When I see the lane on my side going zoom, I try to catch the zoom by switching lanes and instead, the cars slow down to a stop. The previous lane I was on was zooming instead...argh! My take on traffic in KL: there are just too many cars. The roads were not designed for such a volume of traffic. Don't forget the queue jumpers and road hoggers (i.e. doing 60 on the right most lane on the NKVE...) Many bottle neck sections along major roads. Crappy traffic policemen that can't seem to direct traffic properly. Oh let's not forget crappy LRT/Kommuter service and public road transportation. Don't forget about the 4.4b MYR the government saved from our fuel subsidies and the pledge they made to improve the traffic infrastructure. ;-) Sooyin, sometimes I get that too!
