Almost victim to hit & robbed

> > On Wednesday night 23 May'07 around 11:30pm my wife (driver) together
> > with one of her colleague almost become a victim of hit and robbed gang.
> > Fortunately by the grace of God they were spared. That night Jalan Klang
> > Lama was rather quiet perhaps most of the motorists were either
> > Liverpool or AC Milan fans trying to sleep early then wake up later to
> > catch the Champions League Final on ESPN. Well infact most roads are
> > rather quiet around this hour.
> >
> > Let’s read the real story.
> >
> > Driving home from city and while along Jalan Klang Lama (near the
> > market) heading towards PJ, they notice a car with 4 guys in it zigzag
> > around them and they continue with their normal conversation and drive
> > normally. When they approach Pearl Point Hotel junction waiting for the
> > light to turn green and being 2nd car on the 1st lane from the left (4
> > lanes road) waiting to turn left into Jalan Sepadu (United Garden) to
> > drop off her colleague at Happy Garden.
> >
> > They kept looking back the rear mirror and side mirror for the zigzag
> > car and no sign of it or any car behind them. Then suddenly a car with
> > very bright light just rammed onto the back and no one came down from
> > the car and they too were stunned of the impact.
> >
> > After hearing from her sister how her friend got hit & abducted and
> > dumped out of the car a week earlier put my wife on high alert and they
> > too become very careful of the situation. They were contemplating
> > whether to get down to assess the damage or just wait and see. All they
> > could see was a very new Proton Waja with bright headlight and very well
> > tinted. When the light turns green the car in front didn't move an inch
> > and this made them worried and all sorts of thing came into their mind.
> > My wife was relief that her leg was on the brake paddle during the
> > impact and the car didn't move forward to knock the front car.
> >
> > Imagine if your car knocks the front car then you have no choice but to
> > come down. She hooted and flashed the headlight for the front car to
> > move so they could get the registration no of the car that rammed into
> > them but that car in front still didn't move. Then a lorry on the 2nd
> > lane next to their car wound down the window to look around.
> >
> > A moment later the front car just moved off and this gave them room to
> > move forward but her colleague couldn't see anything as the back car had
> > such a bright headlight just blinded her. When they turned left into
> > Jalan Sepadu the car didn't follow them but just sped off so was the 1st
> > car.
> >
> > This made the 2 ladies to conclude that the 2 cars or 3 (the zigzag car)
> > could be working together base on these, the zigzag scouting for
> > potential victim, if you are on the lane that suppose to turn left why
> > when the light turns green you don't turn but continue to go straight.
> > And why when you are the first car in a junction when the light turns
> > green you don't move but just stay put and how many of us when met an
> > accident especially when you knocked another car you don't step out
> > unless you have the intention to run away from an accident or up to
> > something.
> >
> > No formal police report were made as no registration number was noted
> > and you know how our police force will respond to this kind of report.
> > So ladies very careful and men too.
> >
> > Here are a few of my suggestion to you if you are in such a situation.
> > Never step down from you car even if it is a genuine accident (of course
> > all accidents are genuine, I'm sure you know what I mean) especially if
> > it is a brightly lit & well tinted car.
> >
> > Just wind down a little of the window and exchange tel no, registration
> > no etc through the little gap of the window or suggest to other drivers
> > to drive to the nearest police station.
> >
> > All drivers out there are already aware of how delicate such a situation
> > is in Malaysia now and no one will be mad with you for being careful.
> > And if you have been sandwiched between two cars and your live is at
> > stake don't worry just bang the front and back car and keep your hand on
> > the horn to escape.

> > Remember you are driving a lethal weapon why not make use of it when you
