The roads were crowded and wet today and due to the traffic jams, full of impatient drivers. As I sat in my car, not moving, waiting for my turn to inch forward, a huge bus came bearing down my right, close to my car.
There were 2 things I could do.
Insist I was in the right and cut off the bus. Or I could give way and wait for the impatient bus driver to cut across 2 lanes of stuck traffic.
I opted for the latter. Driving in Malaysia has taught me that there is no use being impatient on the roads. Offensive driving only brings offence and a potential accident. Defensive driving may mean you get bullied but at least I get home in one piece, albeit a little latter but safer.
How do you drive?

If it’s a bus, truck or 4 wheel drive, I normally give way…
you’re very patient
I’m definitely a defensive driver
More cars get going that way esp in Malaysia!
Trucks and buses are MONSTERS on Malaysian roads! And they have nothing to lose….so just give way la.
