Adapting to Life

Life has a way of throwing up unexpected suprises when you least expect it. That might sound oxymoronic, but that's life. This blog will reflect on the suprises in my life and how I adapt to it. In layman's term, it's a place where I can vent all my angst and trumpet all my joys.

*Adapting to Humour* : When should we tailgate?

I am sure we all seen the advertistments on the television and newspaper print, and even heard it on the radio... Why we should not tailgate ... (In the TV ad, an Evo and a Wira was invovled, and somehow only the Wira got smashed up, a sign of no budget?)

To be honest, I tailgate cars all the time... And I believe that sometimes there are situations where tail-gating the car in front of you is acceptable, sometimes even encouraged...

I tail-gate when ...

  • The car in front is driving slower on the right lane than the cars in the middle lane.
  • The car in in front ignored my high beams.
Why this is justified...
  • The driver in front is just being plain selfish and endagering others by not getting out of the way and encouraging drivers to overtake him on the left.
  • The driver in front is just being plain lazy by not respecting other road drivers. If enough people tailgate him / her, maybe he / she will know how to drive in the correct lane in the future.
So if you really think about it, by tailgating the cars in front for the above reasons, we are actually saving lifes, not only the driver in front, but for all future drivers.

Happy tailgating folks!!!!
