If you have driven in Penang before, you will know that Penang drivers never know which lane to drive in when they are on a 4 lane road. Chances are they will drive on the broken line dividing the 2 lanes, merrily unaware of the fact that they are causing confusion to other drivers coming up behind them. You just don't know which lane to use to overtake them! Very often I have to honk them to help them to make up their minds which lane to use and when I am passing them I stick up 2 fingers (not one) to drive home the point that they are driving on 2 lanes.
In addition, drivers in Penang will change lanes at will, without any indication of their intention to do so. If the lane they are driving in is just a wee bit slower, they will switch over to the next lane without any prior warning whatsoever. I suppose, as far as road manners are concerned, Penang drivers are no worse than drivers in the other states. When will Malaysians drivers learn to be more considerate towards other road users?
