1. Speed limits are there for us to follow because our highways are actually not F1 race tracks.

2. New HID headlight bulbs? Cool. It's so blindingly bright I can't even read this, what more drive.

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has announced that it is illegal to install HID lights on vehicles without prior approval from the department. Even luxury car importers must get approval from JPJ if their cars have HID installed straight from the factory.

3. One lane = one vehicle. NO sharing.

4. Speaking of lanes, drive IN it, not IN BETWEEN it. Your father/grandfather/future child will never own the road.

5. There is a clearly marked parking lot in bright highlighter yellow. Use it.

6. Also, parking lots are designed with enough of space for humans to enter and exit the car. Our cars don't need to kiss.

7. NO PARKING means your car is not allowed here.

8. Dear cars, motorcyclists have feelings and needs too. Please give them a chance.

PS: We know whose car that is.

9. There is NO RULE WHATSOEVER that states you have to slow down to look at an accident.

10. Use your signal lights. No one can read your mind. It'd be nice if you can warn me before making an abrupt left turn and nearly hitting my car, thank you.

11. Yellow box = get out of there. Don't chill in it. Ever.

12. When you see RED, stop and wait with patience. Also applies to motorbikes, bicycles and wheelbarrows (see below).

13. Don't double park. If you have to, at least leave your number?

14. Lorry tak boleh macam ni.
