shake that tailpipe

before i forget, there was this traffic incident that happened on saturday.

i had just picked up my bro from class, and was on the federal highway heading to KL to get tickets for the Japanese Drum Concert (which were sold out). there was this Honda Civic in front of us and we were on the fast lane.

parked or abandoned on the right side of the highway was some old grey car. that particular stretch of highway didn’t have much curb space either, so it was sticking out a little bit.

this civic was happily maintaining its course, seemingly oblivious to the existence of the other car parked in its way. it looked like they were going to collide but at the last possible moment the civic swerved out of the way towards the left, into the middle lane.

it didn’t end there. the civic didn’t want to be in the middle lane (due to overcompensation), and decided to counterovercompensate (no, u can’t find that in the dictionary) back to the right. it manages to find itself back in the correct lane orientation, but due to the laws of physics, its rear end continues to swing right resulting in a cool “Takumi’s- gumtape- deathmatch- against- the- divider- move”.

so yeah, it was pretty cool. we at the back coolly maintained our distance. 😛
