There was a time where Malaysians were very scared to travel via buses due to a streak of accidents caused by various reasons, though the biggest chain of accidents were caused by sleepy night bus drivers who couldn’t keep their eyes open. Some succumbed to the sleepiness while others used unprofessional methods (alcohol) to stay awake, which also resulted in crashes, because d’uh, drunk driving.
Now, a video has been circulating on Twitter taken by Amar Aziz (@amaraziz09) that showcases a bus swerving recklessly in between lanes, without signalling. The worst part was that the bus was a double-decker bus, which meant that the chances of it toppling over due to the swerving would be much higher.
Ok ini scary. Dah la besar, ko melibas macam lembu tak abis kena sembelih. Kalau ko terbalik, hempap kereta lain, maka bertambahlah korban jalan raya. Astaghfirullah….
Tolong twt pihak berwajib.

Amar captioned his posting with, “Okay, this is scary. You’re already big, yet you’re bulldozing through traffic like a cow that’s not been fully slaughtered. If you topple over onto another car, even more lives will be sacrificed. Astaghfirullah. Please tweet the necessary authorities. Retweet to stop the support of road bullies.”
What’s more worrying is the fact that this happened in broad daylight, which means that sleepiness could possibly be ruled out. Hence, what was the driver thinking?
Considering the fact that it’s a double-decker bus, there are even more lives in the hands of someone so reckless. He at one point almost sandwiched a blue Proton Persona against another bus!

This comment says, “You can report to SPAD. There’s a number printed at the back of buses and lorries. Just give details like, number plate, type of vehicle, location on highway, time, bus company and all.”
Amar’s posting has since garnered over 13,200 retweets.
Let’s hope no one got hurt because of that reckless driver.
