To Kamen Rider, Tedz and Pooh March,
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I shall see you there at
8.30 am this Sat. K-Rider, My h/p no is 94360391, can I have yours
in case i cannot find the multi-storey car park in Toa Payoh. If
not you can call me on Sat if I am late. (Hopefullly not)
To Starrie,
I have driven many times to M'sia in all types of cars and I find
that it is generally safe. I can tell you about some stories which
I heard but it would take too long.
In summary,
Do not: Sleep, be dozy, pick up hitchhikers, be tempted to buy
stolen goods (eg Rolexes) in car-stops, quarrel with M'sns (they
naturally dislike us). Also speed, especially during downpours, and
bribing or 'settling' fines. Try not to drive in KL unless you are
familiar with the roads. Take a taxi or the LRTs
Do: stay within speed limits, at least within + 10%, obey all steet
signs eg accident areas, work-in-progress, slippery when wet
kampong or school areas etc. Always lock your car.Keep a spare key
with your partner. Keep to ypur lane, especially at night in single
lane 'expressways'
The greatest danger is falling asleep, so don't drive at night or
too late, keep yourself occupied if you are feeling sleepy, eg
check instrumentation, adjust air-con, radio eat sweets, move
around just to keep awake!!
If you are driving in a convoy, try to use a place that is not too
popular as a meeting place.
Msia is a good place for driving and exploring around. There are
many places to visit, beaches, mountains, cheap hotels, good and
different food etc. also petrol is subsidised. If you are confident
you can even drive to Phuket but first Msia
Safe driving
Toadie
