Want to see how Malaysian drives? Part 9





Every driver in Malaysia knows, the speed limit on the PLUS expressway is 110km/h, except several stretches which are either 80 or 90 km/h.


But I could say, most of the drivers, 90% I guess are travelling more faster than the speed limit most of the time. When I was driving on the PLUS highway, I was always "looks like" the last one because everybody overtook me, at both left and right side, although I was already travelling at 110km/h.

Commercial vehicles like buses and lorries are limited only to 90km/h on highway. But how many of those buses follow this rules? If nobody, or only a mere 10% of the drivers are following the rules, 2 questions here:

1. Where is the enforcement?
2. If the authority doesn't bother to nab those who foul the rules, why still put on the unrealistic rule?

If the government is closing on one eye in this matter, it would cause confusion to the people because it seems that it's up to the government to only punish the offenders at certain times which the government thinks it likes. There should clear lines drawn over here: 110km/h is the maximum speed, or just raise it 120km/h. Anything above that would be subject to traffic laws.
