First things first... I have nothing against car makes of any kind... Sushi, Bacon and eggs, Kimci or Mao. I'm a relaxed driver who gives way rather than be the first in line. However today @ 9pm I had a brush with a souped up old model Kia Cerato HB... Was travelling along Bt Timah... lane 1 towards city. There's a Beemer on lane 2 slightly in front of me and we were cruising along fine @ 75kmh. The traffic lights near the Caltex station turns red and i let my foot off the accelerator and let my car roll on its momentum. I believe that the Beemer driver does the same because his car slowed down without his brake light being lit. At this juncture we were about 200m from the junction. I then notice a pair of headlight coming very fast behind me. Siao liao... i think one speedy fella so i want to filter left to let pass... but this dumbo driver stayed between lane 1 and lane 2 so I have no idea where he want to pass me from. As I am already near the red light, so i just stayed in the lane 1 and tap brake to slow and stop. Suddenly this dumbo behind me rev engine vroom vroom overtake me on the left, and cut into the small space between me and the Beemer in the second lane. I think the Beemer driver also noticed him cutting dangerously and swerved left to make space for this dumbo. I have to swerve into lane 2 because the DUMBO braked hard in front of me and the space is so tight. By this time we have nearly reached the traffic light and the light turned green without any of us having to stop. Then this Cerato (now i see the make/model clearly) with many brake lights accelerated as hard as it could (engine goes Brooommmm!!!!). The Beemer driver then floored his pedal and left the Cerato biting the dust. I also sian floored my oil and let the Cerato smell my exhaust pipe. My car is an MPV that is all stock and i was surprised that i left the asthmatic Cerato FAR behind. I caught up with the Beemer who has slowed down after quite a distance. As I passed by, the driver, a Chinese man smiled, gave me the thumbs up, pointed back at the Cerrato and drew circles on his temple. When I filter right for the U turn to Sixth Ave, the Cerrato HB FINALLY caught up with roaring engines... his window was down and the typical techno music was as loud as it can be. The driver has his hand out and was showing the middle finger. I think that's the best he can do.... HAHAHA! Hahaha! Same to you.... Loser.
