a random blog entry here im posting. ive been thinking of posting this post for quite some time now and as of now, most of the ideas and thoughts i had about this post had gone away along with other unrelated and unimportant thoughts thats filling up my brain.
okay. about the title of this post.
it occured to me, while driving slowly and well below the speed limit one night, that most of the drivers here in malaysia likes to drive their cars fast, really fast. while i was doing 50kmph on the federal highway, or sprint, or anywhere at all for that matter, cars zoom past me by real fast.
it seems like everyone is always in a rush heading somewhere. be it in the morning, noon, evening or late at night, there will always be cars thats being driven real fast. what cant people just relax, and drive slow for a change ? drive slow, and take in the surrounding view as you are heading off to work in the mornings or heading back home late at night, sometimes it can be nice you know. and you save on a lot of things in my opinion. petrol, which in turn will save your cash, and your brakes, as you need a lot more braking done when you drive fast.
i am not saying that i dont drive fast, i do, but i save it for the most improtant reasons only, as such heading back home from hanging out with my friends when the clock is showing 5 minutes to 3am, in this situation, i'll drive quite fast in order for me not to be nagged by my mom the day after for reaching home late, but still, i dont drive as fast as some of the other drivers ive seen on the road.
another type of driver which i dont really understand, are those who try to drive fast in a traffic jam. they speed up when the car in front had moved, only to step hard on the brakes a few metres up front. aint all those accelaration and petrol and brakes being wasted by doing that ? conserve your brakes and your petrol mister, its not worth it to waste it just for a few metres.
whats the fuss with driving fast ?
enjoyment ?
too much money to spend therefore they drive fast so that they can spend their money on petrol ?
showing off ?
whats the fuss whit driving fast ?
anyone got an answer for me ?
if this was an essay thats going to be assesed, it wont get a lot of marks, as much of this are babblings without any real evidence to support it. and its quite unorganized. but as i said earlier, most of my ideas are gone. and only now am i typing out this post.
so people,
drive slow for a change,
when you think about it,
you dont really need to rush everywhere,
lower your speed,
and drive slow for a change.
and the question that ignites the idea for this post still dangles in my head,
What's the fuss with driving fast ?
