the one behind is going very slow. But the driver was actually a female one.

Should the vehicle moves a little faster, a person driving on the road can save time of up to 10 minutes average in a distance of two destinations that is 20kms. If we look at the collective view of this, it will encourage more people to have more time to do sort on their priorities and perhaps do more to their work. However, the sad fact is that most drivers are ignorant and tend to procrastinate - even if on the road but somewhere else including last minute submission of returns of taxes to the Inland Revenue Board.



Perhaps a few more cars can fill in the spaces if those cars fill in the gaps in front by moving faster. A side note is that most of K.L and Selangor drivers that I've come across do not put signals if they are to turn to a corner or a junction. This can be very dangerous for vehicles following behind. I don't know whether if it is because they are lazy or not but they are ought to be SHOT.

Another reason is that traffic jams occurred is perhaps due to an accident. In most cases, cars would tend to slow down, surveying the jam and perhaps caused a lot of trouble to the other drivers behind. This kind of practice should be minimized. Busy-bodies.

NIAMAH!!!!
