We seem to be blessed with long weekends almost every week. Wont complain about this. Last weekend's day off was called National Day. This weekend's day off is called Malaysia Day. I cannot see a difference, but wont rock the boat. If so, someone who mans the holidays might realize they have duplicated a celebration. I don't intend to stray too far from home. I will let the drivers have the highways to themselves so that I do not have to write any further defensive driving tests here. Well, maybe a couple right now to help them during the weekend.
When hearing a siren, turn up your car radio so that you are not distracted by the sound because:
(a) YES - an ambulance, fire truck, or police car can drive through a ditch or other difficult areas that you cannot do as easily.
(b) NO - look for the source of the siren, pull over to allow that vehicle to pass - they have an emergency to attend.
(c) YES - Definitely stay in your own lane of traffic - you earned that spot and if you are in first position you should never give it up without a fight, especially to one with an unfair advantage using a siren.
When you need to drive somewhere and do not want to be distracted by the sounds along the way, it is always wise to wear large headphones plugged into your iPod. (this seems to be a foreigner's pattern moreso than a local)
(a) True
(b) False
Happy travels.
from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.
