All over the world one can find hogs of many breed. The particular breed we are interested in is the Road Hog (Scientific Name "block that freaking road using my fat ass' o' saurus").
While the road hog is a global breed, as luck has it, a specifically virulent manifestation exists here in Kodiang – Jitra road. These hogs probably don't want to offend the local snail population by going a bit faster..
Road Hogs - a prime cause for driver frustration.
Here are some exclusive examples of our local hogs driving our local motorists crazy along Kodiang Jitra road.
1. Talk about a double whammy! Sometimes there were two lorries clogging both lanes on the Jitra - Kodiang road carrying god knows what. The best part was that both of them (loaded over capacity) were trying to out race each other at a screaming 10 KMPH and taking their own good time to do it. These sheer speeds really made us dizzy.
2. There is always a monster carring combine harvester rumbling along at a leisurely pace. It was so large (occupying the lane and a sizable chunk of the opposite lane) and so slow that motorists were scrambling on the pavement to undertake it!
3. Jeez! what century are we in? True, all of us who don't have cars need to get along with our business. But are we going to hog roads at the expense of inconveniencing thousands of the general public? What more, on several occasions Kodiang Jitra Road has witnessed tractors doing complete U turns on major roads at the height of traffic, unfailingly causing a huge stir each time!
4. What the...?! Yes, It's a forklift! Believe it or Not! The wheels of these things especially designed with a low radius to maximize hogging efficiency. Having probably had the pleasure of studying physics at high school, you may be aware that hogging efficiency is inversely proportional to the wheel radius of a vehicle. Thanks to the genius who gave permission to put this contraption on the road. Hold it! Or was it a thief using this as a getaway car? Kodiang Jitra Road didn't stop to ask - quite content that, whatever the reason, this was another job well done in the annals of hogging.
