I am in the same situation, dunno want to go or not, no go - I can give higher ang pow, go - time, money and risk of accident, since will be travelling alone.

If China EV at least can depend on some driver assistance and maybe can stay in the car.

4hrs min. Don't ever trust China EV's driver assistance. Be ready to manually take over steering within 2 sec as they can revert from driving assistance anytime. Overwise, you will be another "mobile crematorium" victim.

Alone, it would be better to take a train, 3 hours trip. Easing the process, allowing for relaxation, providing coffee breaks, and decreasing the chance of accidents to a minimum.

A bus takes 5-5.5 hours. And it is already traveling very fast - about 100 kph whenever it can.

You want to drive faster than a bus?

Besides, if you have not been driving hundreds of kilometers daily like a bus driver, but is not new to highways (which means you will find driving boring), in late morning to early afternoon, it will be so hot that you may fall asleep while on the road. Unless you rest every half an hour, which means a 10 hour journey.

depends on a few factors

-weekday or weekend? weekend you can expect extra 1 hour due to road hoggers
-how many stops you plan to take? if you can do it without R&R, that's nice. bring some chocolate bar as lunch
-weather: bad weather also causes extra time to reach
-accident along the way: this also add extra travelling time
-your car condition: must service regularly and no tyre puncture along the way

assuming you are driving around 100km/h on weekend at 9/10AM, it takes about 4 hours to reach JB from KL (toll to toll)

to add on:

KL-MLK: 3-5 lanes, easier to overtake with road hoggers on the overtaking lane
MLK-JB: 2 lanes, this is the challenging part

don't forget about 2-3 AES (not too sure) along the way

Which part of Johor?
and which part of KL?

Usually it's 3.5 hours without jam
If there is small jam due to peak hours then it's about 4 hours
But if it's festival jam then add on 1.5-2 hours

from seremban is 3.5 to 4 hours

for people saying from KL to JB 3 hours , are you guys speeding?

for example usually if i got to iskandar puteri and start from seremban around 5.30/6 i will reach iskandar puteri around 9.30/10 +- with 1 pitstop..

If direct from seremban to johor without pitstop fastest also i think around 3 hours 30 mins +- taking into account jam etc

if from kl i think its reasonable for 4.5 hours +- if u follow speed limit and also take into account some parts jam

please be aware that AES is now calculating your total journey speed jugak (starting from 1st june) so maybe budget a longer time compared to the conservative 3 hours / 3hours 30 minits from kl.

Maybe they only count toll to toll. Even regular KL-SG hired driver say 4 hours is average.

Or ktards never follow speed limit.

3 hours 30 minutes if you drive nonstop. Any faster than that means you drive over the speed limit already.

Puchong to Setia tropika area, i count house to house time

No traffic, 2hour 30minutes
Normal traffic 3 hours
Moderate traffic 3 hours 30 minutes (i consider this jam)

And yes, i speed 120 - 160
I tried 110..almost fell asleep and its even more tiring as i need to change lane often due to left lane drive slow as fuck and right lane will have speeder then i have to cut back in

Normally will take 3 Hours 30 Mins. Factor in 4 hours and should be safe.

If want kopi depends where the wedding held. Go nearby the wedding venue.

When I was young, less than 4hours
If with awek or amoi, 3hours reach hotel, still got many energy left can go getting.

Now old unker already, 7 hours.

A few times for toilet, sleep, driving slow, makan, sometimes, sleep again, and seriously, dare not drive far alone anymore. After half hour driving eyes want to close already.

Take flight better even if spend more on grab for safety sake.

Dangerous or not. The 2 way go and back highway prone to accident, all cars there cucuk rapat2 at right lane. infront can't see suddenly got emergency brake then gg... Normally go down south 3 lane highway then suddenly near Yong Peng (correct me if i'm wrong) suddenly change to 2 lane. so all cars become slow.. need to be careful there
