The Middle Lane

There's always something special with the middle lane of a three lane road or highway. It is like the gathering place of slow drivers, drivers who should have been on the left lane, but no, they would usually take a leisurely stroll on the middle lane.

I don't have an issue with drivers on the middle lane. They do piss me off when they drive 20%-30% slower than the speed limit. Haven't they studied the rules when taking their license? The middle lane is the FAST lane. If you wanna go slow, by all means use the left lane. Please don't be a nuisance and clog up the middle lane.

If you were doing that in Germany, you would have already been stopped by the police and be given a nice love letter.

Please remember what you have learned in driving school. Left lane is the sloooooow lane, where all of you road hogs should be. The middle lane is the fast lane, which is the reason for a speed limit. And all you hogs don't ever think of using the right lane. That's for overtaking and should be at least 10% faster than the speed limit. Not for you go a wee bit faster than you already are to take over a slower hog than you. You can cause serious accidents with that dumb action!

So, please be considerate and don't clog the middle lane. Fuel is not that expensive according to our beloved government so it won't hurt your wallet by stepping on your accelerator more. If you are so concerned on fuel cost, don't spend your money on Japanese, Continental, nor American cars. Belilah buatan Malaysia and drive the very fuel efficient Kancil or Viva. But do remember to stay in the proper lane.

Sekian terima kasih.
