Some forwarded mail... Tashi, you frequent the NS highway amongst the lot of us here... Would you agree?

 

 

Dear TV3 and The Star,

 

I am a frequent user of our North-South Expressway and I have this IMPORTANT experience to highlight and share:-

 

I was driving back to Penang yesterday afternoon (24 June 08) when I saw the unfortunate accident in the opposite direction involving the passenger bus that skidded and overturned at Tanjung Malim. I didn't know that the skidded bus was from hometown Penang untill I watched TV3 news later in the evening and was shocked to learn that the accident took two lives.

 

Now, this is what I need to share:-

 

I am a building contractor with over twenty years of experience and I have been driving my 5 series BMW (latest generation and a dammed solid road holding car) each time

I travelled to KL. Lately, the new extended 3 lanes highway had been opened up for use and since then, I have also been using it quite oftenly.

 

HOWEVER, when I used it each time it is WET, I can really 'feel' that the new road surface is extremely SLIPPERY! To share with some of you, my car comes with a built-in traction control mechanism (skidding prevention mechanism) and you can feel it each time it is activated. Previously, I don't come across this kind of slippery feel except when I drive over a paddle of water at certain speed.

 

>From my observation as a building contractor, the 'wearing course' of the new road surface could be TOO FINE OR TOO SMOOTH and TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for highway use!

The wearing course (top premix layer) mix design for highways should be of minimum 20mm coarse aggregate mix that will give us the required bond between the surface and our tyres. Fine wearing course (14mm coarse aggregate size and below) is only suitable for normal road. (A proper test need to be carried out to determine the mix design of the wearing course).

 

Since the opening of the three lanes highway, I had seen cars skidding in front me or in the opposite direction and approximately 2 weeks ago, one of my friends who is also a frequent user of our NSE, came to share with me about his slippery feeling as well as the many skidded cars he had seen lately.

 

I am highlighting this to TV3 and The Star with the hope that a thourough investigation could be carried out immediately to find out how or what causes the bus to skid. A proper and independent test need to be carried out urgently to determine the design mix of the wearing course. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES.

 

FOR THOSE BCC RECIPIENTS, PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

IF YOU ARE USING THE NEW LANES AND IF IT IS WET, MAKE SURE YOU DRIVE SLOWLY!!!!

 

Regards

It is true, what comes to mind are the 3 colors of roads, the black, the grey and the light brown. I like the light brown colored roads on the hwy, although they are bumpier, but I feel I am getting the most traction, even in the rain. The new ones are what I call the black ones, smooth like fine grains.

 

What made it worst was the Michelin Pilot Power I had, worst tires I had on my Blade. I have the Diablo Corsa 3 now, surprisingly grippy even when brand new, but requires more effort when turning in. I still prefer BT015. Would love to try the new BT016 too.

 

Mark is organizing a Mersing ride this Sunday, meeting at GP Esso at 7am, there are over 10 bikes now with no less than 5 different races of people. Come join if anyone is interested.

[Tashi]

Thank you so much.....

 

Man, the COE is like $1,500 now. With so many cars on the road, why doesn't the gov encourage ppl to ride? Looks like you bought at a good time. I remember I paid only $10 for the COE on my 954, few weeks later, it went down to $1. Those were the good days.

Those scholars in the ivory towers have the impressions tat bikes r still in the smokey smelly age . So they dun wan too much of it on the rds . N i believe they dun wan a mini vietnam or thailand kind of rd scenario here .

 

To them , onli the poor rides bike .

 

N oso their impression of bikers is tat of trouble makers , noise polluters n rempits who form the biggest part of the so called accident rates .
