Complain, complain...arrr

Victims of Circumstances

There are numerous fines which are meted out against offenders like speeding and not paying parking fees. Ok, maybe not paying your parking fees is not harming anyone. But speeding? Those people should be jailed after a certain amount of fines. Come to think of it, those who can speed are those who can afford to pay the fines. Moreover, I haven't heard of their licences getting revoked. What happened to the so-called point system by JPJ? Speeding should be classified as 15kph above speed limit. 10kph above the limit is a little tight for overtaking slow cars. Ah, talking about slow vehicles. They put others in danger also. They don't seem to care about their surrounding. They don't look lost and certainly they are not pressing on the gas enough. Ironically 50% of these vehicles are the ones with exhaust pipes big enough for a python to crawl in. Big sound but minute power. Show offs. Motorcyclists? We respect their presence on the road. And the rule of thumb is to treat them as a car. But sometimes, they crawl slower than a heavy laden lorry on a straight stretch! Worse still, they are in the middle of the lane and sometimes to the right of the slower lane. How do they expect us to overtake them without grazing them? And when we do, it's always our fault...
