anything goes
Malaysian motorcyclists’ credo: Anything goes.
.
Malaysian motorcyclists’ code of conduct for public roads:
Sidewalks are also roads
Speed limit signs are for cars, vans and trucks
Stopping at stop lights is at your discretion
If stopping for a stop light, go six feet or further beyond the stop line
Yielding the right-of-way to other motorists is unnecessary
Yielding the right-of-way to pedestrians is optional
Signaling lane changes and turns off roads is discouraged
Stopping suddenly without signaling in a busy traffic lane to buy a cigarette or gambling ticket is permissible
Speed advisory signs ahead of small-radius turns are to be ignored
Signs advising shifting into lower gears when descending tight turns are for four-wheeled and six-wheeled vehicle operators only
Signs advising reduction of speed on wet roads and steep descents are to be ignored
Traveling the ‘wrong’ direction on one-way streets is permitted
Traveling the ‘wrong’ direction, ‘against’ oncoming traffic on two-way streets is permissible when it is expedient for you
Ride across one way and two-way streets, perpendicular to traffic flow, when necessary to buy a newspaper or a cigarette
No more than six people are to occupy any two-wheeled conveyance
Tricycles may bear seven passengers, including operator
When joining traffic in an adjacent lane, do not look at oncoming traffic before entering lane nor yield the right-of-way
Before all and after all, remember that motorcyclists rule the roads and road rules are not for motorcyclists
The motorcyclists here seem to follow the same set of rules. It makes driving much more interesting, to say the least.
Oh, and you missed an important rule: Don’t look before you pull out or change lanes. If you look, you might not be able to do it.
