The Danger In Front


How many times have you come across this in broad daylight; see picture? This lorry is carrying a mountain load of scrap metals, over the permitted height of its body and tilting dangerously, obviously overloaded.

It makes you want to stop such vehicles and give the drivers a tight slap on the face to remind them of the dangerous act they have committed. Where are the police? If they have really been caught and summoned umpteen times, why are they still on the roads, everywhere? Just driving around Prai you will spot them.

Meaning to say they have got away with it and blatantly breaking the law under the nose of the police and JPJ. Sounds fishy? Perhaps the lorry owners have "settled" in advance with them! But believe me, try your luck driving with an expired roadtax or talking on the handphone without a hands-free kit, they will spot you easily. Meaning to say, they are not "blind". Needless to say more, inefficiency and irregularities are all there to be seen.

What would you do the next time you spotted such vehicles? Overtake them as fast as you can, bet ya!
