Emergency lanes, usually found in highways and dual-carriage roads, are mainly used by emergency services to reach their intended destinations as quick as possible. It is also a place where motorists are able to stop during a REAL EMERGENCY.
Nowadays, this lane has been abused countless of times. Motorists have been using it to cut queues. Using it as a way to speed ahead in a traffic jam. Using it for listening to a phone call.
The last reason was a bad one recently. This decision has cost 2 lives (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/3/12/nation/10900521&sec=nation). But the fault is not the driver who stopped but the idiot who used the emergency lane to speed. The idiot has claimed 2 innocent lives. I wonder how he will live the rest of his life after knowing the fact that his stupidity and idiocy has killed 2 innocent people.
