Worst Driver's Habits?

[gunnerzz]

Worse, you call they don't pick up or needs several attempts before answered! Then wait don't know how many minutes before they show up! Very egotistical dumb ass people like this and unfortunately it becomes almost like a custom here in Malaysia! Sigh...

Text while driving is the worse coz the most dangerous. Another similar one is taking photos at speedo to show off top speeds! They think it's cool and macho but it's actually stupid and highly irresponsible.

Some other bad habits:
- Double/triple parking, very annoying habit everywhere!
- Busy body slowing down a lot to look at accidents causing more unnecessary traffic jams. I always honk these people kaw kaw!
- Cornering not maintaining their lane, either cutting inside the apex on entry or going out wide on exit, like the road is a track, while not checking surrounding properly! Just total dumb ass driving!
- Too slow reactions on traffic lights, like the road belongs to their mothers and just taking their own sweet time to move, often also because looking at phones. Sorry to say too many Malaysians are guilty of this, very annoying.
- U-turn wide to the other lane and not maximising the steering lock, just lazy slow hands!
- Tail gating to ask for a way thru even at high speeds, just reckless and stupid. High beams and horns are there for a reason, use them please!
- Motorbikes squeezing and hitting side mirrors, very careless.
- Motorbikes going thru redlights or going opposite directions, again just reckless and irresponsible.
- Parking at OKU spots, I hope karma hit them!

The problem with some (if not most) riders is they couldn't do lane splitting/filtering properly. Squeezing between vehicles at above 50km/h is reckless. Plus some riders that are noob at lane splitting just squeeze through cars without regards to lane width, traffic levels & gaps. They're in someone else's blindspot, if some idiot suddenly change lane without signal (another problem), bang, double whammy. Trouble for both car & bike. If the traffic is too tightly packed to lane split/filter through, I'd just ride slowly/stop behind a car. But some car drivers can't drive/stop on the middle of the lane which forces riders to cilok at other lane. Sometimes the blame goes both ways.

Running redlights & going opposite directions on bikes are only acceptable at rural areas with low traffic level (sometimes I'm guilty of this). I don't have the guts to do that at urban areas.

At traffic lights the only thing I could do is gently rev to 2,000 rpm (using phone is too distracting & time consuming for me, even when the traffic level is low & driving at low speed). When the light turns green, release the clutch (brake if in an auto, never bothered to put it in neutral) & accelerate, but only if you're on front row & the road ahead is clear. If stuck behind a car, wait few seconds until the car at the front pulls ahead until you can release the clutch & accelerate safely.

no turn signal and last min change of lane/turn

Even worse when I'm on motorbike. Last year some idiot nearly hit me after cutting from far right to an entry right in front of me. Also experienced the other way round.

Dei I'm lucky to hit the brakes earlier. Learn to use the brakes (& signal) la.

Naah I saw people double park everywhere like nobody's business no matter what cars they're blocking.

Yup, still happening at many places. They just want the easy way out, don't want to park far away for their own convenience......
