As a motorist, I seriously think that emergency vehicles should by given the priority to be travelling on the centre lane of the expressway and not on the right lane! Now, most of our expressway have only three lanes and to make them travel on the rightmost lane will only add to the time taken to reach the scene of destruction. Reason being, imagine if a casualty is in the leftmost lane and the ambulance is at the rightmost lane approaching, chances that the ambulance driver might miss the casualty as he/she might have those view obstructed by traffic in the center lane! Worse of all, it will be harder for us to give way to them as we only got one lane on our left to filter to instead of two lanes!

I wanted to thank the good Samaritans who helped my old age father when he met with an accident on 31 October (Monday) late afternoon. These people left after my father was picked up by the ambulance, I do not know who they are and I have no means of telling them Thank You face-to-face. I really want to acknowledge their spirit of kindness and at the same time, hoping to share some love and positive vibes around.
