Saman maseh fresh panas. Klu saman belum key-in dalam sistem. Sat saman bley delete lagi,
Lolwhut! More cars on the road nowadays is reflected on the bumper to bumper crawl out from Klang Valley all the way back to hometown and vice versa on the way back. How to make any offense much less kena saman like that? DUH!
Many offense kena saman becoz,

cutting queue
failure to wear seat belt
hogging the right-most lane
driving in the E lane .
‘Potong lane kanan but not see behind oncoming traffic, eventhough giving out signals’ <–this one WIN tak pernah kena saman, accuse behind car langgar belakang..
There is a 19.52% drop. This is good news.
This mean the New Government is doing a good job.
They are interested in our safety, so, rakyat also abide by the laws
Reduction meant police is not doing their jobs. How is that being interested in our safety hah?!
really meh? i observed the opposite. i live near Penaga, seberan perai utara, but work near Jawi, seberang perai selatan. i take the BORR and PLUS everyday.
last CNY, almost all out of towners (assumption based on plate no.) drive like the highway mak-bapak punya. lagi besar kereta, lagi eksyen- as if speed limit signpost is just perhiasan jalan, as if tail gaiting and bullying other cars to the left lane are good driving habits from advanced countries their cars came from…
i thot hi income earners were suppose to be the edcucated ones, prolly seen and lived in the outside world, but sadly still stuck in mental ghetto/estate/bukit/kampung….
makin besar/mahal kereta, makin bodoh jadinya..
