U wanna see typical MY drivers, come to Federal Highway during peak hours from Armada Hotel to Midvalley stretch.

1. Cut ques
2. Switching lane w/o on indicators lights
3. Use emergency lane
4. Talking on h/p
5. Motorbikes zig zag on main road eventhough they have designated road 4 them
6. Buses n lorries squeezing into fast lane n slow everyone down

+2 They are the Kings ..

I'm from Penang and we used to say the kings were KL drivers. Now my friends from KL all tell me that Penangites drivers are the king... i don't understand lah... haha.. somebody could tell me why?

I think it almost doesn't matter these days who are the 'worse' drivers. Once Penang and KL start to show off who's the 'raja jalan raya' both will start doing more stupid things on the road.

Haha, I'm from KL and i drove to penang many times. I can tell you again and again that Penang drivers are King and Champion. They are Juan Pablo Montoya of Penang. Skilled, brave, aggressive and above all, their father is the majority shareholder of the public road (or so it seem)

Most penang fellahs don't obey traffic rules. They just shoot out of junctions without looking (this is proven too many times) and funnily, they have problem keeping to their lanes as if changing lanes can help save 2 hours of their journey time. If you notice, whenever there is small space in the other lane, Penang drivers will change lanes. LOL...take some time and notice. Then come to KL and see the difference.

Btw, at the end of the day, we do have Montoyas in KL too, maybe because KL is bigger, u don't see them frequently

they think the road is built and owned by Mr.Mohammad bin Ahmad.

TS should post something how malaysian driver to behave themself like start allowing those with turning indicator lights on car to pass through, when driver are slow driving please move to slow lane rather then making the traffic getting more worst bla bla bla~

I am from penang too, like you guys said they are kings but what to do?? I am just so used to it aredy and dont give a F*** anymore... always predict the car will cut into your lane without signal light, always predict that the car at the junction will come out without looking, always predict the worst to happen then you will be save...

A sound advice. I do that all the time. Just be extra careful is the key. When traveling around areas with loads of junction, make sure to drive slowly.

crap. i hate both cars and bikes. when im driving a car, those stupid inconsiderate slow bike(<60km/h) moving at the fast lane. or those expensive car and modified car which always speed above 140km/h will horn you even if you are moving at the correct speed of 80-90km/h(not north-south highway). or those ******* at the LDP from sunway to KL junction where those idiots will always come out without signal and its illegal to come out since its straight doted line.

when im riding a bike, hate those mat rempit people zig-zag in heavy traffic jam where i always near miss them on the tail. at heavy traffic jam or normal days, those stupid drivers love to turn out without even looking on the side or show thier indicator light. there are so many inconsiderate driver in malaysia and yet they get their license under table.

is there anything we can do to change these drivers? almost everyday scold the f word cos of these idiots...

thats the fun part of driving in msia wat...we get to curse those reckless drivers...

Its all because of the road systems and the poor public transport system. The jammed/congested roads are the primary cause of it all.

Firstly, these road situations lead to time wasting, annoyance and irritation. You're tired and exhausted from work and still have to deal with this stuck-in-traffic situation while your wife/parents are ringing up saying "OI RICE COLD ALREADY LA NOOB".

So, people start cutting cues, using the emergency lane, beating traffic lights, cutting into the exit at the last minute, illegal park to save time, etc.

Lack of proper public transport makes people buy more automobiles. There is virtually no train system in Malaysia. The bloody monorail only has 2 carriages? Wtf. The KTM CONSISTENTLY cancels trains and the next one arrives in 45 minutes to 1.5 hours? Wtf. The busses aren't busses but big black shit boxes on equally big and black wheels that puff out big black lung cancer agents. Wtf.

After coming back from Australia, I got a culture shock seeing the traffic here man.

In Oz, before you even step onto the zebra crossing even if you're 5 metres away, the cars WILL MOST DEFINITELY stop 2 or 3 metres before the zebra crossing. Wait for you to cross the ENTIRE zebra crossing, and then only start moving. And they drive off slowly, not accelerate off like a madman that just got out of prison.

Trains and trams that arrive any more than 2-3 minutes late will be cursed. Recently, Connex (train and tram system operator in Melbourne) was replaced due to its constantly being late (about 5 minutes). Btw, there's a time board that states how long the next bus/train/tram is coming, usually in very short intervals, and is very very accurate.

I was like Wtf. I was so happy with their service but the locals deem 5 minutes late is like a sin. Lol? In malaysia, if the bus/ktm comes within 30 minutes I'm farking happy already.

Looks like I went off-topic a little >_> but anyway, yeah.

I love our drivers. It makes driving more challenging and exciting.

my bf says in Singapore you'll feel safe everywhere you go.. come over to JB (Malaysia) you'll feel the fear .. You park your car there have to think twice whether will you get to see your car again.. What's frightening is that Malaysian police are one of the worst people in Malaysia

i dont see anyone mention about kuantan yet....

it must be good there..

wait..i lives there...

Penang champion of junction.
KL/selangor champion of no signal
Perak champion of zigzag or road hog.
Johor champion of tail gate or road hog.
Taxi champion of sudden stop.


p/s: Generally, Malaysian champion of cut queues & emergency lane users. Everyone is champion. LOL.

Penang road is hard to drive due to too many motorcycle.

I drove in kl for 3years before, and before that and now is driving at Penang more often.

I find that kl drivers are actually more educated. However, the worst drivers are from Ipoh, and many axxhole driver who simply zig zag , cut in queue, absolutely won't let you in are those car with number plate start of A

In the order of worst to less worse:
A, J, P, W, B, ...
