Re: Driving to KL
dun worry bro, have a great holiday, it's much safer in kl than just across the causeway. drive safe n do not road hog, even if u r travelling at 200km/h, LOL..... take the neccessary precautions like going around in numbers, yes, even to the toilets at rest points n avoid the deserted ones. i used to go genting every other month until they opened up a "branch" here.... n i still go jb once a week to lim kopi with friends there. keep a low profile n i always have a spare tyre ready, coz i wun know when i'll need it. of all the trips there for the past 20 plus years, my car's window has been broken n things stolen only once, well, that happens here also, n that was becoz i parked along some deserted lane (kay kiang) as there was no parking space around. but i've been into many near fights there though.....

Re: Driving to KL
Hi bro, it's not as scary as what some bro says just use some common sense.
Get your mechanic to check for normal thing like your oil level, brakes, radiator hoses, tire pressure / tire leaks before long drives.
I would bring:
- tire repair kit thing
- steering wheel lock (most KL cars have one)
- a bottle of water ( for car in case overheat / wash hands)
Drive safe and enjoy trip up. Drove up to Cameron highlands last oct it was quite a nice long drive, but stopped in malacca, KL them CH.

Re: Driving to KL
Bro, good to take precaution but I drive up twice a month for months now and hasn't got major problems so far so relax. Get a repair kit and you should be fine.

Re: Driving to KL
Go nuts and standby RM$50 for fines. I do 200-310kmh. The way to do it is by staying in the car when blocked or stopped, then wind down 1/4 and listen to what they have to say. In half smiling manner, say, "officer, I am sorry, please give me a chance". Then he will say what chance you want and you wind your window lower and leave the Rm$50 on your inner dash (not the top, too obvious) or at the door side pocket and let him take it himself. Reason is, they have anti-corruption forces posing as police now who will give you more hell if you bribe the officers so let him take the money.
Another important question to ask is, any more cameras in front and where is it? Do note that do not work together from state to state so they can provide limited distance onlybutitsusually reliable. Note that Johore highway stretch and second kink are 2 separate operations so you can kena one in Johore and still get another in second link.

They'll plant something in your tires that'll generate lots of smoke when you drive and when you stop toget out of the car, that's when you get it. So drive on!

Re: Driving to KL
If lots of Singapore cars going up, be sure there will be road blocks and speed cameras. Yes, my rule is, I negotiate when booming hotel rooms to let me park in front of the lobby, just pay for peace of mind, and I made friend with the GM oaf the hotels. But that's also cos I give them lots of business. If going Boulevard hotel in mid valley, let me know.
