Some of us are just impatient people. We can’t wait for others to finish their sentence, we can’t wait for the food to arrive, we can’t wait for our partners to buy their stuff and some of us cannot even wait for the red light to turn green!

Just the other day, I saw this school van at around 6.40am. The van was driving quite fast from behind. I’ve already stopped my car since it was red light. The driver of the van then made a very stupid decision to overtake all the cars at the traffic light – aka, he jumped queue. He stopped right in front of the first car. 5 seconds later, he charged and it was still red light. Oh, and he was carrying a van full of school children.

He was fortunate there wasn’t any car from the other side (the other side is blocked by the tunnel, so it’s pretty hard to say whether there’s an incoming car or not). And he was very fortunate that I didn’t see his number plate.

The same kind of incident happened in Johor last time. The only difference is that the Johor driver wasn’t so lucky. His van was crushed by an incoming timber truck. If not wrong, all the kids died. It was a very sad incident. All these were caused by a single impatient person.

If someone wants to be impatient, feel free to do it without bringing harm to other people. But I think the main question here should be, why must you be so impatient? Learn to take things slowly and move at a slower pace (not telling you to drive 40 km/h on the fast lane though). Remember that impatience kills.
