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
