LOL!! If you see a foreign car (not the usual local models) racing down our highways, it's 99.99999% a Singaporean.

In Singapore, they drive at a sedate 90km/h. Once across the border, they treat the highway like an autobahn. No limit as far as they are concerned.

Maybe you should just change that to "Driving in Malaysia".

I'm been overtaking on the left lane (3 laned highway) many times because of stupid road hoggers, I'm refering to those driving under the speed limit.

Oops.

Hm.. If a Singaporean gets caught speeding in Malaysia, the summons are the same?

Yep, Slow pokes are THE worst. The speed limit is 60mph for cars and 55mph for large trucks. And at least once a week I will be driving to work and some moron will be doing 55 in a car along side a big rig on the two lane highway. No one in front of him/her for a mile,,,, And two dozen cars behind him/her!!!! ARRRRRGGGGG!!!! WTF!!! Can't the A**H**E see in his/her rearview mirror that he/she is holding up tons of traffic behind... ARRRRRRGGG!!!, moving road block!

Then when you finaly get by... They are on a cellphone!

These people will always get the finger when trin finaly gets by.

Unfortunately, yes. They should really charge them in Singapore dollars, which is like 2.3-2.4X higher. That will keep them from racing up and down our highways at 140-160km/h.

The thing about them racing is not so much the speed, but really their manners. Quite a few of them turn on their high lights from over a kilometer away and keep flashing away so that you will get out of their way. Otherwise, they tailgate you and when they cut you, they intentionally come super close so that you will have to brake to avoid them.

Some Malaysian driving idiots do that too, but Singaporean drivers are particularly noticeable because of their plates.
