Number 1: Never use 'Signal'. Using signal is an indication of weakness. Nobody will allow you to change lane if you use signal. They will speed up (particularly those who are more fragile like motocycle or little cars) causing you delay, and often miss a turn you intend to make. Instead, you may 'fake' a turn but lightly move the steering wheel to the direction you wish to turn and then back to straight line. This will scare any cars or motocycle therefore causing them to slow down. You are then required to make your move within seconds of your 'fake' move. Failure to do so will irritate others, causing them to speed up and possibly raising an arm with an extended finger.
Number 2: Positioning It is important to know that there are many heroic drivers in Malaysia who often use the 'keep left to turn right' and 'keep right to turn left' approach. Always be prepared for such hero drivers.
Number 3: Keep to the left in peak hours It is wise to keep to the left lane if you are stuck in traffic jam. There are plenty of heroic drivers using the 'emergency lane' therefore the left lane is more like a lane and a half. Feel free to use the Emergency lane although you will suffer Maximum Fine if you get caught. Police are often hiding behind trees, and occasionally come from no where and show up at your back.
To be continue....
