1.TRAFFIC LIGHT
Slightly different rules apply.
Green = Go but as slow as possible.
Orange = Go as fast as possible
Red = Have a quick look and then go
2.ACCIDENT 1
If you find an accident, keep in mind the Unofficial Highway Code, which states that drivers must slow down to a crawl, stare at the crash site, and do everything possible to cause another accident. Understanding this rule helps to significantly avoid participating in any chain event. (Quick tip: Pay attention to the rearview mirror. When the driver behind you is looking sideways at the accident, be prepared to ring the horn to prevent him from kissing the rear bumper.)
3.ACCIDENT 2
So why did Sarawak drivers behave so abnormally when they saw the accident? simple. Get auspicious 4D lottery numbers. An understanding of Chinese culture helps explain this. If an accident occurs in a car, the risk of bad luck is high, and bad luck is fast. So why not delete the license plate and go to the nearest 4D store to buy a lottery ticket. It sounds crazy, but I know a lot of stupid Angkor adopting this local method. While in Rome …
4.LIZARDS, SNAKES, DOGS & ASSORTED WILDLIFE
When traveling in the countryside, it is wise to pay attention to the animals on the road. During a journey from Kuching to Sibu, a friend sat on the steering wheel and we inadvertently destroyed all kinds of wildlife. Among the bodies were two awkward birds flying into the windshield, a snake, a giant frog, the slowest moving monitor lizard of Borneo, and two stupid dogs (called (walking) look). The last collision was particularly sad or ridiculous, with some warnings from the blasting horn, but the two dogs were stuck together until the rental car entered.
5.ALWAYS EXPECT THE WORST AT JUNCTION
If you are approaching an intersection and have the right of way, it is important to remember that cars waiting at the intersection are only waiting 20 feet away. When you approach, it will enter your path. Planning ahead is key. Always expect the worst.
6.POLICE ROAD BLOCKS
If you come by car and encounter a warning similar to the roadblock that appeared in Jackie Chan’s movie, then don’t worry, it’s a lot of police and a lot of guns. Like police around the world, Malaysian police are armed and they like to do a lot of work. Foreigners may just wave their greetings. If you are stopped, the police may ask you to quickly check your license and then quickly ask your supported football team. Seeing 50% of Malaysians are Manchester United supporters and sometimes it doesn’t hurt to be a fan of Man U temporarily. After a quick chat, you will be fine.
7.YELLOW LINES
Contrary to popular belief, these areas are not “no parking” areas. They usually indicate a particularly good location for Sarawak Laksa stalls. In Kuching, the Yellow Line, many parked cars and Sarawak Laksa are all within a few meters. If you don’t believe me, I will be driving along Ban Hawk Road one morning.
8.PEDESTRIAN / ZEBRA CROSSING
The good news is here. Sarawak is the only green dwarf in Malaysia. It says it’s time to walk, and motorists actually stop pedestrians.
9.OVERTAKING
Do this on the inside without using indicators.
10.CARS WITH NO VISIBLE DRIVER
Don’t panic if you find a car without a driver, but keep a safe distance. If you look closely, you will actually see a pair of hands shrunk like plums grabbing the steering wheel, or maybe a little old lady sitting in the front seat. If she wears glasses, keep the distance, if not, shift gears and give it 6,000 turns to get rid of this blind gnome. Blind dwarfs should not be allowed on the road without additional cushions and a pair of sturdy seats.
11.HONDA
Be careful if you find Honda on the rear window. These cars are very popular among the local Boy Racers (perhaps the most lure drivers in the world). Only after the young guy shoots at the engine, turns towards you and drives towards the race, relax again. If Honda has streaks, body kits, windows facing down and smoking tattoos poke out, then avoid direct eye contact, because in Kuching, half of samseng (gangsters) will treat Honda as jazz.
