vroom
i always shudder when i hear my girl friends say they want to buy a vespa. i've heard this from quite a number of them to date.
most of the time i try to humour them if i know they're just saying this without any true intention, but when shit gets serious i'm like HELL NO.
i struggle to explain to them the dangers as they seem unable to grasp this. i don't think any of them knows just how much danger riding involves.
all that goes through their minds is "but it's sooo cuuute!" it's cute and slow (not slow, just what they think) and this somehow makes them think it's safe. it's not.
honestly speaking, i fear for my life when there are female drivers near me while i'm riding. they can somehow contrive to come up with the most inexplicable shit on the road that would scare the shit outta me.
i once thought that female riders would be worse, but strangely they all seem quite alright. now i think the bad ones are all dead, because the road doesn't let you off just cos you're a girl riding a cute scooter.
the sad thing is, i have little doubt in my mind that these friends would be among the dead ones. most of them are the kind of girl that would freeze up, close their eyes and scream when something scary happens.
not exactly the best thing to do while riding at speeds that would kill you, and with brainless drivers left and right. just one wrong move is enough.
"you WILL die in a horrible accident if you ever buy a vespa." do you think it would be rude of me to tell this straight to them?
it's the harsh truth. rude, yes, but when i try to put it across subtly, no one ever seems to get it (but it's sooo cuuute!)
trust me, i've been riding for over 3 years and i know YOU WILL DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH.

the funny thing is that the drivers think the riders are crazy and the riders think the drivers are the crazy ones lol

malaysian bikes are the crazy ones.
these drivers though, the only way i stay alive is to act as though everyone is blind.

i just recalled one incident of total stupidity.
car on the extreme right (FASTEST) lane on expressway did an emergency brake and came to a complete stop, nearly causing the car behind to crash into him.
why?
because there was an ERP gantry ahead and he forgot to insert his cash card, didn't wanna get fined.

haha one time I just drive through only to hear a strange noise and realise my card is not in. My mum said the fine is like 100+. That's a lot. ==
