Anyone beaten a kurang ajar truck / bus driver?

Share some experiences.

A couple of days ago in Bayan Lepas traffic jam, I jump queue moving onto opposite lane. Ok, I am not saying I am sane and not wrong at all, I have no problem admitting I am wrong. Anyway, majority of Penang drivers, or Malaysian drivers jump queue.

Opposite lane very light traffic, 3 lanes width. A factory bus came speeding from opposite lane and purposely swerved directly to my direction threatening head-on collision at speed, and swerving out at the very last seconds. The opposite is totally empty but he chose to do that.
I made a U-turn to chase, but forced to stop by girlfriend.

I was so p*ssed off, that I can't sleep that night. No joke.

Its not a good idea to get into fight in crowded traffic jam using weapon, you could either get beaten up real nicely, or if you beat them up nicely, everyone sees you, knows your number plate. Either way its problem.

So, the best thing is, you guys can think about it, if you see any such incidents, of factory bus road bully, STAY CALM.
But tail them all the way without them noticing. Tail them all the way till their last stop, probably already 8pm at night. You can either -

- These drivers may park the bus somewhere and ride their bike back home (probably they ride bike).
You can either crash into their bike when opportunity arise (I mean not much vehicles around) or tail them all the way home and know where they live.
The best thing is to know where this type of drivers live, while they do not know that somebody tailed them all the way home.

Feel free to PM me.

Do you replace Vios 09 suspension bush?

Hallo all,...

Looking for fellow Vios owners to share some input.

I am feeling that on coarse road, the underfloor structure bone noise is pretty bad.
And going over ridges, the vibration is bad.

It could be partly due to worn out bush? (It could also be caused by chassis foaming done a year ago, or combination of both factor).

I want to know, do you replace suspension bush? I do not know how the suspension system is like.
But when I checked with Toyota, they said the this part do not need replacement, only when it is broken, and if there is no "parts broken" sound means it is ok.
And they said the cost is more than RM 1000.

How many bush do you have in the suspension parts? Is there any particular joints with rubber bush mainly used as vibration absorbtion (thus reducing structure bone road noise in coarse surface)?

Your opinions and advise is much welcomed. Thanks.
