众所周知，马来西亚公路意外的频繁率是很高的。
每逢车流量增加时（黄金假期期间，如开斋节、农历新年等），交警就会总动员，在各地加紧防范，特别是在大道捉超速的车辆（operasi），希望因此而降低车祸率。然而，效果如何？
老黄因为长期在路上奔驰，发现我们的公路设施其实存在着许多的陷阱，分分钟会造成车祸意外的。
其实老黄早就有意图文并茂给大家报道，并吁请大家留心的。不过，一直没有付诸行动……惭愧！
今儿看到一则信息，政府成立了一个公路安全研究机构（Road Safety） Research Body），专司留意国家的公路安全，并拟在4年间将公路意外降低五成。这是好的构思，希望有关当局积极行动，减低我国的公路意外。

Malaysia's Road Safety Research Body Starts Operation Tomorrow
By Alan Ting
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 2 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (MIROS) goes into operation tomorrow, almost 20 years after the idea to have a road safety research body was mooted.
Set up with an initial grant of RM50 million, MIROS is headed by the country's renowned road safety expert Prof Dr Radin Umar Radin Sohadi as its director-general.
MIROS, which will conduct various research on road safety with the initial aim of reducing road deaths by 50 per cent in four years, will operate from temporary premises on the second floor of the Ministry of Transport in Putrajaya.
It will move to the permanent location on a 16 hectares land provided by Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in Serdang once the building and facilities such as the simulator, test track and crash test apparatus are ready.
The decision to establish MIROS was announced by Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy during his official visit to Sweden in September last year.
Road Safety Department Director-General Datuk Suret Singh said MIROS would be the first road safety research institute in Southeast Asia and the third in the Asia-Oceania region after those in Japan and Australia.
"MIROS will be linked to other top research institutes on road safety. These top institutes have agreed to have cooperation and collaboration with MIROS, including access to their various research data," he told Bernama.
Suret Singh said MIROS would be linked to the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB); Dutch National Road Safety Research Institute (SWOV); Transport Research Laboratory, United Kingdom; French National Institute For Transport and Safety Research (INRETS) and Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI).
"It's a dream come true for us. This is because, all this while, we only conducted research on an ad hoc basis and confined to media campaigns. However, with MIROS, we will be able to achieve more desirable results as there is a body that conducts various research on road safety on a full-time basis," he said.
He said MIROS was established as part of the government's four-year master plan for road safety (2006-2010) which outlines nine strategies with 52 programmes to reduce the accident rate by more than 50 per cent -- that is to reduced the deaths resulting from road accidents from the current 4.2 deaths per 10,000 vehicles to two deaths per 10,000 vehicles by 2010.
"On average, we have 6,000 deaths per year and in four years time (2010) we have to reduce this by at least half (3,000). It's a momentous task for us but we believe we can do it," he said.
Suret Singh recalled that the idea of having such an institute was mooted almost 20 years ago, adding that in 1990 an attempt was made to have a chair on road safety at UPM funded by the private sector but the financial crisis put paid to the plan.
MIROS director-general Radin, who was UPM Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and International Affairs) until last month, has been largely involved in conducting research on road safety in the country, and his expertise has been often sought by the government and agencies.
Radin told Bernama MIROS would have four areas of research -- Vehicle Safety, Traffic Engineering and Planning, Human Behaviour and Trauma Management -- with each unit of research headed by a director and between five to 10 researchers.
"We would have simulator, test crash facilities and other facilities for the research. MIROS will also have access to world-renowned publications and up-to-date data on road safety," he said.
Radin said MIROS would also focus on post- trauma management such as Trauma Care Research, Injury Epidemiology, Medical Fitness, First Response and Post Injury Rehabilitation.
"With this, we hope for better management of our accident victims and more focus on the accident victims' rehabilitation programme," he said.
He said MIROS' performance would be guided by 15 key performance indicators and that its establishment would benefit not only government agencies but also the private sector such as vehicle manufacturers in terms of designing safer cars.
Radin said MIROS would eventually be able to export its expertise as the institute would have the advantage of conducting research that is more suitable to the environment in this region.
"Other research institutes focus heavily on cars, heavy vehicles and driver behaviour which are more associated with the developed countries. Here, in Malaysia, we have quite a large number of motorcyclists and any research on this aspect is more appealing to the countries in this region which have many motorcyclists as well," he said.
Moreover, Radin said, Malaysia is known internationally as one of several countries in the world that has conducted research on road safety and this would put MIROS in a better position to export its expertise.

路上有那么一个坑洞并不奇怪，但是在车水马龙的路面上有那么一个坑洞，可就潜伏着危险了！老黄 wrote: 其一：坑洞
驾车人士一定知道，见到路面上有那么一个坑，自然的反应必然是——闪！摩多骑士闪，车子也闪，意外可能就此发生。

坑洞那么小，没有什么大碍吧？
那就看看这个，是在路中央哦。
不要说是车子闪避才出事，摩多骑士如果驾得稍快，撞下这坑洞，也要闹个人仰马翻呢！
更糟糕的是，像现在雨季的时候，坑洞里填满了水，谁看出这是一个那么深的坑？

摩托车其实很方便，只是大家都说“皮包铁”不安全。
除了人为的因素以外，环境也是造成车祸发生的原因之一。
还有，一些道路从新铺上沥青时，没有铺到道路的边边，所以，旁边的部分是“新旧两共存”！
这其实很危险，因为摩托车就是走在边边，时高时低，轮胎自然就会打滑，一不小心就翻车了。
铺新路对摩托司机来说，未必是一件好事哦！

老黄上面所言，是道路日久失修之错，但是一些新的道路，却也制造了杀人陷阱，就叫人质疑有关工程的效率。
柔霓所说的“新旧两共存”是一个例子。
另外一种情况是这样——
这条路可是刚铺好的，可是中间怎么有个坑洞？
仔细看看，原来……
