[QUOTE="okow, post: 171050, member: 14"] ...and that's why the thread title..."same ol' story"...how many times have we heard and read about operasi this and operasi that...Ops Lallang to Ops Pandu Cermat. Speed Thrills but Kills posters to billboard ads....not only nothing has changed but it seems to have gotten worse. And yes, enforcement does play an important role in making it safer but nothing will change if WE all dont change our mindset, mentality, respect and above all abide laws laid down. Take this for example, how many of you wear seat belts because the law says that you must and not because you believe that its safer? How many times have I seen (my friends included) drivers and passengers immediately belt up because there was just Policeman ahead. Im sure youve experienced it too. How many times have I also seen a motorcyclist with 2 or more pillions riding in the city stopped next to or slowly passing a Policeman/car without being pulled over for an office. How many motorcyclist wear helmets when they ride to the mosque for their Friday prayers...and do they get stopped by the cops? The law cannot and should not be impartial from the rich to the poor, religious reasons or otherwise. Everytime when it rains, underpasses are "flooded" not by excessive rain water but by bikers, taking shelter...and also taking 1 to 2 lanes haphazardly sitting on their bikes oblivious to the dangers to theirs as well as the other road users. I believe all these and may more are the culprits that that add to our rising road fatalities....Non Confucious saying: "Bad attitude that's not niped in the butt leaves very bad smell"! [/QUOTE]
