Wonderful dilemma

In most countries where automobiles and/or other types of motorized vehicle are part of the transportation system, roads usually have signposts declaring the legal maximum speed beyond which motorized vehicles are not permitted to travel.

Supposition:
On a 6-lane highway (3 going one-way, and 3 going the opposite way). Six drivers, each traveling in one traffic lane and going at posted maximum speed.

Outcome:
A massive traffic jam will result.

Questions:
- Would the six drivers be breaking the law (legal, social, commensense, etc)?
- What would you do if you were behind one of those six drivers?

Cheers

If on a small road, two people pass each other, they would say "Nama berita?" If chance be, they would exchange news and their lives would be forever changed. Perhaps even for a little while,that experience may be life changing.

Continue to read Bluetanjong and share your stories...a school on a cliff , lives touched, people changed and memories are richer...a few generations benefit.

I know you too. Greetings from the Land of Hornbills.

Treetings and Congratulations for the nice photos, poetic entries and new thoughts.

We went back to Ulu Limbang and the old Limbang Trading sheds are still there. The logs seem to be the same, in the same river bank, and only the vehicles seem to be bigger and more powerful. The road never seem to change. Time stands still while we, have more grey hair..and of course,a bulging stomach to show for our age!

On the way we talked about Tanjong days and what to put into our blog. Instead of telling each other tales in the hostels, we are now using a new medium - the Internet.

Write more! We are connected thanks to Bill Gates.
