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!!!!

Two arms up! I totally agree with you, friend! I'm sure most of us have encountered that situation countless times.

But of course, do tailgate at a safe distance for your own safety.

You are one of those folks who will appear in the Malay Mail with some kind of headline such as "Enraged Consultant Logs Time In Jail" or some psychiatric piece like "Overtaking or Taking Over? -- Behind Adrian Lim Wei Jin's tortured mind" ...

Agreed... I too dislike those ppl who drive like "on my father's road", drive slower that mid & left lane... For that, I'll usually high beam them / try to overtake from left lane rather than tailgate. You know la... if anything happened, gals very "sit dai" 1... Sigh... : (

Btw, do make sure that you tailgate in a safe distance & do check your car's break often, k... ; )
