OTW home series 2 - It was an unusual crawl

It was an unusual crawl on the way home today. Awww...mannnn....what now???? please la people...i want to go home, i am so tired. it was a long day and even a longer week. i just wanna go home, rest and sleep. it is hard enough to patiently inch my way with the usual crawl and today, the crawl is getting worse. some drivers were cutting other drivers...the normal scene during traffic jams in KL. the most of these kiasus advanced are just one or two cars ahead of you. so much stress of manouvering the steering and your achievement is just that? why do we become a different person when we are behind the wheels? we become selfish, inconsiderate, evil even...why do the police need to have all those Ops Sikaps during festive holidays? Our drivers are like school children need to be told to behave and to stay in line or else...can we ever change?

Back to the unusual crawl on my way home. I normally take the PLUS KL-Seremban hiway and the crawl started way before the Sg Besi toll. a stretch which normally takes less than 5 minutes, took more than 40 minutes. As we passed the toll booths, the crawl reached its most congested number. the traffic was like having constipation. stuck and hard and bad. 500 meters took another 20 minutes. i finally reached to the cause of the congestion. at the opposite road, i saw a big trailer at the side of the road, a motobike and two bodies on the road, motionless. Both bodies were each covered with white and black plastics body bags. a police patrol car was there with a few police personnels. within that few seconds when passing by the scene, i could see blood was all over the dead bodies. i immediately stop all the curses which i was ready to release. i even feel a little shaky to drive at the fast lane. must admit that i usually take the right lane at this stretch but tonight, i took the left lane. No, i did not take photo. i won't, even if i have the opportunity to do so.

How sorry I am for the families of the victims. i know how it feels to lose loved ones that way. to receive tragic news that you have lost your family in an accident is very excruciating. you could be with them just this morning or this afternoon, and then...there are no longer with you forever. i do hope that the families will be brave to go through the ordeal. to be strong and go on living.

Please be careful on the road dear friends and families. Reminding myself too. when we decide to turn the steering to the left or right, make sure that we have taken all the necessary safety measures. I know that there are evil drivers out there who does not consider the safety of others as long as he gets his way by cutting queues, haphazard his way through traffic. when that happens to you, it is as though you could hear him laughing while shouting at you...LOSER!!!! feel like wanna kick his ass!!! or at least smash his wind screen with a baseball bat!!! (bad huh??)

Please drive carefully...be safe.
