Sohai suggest to install speed monitors on express buses
By Tiuniasing | August 16, 2007
SPEED-monitoring devices should be installed in express buses to avoid a repeat of Monday’s horror accident at Bukit Gantang near Taiping, Sin Chew Daily said in its editorial. - The Star
I find the idea of installing a speed monitor is so fucking stupid.
I used to be a regular passenger to express coaches as I had a girlfriend who’s from Penang. I took buses to Penang almost every week just to meet my dear ex-girlfriend. She moved and stayed with me later, but we were separated after some time. Let’s don’t bother about my love story. We’re talking about express buses today.
When you’re travelling on PLUS, you can see some express buses are speeding so fucking fast like nobody business, and some are so blardy slow like a dying snail. I think the red and silver Konsortium is always fast on highway, and that’s why Konsortium is always my first choice out of all. The one shown in the photo here is a double decker. Last time didn’t have double decker, so I took the normal single ’storey’ or decker only. I would go for the lesser seats one, 24 seats only if I am not mistaken.
I always know the difference between reckless/careless and fast/speed. The most recent express bus disaster is due to tiredness of the bus driver. Let us think properly, why was the driver tired?? Must be working for too long hour, right?? Why working for too long hour?? Because he was slow lah of course!! If he was fast and could reach the destination early, do you think he would be too tired??
Malaysian Road and Transportation Ministry can never find out the actual cause for rising of accident rates in the country. They always blame people for speeding and issue speeding ticket like an old women hunger for sex. They will never blame the drivers for yawning or tired of long hour driving on the road. The media or press already said that the reason for the recent express bus accident is due to tiredness of the bus driver. But then there are still many dumbasses suggesting ways or methods to reduce speed. What I can see is that these dumbasses are trying FORCE the express bus driver to lengthen the time taken to reach the destination. In another word, they want the drivers to spend more time on driving. Spending more time on driving means higher risk to involve in an accident. Agree with me??
I think I need to bring you some facts to prove what I am talking here is not some shits or rubbish. If I ask you to stand by the roadside for 1 minute, the chance of you being banged by car is only… 1 minute. It’s considered very low risk getting banged. But if I were to ask you to stand by the roadside for, let’s say 1 hour or 60 minutes. Do you think your life will be safer than standing for 1 minute only?? This is what I want to bring to you. The shorter time we spend on the road, the lower risk it will be. The express bus I took usually take about 4 hours only from KL Puduraya to Butterworth. Those slow buses take about 5 hours plus to reach there. It’s 1 hour plus more needed, and I really don’t want to risk my life to stay on the dangerous highway for another 1 hour plus. You get what I mean??
Also, I notice that driving slow always lead to drivers’ carelessness. If you drive slow, you will think you are safe and you’re very relax too. In this case, you can’t judge properly or your response is also slow, you won’t be as alert as those who driver fast. And when you are slow, you will think you won’t bang anyone’s car. But do you know that the chance of you kena banged is also high when you’re slow?? You think when people bang you, you won’t die?? You also die lah. You die from behind somemore…
Please drive faster, don’t block my way and support my sponsor.

hehe..yeah the 3 times i involved in car accident were when i drove slow…wasnt alert tht time
well…can drive fast lar, but drive carefully,and drive fast when ur vehicle can support the speed, n make sure the vehicle is under control,neva drive recklessly.
well slow and fast oso no good… average speed is the best… cuz too slow sucks and too fast sucks… unless i have a sport car.
fast & steady is good; fast & reckless is of course a different story..
anyway, if one wants to crawl may be can use the left lanes instead of monopoly the fast lane!
hahahah i agree with going fast..seriously going slow will make me sleep
but then again i hate buses..if they’re tired they should stop at R&R to rest..they hold 20-40 lives in their hand!
and sumo they think they dem keng chou cos they spend most of their time on the road! x(
qing,
my car can go 210km/h max, but I usually go until 180km/h only. So it should be safe as I don’t hit its max.
zexynova,
yes, drive fast and carefully is way to go!!
mh,
maybe they thought they’re damn fucking fast already, that’s why they drive on fastlane. But they are damn sohai lah!!
huei,
Drive safe is the way to go!!
You are so damn fking right! that’s the same thing going on my mind for so long!!!
SPEED Doesn’t KILL! It’s the amount of concentration that you give when driving!
I can drive 5km/h and still die because my car will fall down into a fking ravine when I fell asleep!!!
I salute you!
haha they only have one way street kind of mentality :p
U are one fucking idiot who do not care for the safety of other road users and the passengers in your car (which most probably are your love ones). I do not know what bloddy car you have, but it is never safe to drive at 180kph on a road that is not built for that kind of speed.
A simple incident like a sudden tyre burst will makes u go out of control at such speed. No matter how good a driver u are. Even an F1 car driven by a world champion will not be able to control it.
I am not asking u to drive at snails’ speed but please know the limit. Many parts of the highway have no protective barrier to prevent your car from plunging down into a ravine or into trees in case your car goes out of control.
It doesnt matter if u are willing to take the risk (u die then its your choice, its your problem), but u may cause the life of others who are not willing to take the same risk as u do. These people may have families who depends on them to get food on the table.
Please do take into considerations the safety of other road users and your love ones the next time u decided to speed on the road. Thank you
Totally out! The bus drivers are tired because they need to work all day long and there’s no replacemnet. Imagine drive from Penang to Kl and Kl to Penang all over again in a day?!
It’s the frequency of trips the driver took, it’s pushing their body limits!
Jonny,
hahaa… I’m glad to hear that dude!!
mochii,
yeah, I couldn’t agree more with you.
leyaw,
since I have fuckingly posted this fucking entry up, that shows I damn fucking care for everyone’s fucking safety and I do not fucking want the same old fucking unfortunate incident to fucking happen to any fucking one out there.
I just do not fucking agree with what the fucking ministers suggest every fucking time there is a fucking deadly accident happens. They keep on fucking that the cause of fucking deadly accidents is the fucking speed, but I fucking doubt on that. I just fucking hope that they can fucking investigate the real fucking reason behind of it.
I fucking agree with the recent fucking report that the main fucking cause is the fucking management of fucking express bus companies. So it has nothing fucking to do with the fucking SPEED!!
Do you fucking think that our fucking PLUS is suitable to make 180km/h from the fucking beginning till the fucking end?? Impossible. I’ve fucking written there fucking clearly that the max I fucking make is 180km/h. It doesn’t fucking mean that I fucking drive at 180km/h from start to end on the fucking PLUS. Maybe one or two fucking parts that I think is safe to drive on fucking 18km/h, then I will fucking do. The rest are fucking lower than that!!
You’re fucking welcome.
Kenny lee,
this is so fucking true dude, I couldn’t fucking agree more with you!!
Well, fuck all you want. If want to drive that fast on a public road. If someone get killed or even if that happens to be your family member because of the way you drive, then i wonder who the the fuck who fuck the hell out of you.
If u are feeling tired when u drive, get the hell out of the road. If u want to enjoy speeding then head to the speed track. The world be more in order without people like you who do not care a fuck for the law.
You are just like a typical Malaysian who thinks that law that you feel its unnecessary can be broken. You think its your father’s road ar?
You pay for the toll, others as well. So everyone have the rights to drive on the road and feel save. Thats what i think, wonder how many does not feel that way
leyaw,
thank you for your reply.
I am also a road user and I pay for the toll also. As long as I think my speed is safe, be it fast or slow, it shold not be a problem. At least by so far, I have never been involved in any high-speed accident before. This shows my driving is safe and steady. Driving slow then banged people’s asses got lah, a few times somemore.
One day, if I were to bang a fucker at highspeed, I seriously wish I can have your loved ones as the victim!!
I think u are one of those kurang ajar people (no insult to your parents). Who knows it might happened to you. Someday someone who thinks that they are driving safely at speeds of 180, may suffer a burst of tyre or something, lose control and kill your family members.
You wouldn’t blame them of course. You can’t blame them because these people are like you, you are one of them. They always think that they can control their cars and drive safely at 180kmp. If not why else would they drive so fast. You think those who drive fast and get killed or killed someone think that they are on a suicide mission or attempting murder? Of course not, right? Since u are one of these people, i’m sure u are not out there to kill or get killed right? Or maybe u are just there to kill me or my family?
leyaw,
when you use the word kurang ajar, obviously you’re insulting my parents. I am okay with it anyway, I won’t take it seriously. But why didn’t you just admit it??
I totally understand what you’re trying to say, but do you understand what I want to tell you or not?? I said the max I drive on PLUS is only 180km/h, and I drive it only when I think it’s safe. When I said SAFE, it means there is no any blardy car on the stretch, and not all the way toll to toll at 180km/h. Why are you so stubborn one to understand this??
Yes, I think I can control my car well at 180km/h. At least so far I am still sitting here replying you. And I also know that I would have died because of other road users’ mistake as you said, it’s not easy to control at such a high speed. So, I try 180km/h once in a while when I think it is safe!!
Don’t argue with me about tire bursting and all those stuff. You have the responsible to make sure your car is under good condition all the time to reduce the risk of accident. If you think it’s still not enough, you better stay at home 24/7!!
