Tak malu ke wartawan Malay Mail buat kerja macam polis trafik ? Wartawan Malay Mail pada 11 Oktober 2010 telah mengekori bas-bas yang membawa melebihi had laju yang dibernarkan di lebuhraya iaitu 90km/jam. Lebih dari 10 bas wartawan ini “tangkap” , malah ada bas yang membawa hampir 120km/jam. Adakah wartawan tadi menggunakan kereta Lancer EVO atau hanya Proton Saga atau helikopter ?
Secara tidak langsung wartawan Malay Mail ini menunjukkan polis dan JPJ tak buat kerja di lebuhraya untuk mengawal bas dan lori yang bawa laju, betul ke ?

PETALING JAYA: Despite Sunday's Simpang Ampat tragic accident with the loss of 12 lives, express bus drivers were relentlessly speeding on the highways.
When The Malay Mail conducted an observation yesterday afternoon along the North-South Expressway, we found more than 10 express buses blatantly ignoring the 90kph speed limit applicable to them.
While Malaysian highways have a speed limit of 110kph applicable for cars, and not heavy vehicles, the average speed for the monitored buses were between 100 and 110kph.
On two occasions, our team encountered the buses travelling at almost 120kph!
One bus in particular, a maroon Johor-bound Mayang Sari express bus, was overtaking cars from the middle and right lanes at inappropriate speed.
We then decided to overtake the bus and remained in front of it while adhering to the speed limit of 80 and 90kmph. The bus driver responded by first tailgating us, then impatiently overtook us on the left slow lane.
Over at the Nilai interchange, we noticed behind us an almost empty bus belonging to a nursing college harassing vehicles in the middle lane. The bus was speeding over 100kph and gained ground on us quickly.
The irate driver did not hesitate to overtake our team
