Despite many reminders and crackdowns on emergency lane usage by the authorities, it appears Malaysian motorists are a stubborn lot. A video posted by Facebook user Safwan Anaqi shows exactly why usage of the emergency lane is for, well, emergencies.
The video shows an ambulance heading down the emergency lane on the two-lane road leading from Putrajaya heading towards Dengkil, Selangor. Both lanes are clogged with traffic queueing up for the four-way intersection some distance ahead, requiring the ambulance to use the emergency lane, as is necessary.
However, some impatient drivers wanting to get ahead of the line of cars are in the way, and unable to cut back into the proper lane in order to let the ambulance pass. This is a clear illustration why road rules need to be followed and the emergency lane is to be kept clear at all times.
Just because the emergency lane is empty, does not mean it will not be required at any time. That is why things are reserved for emergency use, they are there until needed.
This is a gentle reminder that all of us need to adhere to road rules and be considerate drivers. Don’t block the way of emergency vehicles, the life you save could be of a loved one.
