KL driving

I had forgotten how closely people will follow in their cars here, every inch of road gained towards your destination is a closely guarded treasure, regardless of whether you're halfway up the backside of the vehicle in front.

I had forgotten how no one gives way, diving into the sliver of sunlight that separates the back bumper from the front of the car behind.

I had forgotten how motorcyclists dodge and dive between the more cumbersome four-wheeled vehicles, seeming to appear, as if by magic right in your path.

I had forgotten how people double park with no conscience, park on a blind corner with no second thought, or create a blind corner by parking in an improvised parking space.
