Busybody motorists

Yesterday, whilst on the way to Petaling Jaya, was caught in heavy traffic along Federal Highway. After slowly moving, crawling to be exact, I discovered the reason for the traffic jam - tada! - the police was having a roadblock along the motorcycle lane. This was confirmed by a news article in The Star Online - Click here for the article

The roadblock was not the issue but the motorists who slow down, out of curiosity to see what's happening, causing the traffic jam. Better still, on the opposite side of the highway, you guess it, also heavy traffic.

By the way, it must have been pretty 'profitable' for the police, imagine more than 2,500 summonses. Each summon, say worth RM30. Total takings for 4 hour operation = RM75k
