Hi Sirs

I forgot about the following incident which happened last Sunday on my way to Canaanland Celebration until I stopped at the Tuaran Road-Damai-Sports Complex junction this morning when the traffic lights turned red.

As I was about to stop at the same spot last Sunday, I saw that the car on the next lane was a police car. In most normal circumstances when I stop at any traffic junctions, I never like to glance over to see who are inside the car next to me. But since that was a police car, I thought I had a quick peek.

I discovered that an Indian policeman who was the passenger was actually looking at me. I smiled at him. He nodded and smiled back at me.

After that I pretended to look ahead but could not resist to take another peek. This time round I discovered the driver who was a Malay policeman was also looking at me. I nodded and smiled back. Likewise the Malay policeman returned the same gestures. Both of them looked happy.

Coincidentally this incident happened on the last day of my probation licence and had never happened before in the course of my two years driving.

Since I just mentioned my probation licence, I thought I will digress a bit.

I still have not taken down the P (probation) stickers from the car windscreens yet.

I discover that there is pro and con of still having the P sticker.

Pro - Most drivers generally are more patient.

Con - But some drivers would always be big bullies. When they see the sticker, they automatically assume that they can do anything. For instance, a few days ago a driver was waiting to come out to Kolombong Road and upon seeing the car quickly came out in front of me when I was only two car length away. I would have knocked on the car if I was accelerating.
