How to be an a$$ behind the wheel pt2

4. Know your car. There's no point of you shifting early in hopes of 1. overtaking and 2. saving petrol. For 1, you need to see ur car's specification sheet to see where the maximum power comes in. There's no point in shifting early before the power kicks in, nor is there a point in shifting AFTER the power kicks in. If and when possible, just press the accelerator when you feel like overtaking. Don't bother about FC or what not. No one really does bother about that anyway. And if you want to save petrol, call a cab, or take a bus. Don't drive lah ! For what you want to drive AND save petrol? It just won't work.

5. Driving a big car, let's say AT LEAST a Waja sized sedan, should allow you to flash other drivers out of your way. Let's say you're driving on the highway in the center lane, then there's this b@$t@rd in front of you that is going so damn slow. Flash your Highbeam to push him out of the way. No need to overtake from the left or right. Just flash him. Chances are, he will move aside. If not, tailgate him. Be very careful as you tailgate him, as he might floor the brakes and you can guess what will happen. I take no responsibilities whatsoever.

How to be an a$$ behind the wheel

First and foremost, I do not condone being an ass behind the wheel. You are responsible for all of your own actions, not me. And here goes.

1. See the damn Kancil/Kelisa/Saga in front of you hogging the right hand lane? Tailgate it as close as possible. Keep your revs up, and maintain your distance with the nut in front. Flash your lights if possible to get him/her out of your way. Do note however, that this works better if you drive at least a 3-Series or a C-Class. Anything lower means you will need to work much harder.

2. Constantly shift your gears at 5000-6000rpm. Well, if you drive a diesel, max out at 4000rpm. For autos, just press the accelerator. Don't complain to me about wasting petrol, because, if you want to save, you can take the bus/taxi. Do more in small residential areas, just for the heck of it. Those with 3 cylinder engines (Kancil/Viva) need not apply. The noise is horrible. Those with silky smooth straight six or straight 4 should fare better.

3. Defeat the guy next to you at the traffic light. It doesn't matter what he/she drives, just press the accelerator hard when the light turns green. Watch his face, if not, be prepared to get smoked. Would be better if you can smoke those darn Wiralutions or Wajalutions.

Will add more if I can think of more.
