SINGAPORE — The recent viral video of three men in an unmarked car on Malaysia's North-South Highway, speeding alongside one travelling from Singapore to Genting and trying to pull its driver over, may have had some wondering: what would I have done in such a situation?
Here is what to do if you find yourself in a similar situation on the roads up north, and other tips to stay safe.If you are being pursued by an unmarked car and feel you may be in danger, call the Malaysian Emergency Response Services on 999 immediately, an Automobile Association of Singapore spokesman said.
The AA spokesman said that drivers are advised not to stop their vehicle along any lane on the expressway. If they wish to rest or use a toilet, they should drive off the expressway into the special lay-bys or rest stops along the expressway. If you choose higher speeds, keep a longer distance from the vehicle in front, so that you can brake in time without hitting the vehicle in front if it stops suddenly.Mr Menon pointed out that continuous driving for long hours can be tiring for those not used to it.
"On the North-South Highway, lay-bys are located about every 25 to 50 km along the expressway. Facilities include parking bays and toilets. Rest and Service Areas are located at every 80 to 100 km."Drivers may also encounter stretches without street lights, where one has to depend on vehicle headlights, noted Mr Menon.
