Kuala Lampur, Nov. 24 -- You hear and see it every now and then.

A driver standing by his parked car, looking around in semi-frustration and pressing his horn. He's treating the neighbourhood to an uninterrupted audio blare because there's another car blocking his way.

He horns and horns and horns.

Sometimes the guilty driver who has double-parked and whose vehicle is illegitimately blocking the other car comes out really quickly and all is well.

At other times, not so well. Because, as every Malaysian knows, there are occasions when the offending driver is either occupied or is so presumptuous he thinks the car he's blocked plans to be stationary for a few hours or he simply doesn't give two damns.

In which case you are going to hea...
