road rage

i proud myself as a very thoughtful, careful and considerate driver. ahem, not all is self pride altogether some has been told by others. you have to trust me on this 1, cuz iv got enuf reasons to think of myself as a rare Malaysian driver.
1. i signal before i turn left or right
2. i actually signal a good 100m before the turn (see.. rare right?)
3. i give way to other drivers waiting to cross at junctions (cuz i am a driver and i know how much it shucks)
4. i actually slow down at yellow (yes i am a gem, i know :P)
5. i do not speed or brake unnecessarily (unless i am late for class, which is always an exception to commit a crime or two)

5 reasons is enuf right? cuz i don't want to sound too pompous :D i bet you are now wondering why is this person going on a rant about her seemingly unbelievable driving etiquette, which might all be just hog-wash. but there is a reason for this post which is gonna turn pretty ugly now, with the introduction of the villain of my ordinary day.

there was i trying to maneuver the huge giant of a car that i drive thru the horrendous morning traffic of KL. the spoilt traffic light wasn't much of a help, thank you very much. so just when the cars started moving i put my signal to position myself in the fast lane, cuz thats wher i have to be if i need to turn into the junction on the right. and the moment i turned on my indicator the villain who was for so long coming at a tortoise pace suddenly transmogrified to a cheetah on prey hunt. like come on, how cheap can you be, you don't want go fast other people go also cannot a? typical Malaysian attitude. so due to the un-chivalrous character of the villain, i was stuck in between the fast lane and the lane next to it, being at the receiving end for some motorist stare. *sweet.

so readers explain to me why did the drive i was trying to overtake decided to sped up just when i turned on my indicator. is it
a) he is a egoist who doesn't like being at the back
b) he is a male chauvinist who doesn like a girl overtaking him.
c) he is jealous that i am driving a bigger car than me.(possible k)
or is it

d) he has a very strict boss who will cut of his penis if he is 1/2 a second late, trust me he would only have had that much of an advantage by not giving way to me. pardon my french above, but i am pissed, and i sincerely hope option d) is the correct answer and he was 1/2 a second late *evil grin

so yeah i was driving half a second behind him all the time, when god decided to punish him. you see, the villain decided that the fast lane was moving to slow for him (it was, rily) and decided to go to the next lane i.e the lane i was earlier. but he decided to not put signal, and was hovering at the border between these two lanes, which resulted in him being honked by a motorist *a smirk on my face. and then he decided to put on his signal and actually make an attempt to swerve into the lane only to be not allowed by the driver on the other lane. and now it was his turn to be stuck in the middle. i slowly drove my car stopped right next to his abnormally positioned car, rolled down my windows and threw my most widest sarcastic smile ever at him. i could see him boiling in his seat. oh well, what goes around comes around

incidence in the last paragraph was the author's imagination through and through. nothing like that happened, instead he happily swerved into the next lane. sigh, guess the car he overtook was driven by a rare gem like me :)
