Out of the 4 states we covered in 2023, which has the best driving roads?
What makes a good driving road?
We have been documenting the best driving roads in the past 10 years, and we have come to realise that there are certain ‘ingredients’ a stretch of road must have to make it an entertaining, driving centric experience. Which would appeal for driving enthusiasts.
The first thing is traffic. When you want to stretch your ‘driving legs’ and your favourite 4 or 2 wheel toys. Because you want to drive or ride at your own pace without obstructing or being obstructed by others. Plus minimising interactions with other vehicles also drastically increase the safety of driving / riding.
Where are they?
We have documented over 100 such roads across Peninsular Malaysia alone, outside of Ulu Yam and Genting Highlands, which we have shared on our website, on our various social media channels and of course feature as much as possible during our drive events. In 2023 alone we covered 40 of these routes in our drive events.
And the Winner Is....
In our own experience, we have to hand the win over to Perak. Most of its rural roads are in far better shape than the ones in Pahang. Despite experiencing similar weather and built across similar terrains, the roads in the Perak heartlands are far kinder to low profile tyres than they do in Pahang.
