A driver's guide to the galaxy - part deux

Over the past 3 weeks..i've been studying the random traffic from USJ to Jln Duta..and based upon a book called Chaos Theory..those traffic jams are not random..there are patterns...and if I look close enough...I can beat the system..I mean the traffic...there are just couple of variables to be considered like time, lanes, traffic lights and heavy vehicles..not to mention the accident at the roadside and causing the chain effect to the rest of the traffic...it's like
malaysian are astonished or marvelling the accident around them...or just ppl changing tyres...
Below are my foundings...not that many but close and good enough to be used..
1. The road from USJ heading to the NKVE USJ tolls...huge traffic..but stick to the right lane before 'pancuing' to the left..given it's a green at the front of the right lane..shud be smooth sailing
2. When exiting the Jln Duta toll..given a smartag user...do not use the right lane..it's a no brainer...everybody is targeting the most right smartag booth..wrong...choose the most left booth beside the TnG booth..it's the least used...but given there is no idiot coming up with his/her own lane..so you'll experienced 5 queues with only 3 booth...but still the left booth is the best bet..human are just sheep with slight brain advantage...they will all go to the right lane...(it's just like a study I read previously of the urinal usage in
public toilet...if the 1st person goes to the most right urinal....the 2nd person would go to the most left urinal...it's predictable)
3. After exiting the toll...choose the lane directly below the sign ' jalan duta'..it's sorta the middle lane..slightly slower than the rest of the lanes..but optimally the easiest route...coz no need to change lane at the junction heading to pahang or something...and also at the junction heading to PBD...so no hassle giving signal if malaysian ever do...and easier to manual trans car...no gear
changes...
4. Heading back to USJ...i'm better off with LDP than NKVE...it's
chaos betw damansara to subang...with lorries suddenly appearing from
the woodwork...exit to Federal Hiway in Motorola..stick to the left
lanes..nobody uses it...The trick here is to switch lanes at the most optimum time and area....not randomly changing based upon the current situation...chaos Theory says...in every random act..if one see closely..a pattern will emerge..ok not a direct quote but close...plus i've got nothing to do
while driving..the radio is broken..keep forgetting to bring my ipod...so I spend my time observing traffic...it's kinda amusing.. I did this observation while travelling up and down all the way from putrajaya to bandar utama almost 2 yrs ago...my 2nd job...ukur jln LDP everyday...

Hahaha...good theory. Btw, since you've got the time. Why not try your theory from Tmn Keramat AU2 to Shah Alam sec15? Just wanna see whether your findings jive with mine. :-)

Yeen: teori tak teori jugak, tapi macam ada jugak certain trick la jugak... masa part ni kena cilok sana... part ni kena cilok kiri... for aku yang "lady driver" mengalahkan lady ni... 2008 memang improve with jalan! ha ha

screwed? interview tu ker?
