Driving Skills 101: Where’s Your Helmet, Stupid?
(Lawless in Tenang or stupidity on the highest level where kids can ride bikes without any license or helmet? The fatso in the front seems very happy – I wonder how his parents will feel when this fatso is knocked down by a car and his unprotected head cracks open on the hard surface of the road, turning him into a living vegetable for rest of his life?

Driving Skills 101: Queue Jumper’s Unnecessary Provocations
(The “usual” provocations from the queue jumpers at the toll plaza – the traffic moves faster if everyone queues up and wait for their turn. Imagine what happens if one idiot decides to drive between the proper queues and tries to cut in. Before you know it, another line had formed in between the 2 original lines and the traffic comes to a crawl. Image source: Challenging Coaching)

Driving Skills 101: Stopping Stupid Pesky Motorcyclists From Our Roads Part 1
(I hate to see the “kid” in between the parents! I start cursing when I see a baby in between them. You think the kid will be well protected when a car hits them at 100 km/h? Poverty is one thing but stupidity is another. Image source: TV Smith’s Malaysia Truly Malaysia)
Ha, almost killed an old man on a bike this morning…
But it is not the first time that I almost killed someone on the road – on daily basis, I had to content with pesky motorcyclists who don’t give a damn when changing lanes without any indicators or without considering the traffic on the other side of the lane and who think that they are the king of the road when driving on the other side of the lane and who turn violent when we horn them to warn them and ride bikes at night without lights.

Highway 101: Encountering Reckless Livina Drivers
(All whites Livinas on the highway! At first, we thought it was a new way of delivering new vehicles to their customers – some beautifully modified told us it was not but putting themselves and other road users in great danger)

Driving Skills 101: When Dumb Factory Workers Crosses The Road
(Sometimes it is wise to look left and right before crossing the road, more so if a speeding car is heading your way. Image source: https://mikedelgrosso.co.uk/)
There are lifeless zombies that cross the road every morning near my residential area and workplace.
To others, they are known as factory workers – lowly paid, the repetitive task assigned and often “foreign” in nature. At their workplace, they are almost like the bee worker, working on a specific task 6 days a week, 12 months in a year. So, the use of their creativity and intelligence is probably limited to choosing the gravy or the flavour of their drink during their lunch break.
Other times, it would be sufficient if they could just follow the simple factory rules and meet the daily quota.

Between update 2 and 3 of my special car makeover project, there was some small development – the car now has 4 new spring coils and that made a lot of difference to rear load balancing

Driving Skills 101: Constant Parking Paranoia Crisis

Call me paranoid but the last thing I want to do is to park my car somewhere far from the restaurant where I am having my dinner.

Enforcement 101: Entertaining Traffic Offence Criminals
The Government want to give a dim hope to criminals on the road to continue their crime is beyond any reasonable comprehension.
(Traffic offenders are not only a major nuisance on the road but they are also dangerous to others. I don’t see the point of giving leniency towards repeated offenders. Image source: http://www.cartoonstock.com)

Know Your Car Basics 101: Car, Not Bus – Handling Suspensions
(This is how some relatives see my car at certain times – Sometimes I wish I could shout “I am not driving bus lah!”. Image source: SOS SAHEL)
A couple of days ago, my car suspensions took a heavy pounding – all because my mom decided to be very generous.
We were planning to go to the temple – me, my wife, the “big boss”, of course, and my mom. We decided to take my wife’s nimble Viva since it is just nice for the 4 of us (considering the big boss is no longer the small baby that everyone perceives him to be. He needs his space and his MP3s).
