What will happen if nobody care about it???

Namaste...

Meeting me again... One -Fudley in the house...

Whoa! Seems like everyone is busy packing their stuff and get prepared for the Hari Raya break... Hold on just a second. Let's take a look into the last discussion question which is "What will happen if there is no action taken by the authority to counter this problem?"

As the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays are drawing nearer, the numbers of vehicles pouring onto our highways are getting larger each day. In order to ensure a smooth traffic so that Malaysians go home safely to celebrate the festive season, 1,800 enforcers have been stationed to monitor the operation of long-distance coaches. Besides stepping up patrol along the highways, the fourth annual "Operation Attitude" has also been launched beginning the fasting month which is on September 1st 2008.

In fact, the police have erected temporary posts along the highways to monitor the traffic flow in a bid to reduce the occurrence of road accidents so that all road users can go home safely to celebrate their Raya. As for the illegal street racers, this season would be the best time of year to arrange for their activity.

Could you guys imagine what the consequences will be if there is no action taken by the authority? Of course it will create heavy masses in the traffic especially during this festive season. In addition to doing their stunts and racing around, they have a habit of causing public disorder. They usually travel in large groups and at times raid isolated petrol stations. They can cordon off normal traffic flow to allow their friend race along a predetermined circuit.

Furthermore, Street racers are not professional drivers and have never been formally trained. There is no chance for them to practice. They rely on their limited experience at high speeds and their adrenaline to get them through the race. Also, their vehicles have been modified beyond the manufacturers’ standards and engineering specs. The result of a racer pushing the capabilities of his or her vehicle can be a blown engine or a ton of sheet metal hurtling out of control into a crowd. And the crowd is often way too close to the marked course of the race and not behind any protective barriers.

Consequently, vehicle crashes at street races cause injuries to drivers, passengers, spectators, and even innocent bystanders. When this problem take place what would be the next dilemma to the road users? The answer is in you, think about it deeply.

Alright, I think that's all for now, coz I'm going to pack my stuff also... See Ya!!!
