C2PID drivers on the road

Driving on Malaysian roads can be a challenge. Maybe not as challenging as driving on roads in China, but we come a close second. I managed to shoot this scene at the junction of Bandar Tun Razak and Taman Connaught overhead pass, just before the lights turned green on my lane.The car highlighted by the yellow arrow decided to create it's own turning lane, oblivious to the fact that all three row of cars would be turning into a lane and the half. Yes - 1.5 lanes thanks to the wisdom of our road planners. And there was this motorcyclist from God knows where, going against traffic, trying to get to hell fast. This is one S.O.B. who deserves to die a gory death on the road.
When I cropped and expanded on the 3 rows of cars trying to turn right - 2 of them have outstation plates. The QKU car (from Kuching??) even had his child seated in the front passenger seat with the (presumably) mum and no seat belt. The Perak plates (AFY) is the one creating his own turning lane.

This may be somebody's grandfather's road, but I am sure as hell it is not theirs.
