Do you want to know why Malaysian's or the more popular term recently “rakyat” will never EVER be good and proper drivers on the roads? Well it's pretty simple really. It's because they're just as bad with shopping trolleys so what on earth makes us think we could handle the mechanical wonder that it is the motor-vehicle.
Seriously, I'm sure you've been to our super or hypermarkets and have bumped into our champion rakyat. It's bad enough that the rakyat doesn't understand the concept of queuing or courtesy but the blatant ignorance when handling a simple shopping trolley is just mind numbing.
Is it really so hard to not take up the entire aisle when you're pausing to get something and why is it that you MUST park your shopping cart at the corner or intersection thus forcing people to have to maneuver around the stone statue that you are.
Amazingly the driving behavior of stopping for no reason happens outside of the car too. It's bad enough that your behind does not come supplied with indicators so yeah, pardon me if I don't see you and hit you straight on. I'm sure the insurance agent would have a field day laughing at you.
A shopping cart or trolley is really not that difficult to work. I mean it goes where you push it and unlike a car that tends to have a mind of its own when you lose control, a shopping trolley is unlikely to under or over steer sending it hurtling towards the nicely stacked pyramid of diapers.
A few days ago a colleague of mine shared the news that Lamborgini's would soon be available in Malaysia. My only worry is simple, how can the rakyat handle such a beast when it's already struggling to handle a human powered shopping trolley?
Cheers!!! :D
