almost 9 mths of driving and 2 $150 bonus later, i finally had my 1st vehicle breakdown.
was orientating a new tpt sup on the minibus when it broke down at TPE exit before jalan kayu, and of 3 lanes, it had to be at the second lane. and it was a horrifying experience.
because it's damn near the exit from SLE, there was so many cars lah. couldn't even get out of the vehicle to put the triangle sign. and also the fact there was an accident involving 2 trucks at our back.
all we could do was wait for the towing truck to come and also the EMAS to come. another thing was that cars at the back for some reason for another was still speeding and trying to cut lanes when they saw the minibus. some had to jammed brake and stopped just in time behind before waiting for the chance to cut lane.
and after like 30mins , the emas finally came and helped to pushed the minibus to the road shoulder.
turns out some pipe from the coolant had burst and now there's water in the engine. so the minibus is most prob getting condemned. what is irritating is the fact that the minibus only just came out of the workshop less than a week ago.
