yeah, kl has very bad traffic. i often drive to kl from ipoh then park in klcc and take taxi to the places i want to go. no point straining myself on the driving and taxi is so cheap there. proton is the most common cars in malaysia for sure. there this smaller car call kancil and kenari. these are malay words which i don't understand.  accord is common among the chinese in ipoh. i seldom see malays driving accord though. but i do see some malays driving mercedes benz. not sure if they are chauffeur though. |

ok what i am saying here is not to pick a fight or have a thing with people from victoria. i am just surprised to experience these same incidents in 2 of my visits to melbourne.
the thing that pissed me off is driving in melbourne. for us queenslander where there is no tram system in the city, i find it a little hard to drive in melbourne city. the road system is a bit different and turning right is so weird.
you got to move to the end of the far end lane, then make a kind of 90 degree turn. the main problem is i dunno when to do such turn if i am the first car in the traffic. but then the problem is sometimes there are some right turns where you do not need to make the 90 degree turn!! omg! what's going on??
and these melbourne drivers just horned me as if i am a crazy dog driving the car. i understand that they expect me to know the rules since the rented car is a victoria state registered car. so probably they think that i am a local there and should know the rules.
but in many occasions, there are cars coming in from nsw or qld and these melbourne drivers just don't give a damn.
give us a break! i usually just horned back at them. i mean what's their problem??
;D ;D
