Car signals are there for a reason mister.
Its to let the other drivers know whats on your f**cking mind so that necessary action/precaution can be taken. we're not renegade or rebel soldiers on a death mission, weaving about in demented frenzy. we're all hauling precious cargo here - school bound kids !!!!!!!!!
Shah alam, as in most surburban community, have loads and loads of 'concerned' parents/adults who send their kids/charges to school instead of using the services of a van/bus operator. i am one of them. this means instead of 1 van loading up to say about 20 kids, the roads are clogged up with 20 odd cars. of course this also means 20 individuals in a rush to go to work or whatever it is they do in the morning. it's very unfortunate that tempers do not have any regard for time nor place and flares easily. thus we find ourselves in a very volatile situation of our own making.
You'd think a bunch of adults would have clear thinking at their disposal so early in the morning, right? i mean after all, we've just had a good nite's sleep, right? sigh .... wrong. we have hectic days followed by restless nights and nearly all of us end up with frayed nerves instead. nerves so frayed that we even forget the important things in life - like our precious cargo, manners & our sense of humanity. should we deny our 'interdependence' ?
Can we?
We're all in this together, for better for worse... so lets look out for each other shall we?!!

i am one of those who send the kids myself to school. i know i am contributing to the traffic havoc.
may be may be may be when the mother grow up, the kids will get to take the school van/bus.
dear ninuk, traffic havoc tu cant be helped coz for some of us, its more convenient (and also easier on the mind lol) to send the kids off to school ourselves. akak pun sama je.. 'cept that we have to be mindful of others is all. ada parents yg agak reckless and it's dangerous near a school zone!!
sah laa akak ni 'arrested growth' hehehe... anak2 dah besar panjang pun berambik beranto lagi ;)
