Sleep Driving

It’s one of the irony of life and has become one of Jimbo’s pet angst every Monday and Tuesday when he travels to KL to work.

How can a highway which is meant to cut traveling time end up prolonging it?

The people who built and manage the NPE Highway have this banner displayed prominently everywhere:

It takes only 5 minutes from Point A to Point B.

Of course they neglect (or forgot) to mention (or maybe it’s in the fine print), that point A and B refer to the toll booths on either end of the highway. Thereafter, you gotta crawl to your destination.

Which is why Jimbo often wonders why he forks out RM 1.60 one way to use the NPE Highway, to travel from the Sg Besi Highway to the Bangsar Exit which takes around 5 minutes and then CRAWL from the toll to the actual exit, usually taking around 20-30 minutes! (Btw, if any people out there are thinking of suggesting that Jimbo try using the Federal Highway ~ don’t. It takes Jimbo 40-60 minutes to get from the Desa Water Park to UMMC!)

Here’s a picture of the crawl yesterday:

To add salt to the wound, there is also a banner hung at the lamp post which carries the following words:

JANGAN MENGANTUK KETIKA MEMANDU (Do not doze off while driving)!!!

It’s some kind of sick joke.
With traffic going at 5 cm/min; one could not but become sleepy an drowsy.

Jimbo thinks the people who designed and built the NPE are a bunch of idiots* with prostate problems~ imagine a 2 lane highway, fed by 2 very busy roads and one slip road from a nearby village all headed toward the Angkasapuri (Jimbo also wonders why Angkasapuri has so many employees, contributing immensely to the jam) and trying to squeeze through a very narrow underpass which has a very inconvenient traffic light in front holding up traffic!

Stupid stupid stupid people!!! Gaargh!!!!

*Jimbo believes that these same idiots either built or are related to the people who built the road in front of the Hospital Tuanku Ja’afar, Seremban.
