I realise it’s frustrating driving these days. Anyway, your suggestion that the police do better appears a good idea though.

My car has been bumped, crashed, dented, and scratched…and to this day, not one motorcyclist has been responsible nor have they been summoned on any of the reports I have made. I find this extremely frustrating. Everyday I see motorcyclist squeezing in between cars at high speeds, even with cars are slowed down due to traffic. It is especially during these times that motorcyclist weave in and out of traffic and make the road conditions more hazardous. So many times already has a motorcyclist scratched my car as they are weaving in between cars, and when I honk to let them know, all they do is turn around and give me the middle finger, like it was my fault, THEY scratched my car. I don’t understand the lack of patience that motorcyclist have. Even when at a light they have to squeeze in between cars and get to the front…why? Its traffic and EVERYONE is sharing the road, it doesn’t belong to just them.

The worst part is that the driving culture has already accepted it and caters to them. I pay toll on the highways…why don’t the motorcyclist? They don’t pay toll, they are reckless, inconsiderate, lack of driving ettiquette, and they assume NO responsibility. I really struggle with that. And I agree on one more point…the blame isn’t soley on the motorcyclist, I blame the police. The police doesn’t enforce many of the driving laws in this country, and thats a shame. Many times I have felt that there are not really any driving laws, more like unenforced guidelines.

The police are to set an example, protect, and enforce the laws which have been established to protect the people. Many times they also are the ones breaking the laws, they also weave in and out of traffic and squeeze in between cars, they are setting the example, and what a poor and shameful one it is. I challenge the police to do their job, to enforce and call to action their responsibilities. I have seen that on television that on Merdeka Day there are a few roadblocks that try to capture motorcyclist with suspended licences or road tags, which is great. However its done only two days out of the year….really?

Why only two days…should be done EVERYDAY. Mediocre police, lack of proper driving education, lack or driver responsibility and road safety and ettiquette are just some of the things I and thousand other drivers face everyday. When is Malaysia going to raise its low standards and take responsibility on the road? I have struggled with this issue for a while now and I know many others as well. Changes must be made to ensure safety of the drivers. People need to realize the importance of this matter. Too many lives are lost each day, week, and year due to these issues, when is enough enough?

Many times by the time one gets to work they are so frustrated and full of road rage due to inconsiderate and reckless drivers, and well as by the time people get home….this could easily be solved if the police did their job and if drivers took responsibility with humility and proper road ettiquette. Can we sue the police department for not doing their job? Afterall we pay taxes, where is that money being spent? Anyways, I could go on and on. But I agree that there are many safety issues that a would class country with its world class facilities is still with a third class mentality.

Education, education, and education is needed. Ok ok, I stop here. :)

In my opinion, police reports made cannot be withdrawn. The summons remains.
