haha! agreed!
my brake overheat ady when i was downhill, before reaching the post before the roundabout at goh tong.
when i realized it, i have to downshift to gear 2, to gear 1 just to get the stall, and shift it back to gear 2, keep pressing the brakes, eventhough the grip is not totally lost, it keeps going, after the sharp S corner reaching the guard post, i pull the handbrake, wait till the bump slows us down, and i managed to stop on the left side road. wait till half an hour, test for few metres, and drive slowly. really sked during that time.

since then, i always go for mid-end, not cheap, nor inexpensive brake pad. keep my disc skimmed if bengkok.

You know it is not your brake problem? But your skill problem.

Since when got seatbelt geh??

R.I.P

Which bus u take dont have seatbelt? So lauya one?

The left lane drivers will curse those in the middle lane because they do not know which cars are actually switching lane. Can also be very dangerous because cars intending to join a main road will be confused by the signals. When they realize the latter are intending to go straight, it may be too late.

GRAPHIC

tell me about it sport!

I took this bus a few times to go up and down from genting, like rapid kl bus, full with a lot of aunty and uncles who gambles. They even pick up passengers on the way up and down. The fare was only RM7-8, and they have busses every 15 min, very convienient. Some may even stand for the whole journey!! I rmb once the bus driver drove so fast going up, he bang the divider, so everyone was awake and he went down the bus, see see nothin then continue go back and drive. Going down is horrible, I rather listen music and sleep RIP !!

True also what you say but I'm sure it better than all 3 lanes having all cars flashing their double signals causing major confusion with all drivers not knowing who is changing lane, who is overtaking, who is emergency braking and who is stopped! Remember double signal or hazard lights are only for emergency braking and stop vehicles in the emergency lane. Also this only happens when its really raining heavily with low visibility since Malaysia don't have fog (except of Genting and Cameron Highlands), if its haze then don't think you guys will be outside driving if visibility is so bad till have to put signal.

rm5.90

it refers to max passengers. if 43 penumpang (15 berdiri), it denotes 28 sitting passengers and 15 standing passengers. in a bus like that, we have about 2 x 7 x 2 (2 seater, 7 rows, 2 lines). so total up is 28 seats. try counting the rows one one side from the picture below:



7 rows no? 4 rows at front, and 3 rows at the back after the door.

then, the higher wall idea is ok, but it is impractical if thin. the wall must be thick also, very very thick, if not it could not withstand a 90km/h bus impact and help stopping it from falling into ravine. to educate drivers is more important...but during test a driver can behave, it is their attitude during driving that makes difference.


try driving following the rules & guidelines rather than common practices.

I once drive car and give signal to turn into right (my right) at T junction. there's an Alphard giving right (hist right) signal far away coming from front slowly (he is going straight actually), so I just turn right because right signal means he is turning right. that stupid fella dare honking me while I'm in middle of turning right, when he is the one giving the wrong signal. If he is going straight, don't give the damn right signal!! it is farking confusing. got it? these kind of misuse could lead to accidents and possibly fatal.

my advise, drives following the rules set by local authority rather than driving by logic and common practices. Then, what others replied to you regarding hazzard light is right. It is for stationary vehicles (in emergency or problems). There's reason why it is set for stationary use only.

Left signal for tuning left (and changing lane and overtaking) and right signal for turning right (and changing lane and overtaking). also could be used while driving slowly when said vehicle light are not ok, front or back or both, depending on which lane you in, just to inform others you are there, but better use left lane and left signal and try not overtake. lastly, kindly follow the guidelines set by local authority.

Thanks for the correction

I do agree at the end, it is mostly on driver's.

it's a pity news.. R.I.P

yup, watching the video, we can clearly see skid marks...which could means, the driver drives too very fast (or simply brake not ok). But, in case break not ok, if he is an experienced driver, he should know to release accelerator paddle and change to lower gear. The rest is his skills to maintain bus (maybe he can brushes along wall to help slowing bus down). A scratched bus is much much better than having bus jump into ravine.
