From The Eyes of An Observer

Road hogs: they are the menace of the streets. Here are some of the horrors that I have heard, seen and experienced so far.

1) You made a small mistake and almost crashed into their car (but you didn’t) and they will try their best to smash your car up with theirs. This was a horror experienced my friend’s buddy (who is a girl) who was driving alone. The incident happened on a highway. It ended up in a car chase until she has to pull out from the highway. Luckily nothing happened to her.

2) All the cars are lining up at the traffic light to into another road. This incident happened on a highway ramp which only has two lanes: one turning to the left and one with the traffic light turning to the right. As civilized road users were queuing up, one imbecile road hog cut the queue (10 cars) by lining at the front of the road to cut in when the traffic light is green. Hence, blocking the car users who wants to turn left. An incident occurred whereby a car doesn’t want to let the road hog cut his queue. It ended up with the road hog honking loudly a few times with the car in front.

3) I was travelling at about 90km/hour on a bike on the MRR2 highway when a van travelling at about 110km/hour suddenly appear out of the lane furthest to the right (third lane) and swerved into an exit to Pandan Jaya. I have to jammed my breaks and the motorbike skidded and the engine stalled. Luckily there was no car hitting me from behind as I was unable to move the bike as the engine was stalled. Otherwise, I will not be here anymore today.

4) Of course, the classic one: tail gating. If your car want to smell the butt of my car, please do it when it’s traffic jam. Not when the road is smooth especially you can move to the right lane.

Somehow, I noticed that there are something common among the road hogs. They have big brawns but small brains. Seriously! You use your might behind the wheel and act tough but when thinking about all the stupid things that you do, it is so darn stupid. A message to road hogs: Use less brawn and more brains. You will live longer that way, idiots!
