Driving in Kuala Lumpur

Something inexplicable is happening on the highways in Kuala Lumpur. We seem to have moved from driving on the left side to the right side and now to the middle lane ... if there is such a rule. Lol.

What I am trying to say is that in Kuala Lumpur, the law says that the slow drives on the left lane and the fast on the right lane. However, since a few years ago, people started to drive slow on the left lane and the right lane. And now, the center lane too.

I have observed cars being driven at the same speed (about 60km an hour) on all 3 lanes while the speed limit is 90km an hour. The cars hogging the fast lane fail to realise that their act of selfishness is a possible cause of accident which may happen when other cars try to overtake them while avoiding the slower cars on the left and center lane. In fact, one such accident almost happened if not for the successful sudden braking and pick-up by the faster car.

It was once repeated to me that the attitude is "I paid the road tax too so I can drive where I want to" - yes, folks, another case of 'courtesy out the window'. Maybe there is a reason why the car is driving at a fast speed...?

Well... that does not explain the accident that almost happened (again, avoided because of the fast reaction of the faster car) when cars had to brake because someone decided to cross the highway.... yes..only onKuala Lumpur highways - people cross the highway to get to the other side. Why did the chicken cross the road??
