Let the guy pass man... one day someone might just be needing to send his pregnant wife to the hospital or something, don't let the jackass spoil the good guys.

DYKT : Tailgating or drafting actually helps you save fuel.

Emergency? Why are they on north south highway? No hospital in their what ever place they came from?

These kind of reckless drivers on highway are just seeking thrills or just being arrogant on the road.

Only logical hospitals near the North South Highway would be the new Sungei Buloh and Putrajaya hospitals. But generally, such patients would be in ambulances....

Even if they are in cars, these cars would normally be flashing the emergency signals, not just flashing everyone out of their way.

What about potholes? Man the winter brings them on fast here... One day nothing... The next a 1/2 foot deep hole that you hit at 50mph+ sometimes!!!

Well, we do have quite a few potholes but our potholes get fixed every 5 years or so, just before general elections.

Back in India, the yearly monsoon would create potholes in all the roads, making them really bad especially after the long moonsoon. Luckily, they fix them on a yearly basis, right after the monsoon season.

Penang is connected to the mainland and the North-South Express way by Penang Bridge one of the longest bridges in Asia. One-way toll for a car from mainland is RM7 no charge for vehicles to mainland.
