"The world needs to know. AVOID THIS ROAD, GUYS."

10. Superstitious drivers will memorise the number plate so they can buy lucky numbers later

"Must remember the number. Maybe it's lucky."

11. And the car experts will start calculating the cost of the repair

"This one quite teruk. Confirm need at least RM3,000 to fix."

12. You’ll also start driving really carefully after seeing the crash too

"Wah. Here also can accident. Must drive extra carefully now."

Think we can all agree that the worst driver is the one who uses the emergency lane to escape the traffic jam

You should never use the emergency lane just to bypass someone or skip the traffic. It's a lane reserved for the ambulance, police, and firefighters when they're responding to an emergency situation. Earlier this year, it's reported that some road accident deaths were caused by drivers who hog the emergency lane

Remember to give way to the ambulance, police, and firefighters. Don't drive on the emergency lane
