We've always talked about being courteous on the road, be careful and be considerate to other drivers, not tailgating, giving signals at the right time (not at the last minute), and how we motorists FEAR the motorcyclists who go about speedily and recklessly. I've read the papers the other day and someone was suggesting to ban motorcycles on highways during festive seasons as they have the higher risk of being involved in accidents and mostly end in a pity state, which is death.
I went to Sri Petaling Hotel ta couple of nights ago to meet up with my boyfriend's sisters as they just came back from their holidays. They were telling me about a terrible accident that had happened in Tangkak, Johor. A kid was trapped under a vehicle. If you've never been to Tangkak, it's between the Gunung Ledang recreation park and Muar. The two to four-lane road is always busy with cars, buses and yes, motorcycles. Each lane...is not that wide and I dreaded passing through the town with all the road users who don't give a damn about safety. My blood pressure rises, my heart pumps a lot faster, I sweat nervously, my hands and feet cold every time I pass through that little town. Not only the motorcyclists are crazy, but the motorists as well! How can anyone speed in such environment? Tell me! It's not a highway, I'm telling you.
Anyways, jauh pulak dari topik sebenar.
Dear Motorcyclists,
You're fast and quick in your reflexes, yes I know.
You're highly skilled in zig-zagging (if there's such a word), I know that too.
However 'mighty' you are on the road, your iron steel is wearing you.
Unlike motorists, they are wearing the iron steel.
Motorists, like warriors, wearing their armors from head to toe before going to the war,
Motorcyclists, on the other hand, only wear it on the head while hugging their armors heading to war.
monologku: Tell me, does the tortoise leave its shell? No, it's dangerous world out there. You'll never know the unexpected. That goes to you too, motorists.
