Just for the fun of it, yeah!

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Stressed out during a long drive? Road hogs driving you up the wall? The Malaysian government is only too happy to help. The country's first highway drive-in massage parlor opened Monday, with the aim of reducing accidents by easing tense muscles of stressed-out drivers. The parlors will be equipped with automatic massage chairs.

"I hope highway users will use this facility," Works Minister S. Samy Vellu said.

Samy opened the first massage center along the North-South Highway, and said the government was planning to open another center this year.

The North-South Highway is the country's main highway, and stretches the length of Peninsular Malaysia. Hundreds of thousands of Malaysians commute along a web of highways daily, but accidents - and deaths - typically rise during festive occasions when millions leave Kuala Lumpur and major cities during extended holidays.
