Who can tt be man??Originally posted by HENG@:wait a minute. I just realised. Its the stretch with a lot of metal plates at Paya Lebar? I drove there b4. Ok I must say, its not actually impossible to speed there, traffic conditons permitting. I know because I know an idiot here who did just that.

Try telling that to oxford mushroom or tt Tomas....Originally posted by HENG@:no body ever said speeding kills. its the sudden deceleration to 0km/h that kills. -
well seeing that the chassis is good I am sure it would handle like a dream if it was FROriginally posted by tailslide:i wish. the teg is also FF configured. -
Integra is FF.Originally posted by nightsky87:LOL. Most cars in singapore are front wheel drive. Sunny, City, Latio, Altis, Camry, etc etc etc are all FF layouts. They will be more likely to understeer than oversteer.. Only a few cars are FR. Evolution, Sti, Integra and a few others..

to be accurate it means heart stop beating. might not be from heart attack. heart can stop beating due to blunt force trauma.Originally posted by dragg:cardiac arrest is a general term for heart attack. -
the red Beemer...Originally posted by so_nice:read this post yesterday and thought it was some kind of joke so didn't pay attention to it. it was until i saw the scans of the newspapers then i know its true. it reminds me of a fren who was killed in her bmw when it crash & caught fire some years back.
what contributes to a road traffic accident? basically poor judgment & unsuitable speed for different road conditions. look at singapore roads & e'ways..the different speed limits has its meanings. those wif a higher speed limits are often those with wider lanes. every tom, dick or harry can drive a vehicle straight on a straight road but when u try going thru a bend wif excessive speed for the road limits, u'll realised there are problems keeping ur car steadily within the lanes. the roads leading towards the circle line sites has a limit of 40 km/h if i'm not wrong & i'm confident that the driver had gone well above that limit otherwise even if u hit the kerb, the vehicle wont haf flipped. i haf driven at that upp paya lebar area before and i noe the conditions there can be alittle tough at times.
yes, nothing wrong to test the car by ramming or shift the gears like a certain tofu driver but spare a thought for the person beside u. be it ur loved ones or the SE, no one wants to be hurt by a chap who over-estimates himself & under-estimates the road condition. one old word, u die urself nevermind but dun drag others into it!
to the driver: there is nothing u can do to make up for it & i really hope u will never get behind the wheels again as u're a road hazard to all. u shall live in guilt for the rest of ur lives.
god bless the poor gal's soul. -

If you were to see on SG roads, the worst type of drivers are those in 20's or 30's that drives European cars. Horning at other cars, flash headlights, speed on highway, (long list)Originally posted by HENG@:HOW is driving a mercedes at 20 considered trying to show off driving skills? -
sorry bro my opinion is diff from yours. The worst drivers I met out there are normally those who drive jap cars (perhaps due to the sheer numbers on our roads). Yes they treat their Vios, Altis and Lancers like rally cars and let's not talk about them trying to master the art of tailgating. No offense to drivers of the above models. But I suppose there are blacksheep for every brand of cars.Originally posted by sbst275:If you were to see on SG roads, the worst type of drivers are those in 20's or 30's that drives European cars.

But usually are the European cars that I have met so far... Signalised crossing that is to the person, they still just dash across, not giving way -
Ya thats true. But if you look at it from another point of view, conti car, jap car, the driver is still a singaporean, right? The important thing is to educate the drivers.. to be responsible. So many of us see accidents along the highways, etc, but how many of us actually stop and think? Most of us assume that it wont happen to us because 'our driving skills confirm much better than that loser.. crash a camry somemore sia!' or something to that effect, but the fact is that road accidents can happen to anyone and everyone if we're not alert.Originally posted by KangZ:sorry bro my opinion is diff from yours.

Whenever I see accidents, I will think 'That could have been me...' or 'That may be someone I know.' I dun believe seeing a horrible accident won't affect u in any way la, coz we are drivers too (nope I am not from Mobil haha).Originally posted by nightsky87:Ya thats true.

If i was the judge i will sentence him to life-sentence
Why?
1. Driver did not take Mazda TestDrive Route
2. Driver did not only kill Salesgirl but injuried another 5 in a BMW 3 Series. A child was even in the BMW.
The question now is would the driver admit what happen in drive.
1. How fast was the car before accident?
2. What was happening?
3. Was it because the salesgirl disturb him and made him not consentate on the road as she was rushing off for a wedding dinner?
4. Why did he not take the Mazda TestDrive Route? -
From the pictures, it can only be said that the car was going at break-neck speed and only a moron would speed along paya lebar road especially with the roads laden with metal plates and wif multiply twists and turns.
it's not a matter of whether it's a jap or conti ride...it's the one behind the wheels that counts....., u may be in your late teens or even very matured but if you got the wrong mindset and attitute behind the wheel, an accident's juz waiting to happen.
pity the SE to lose her life..., can u imagine....., she was subjected to such a trauma / fright that she suffered a cardic arrest and died even if it had not been injuries sustain from the accident.
you can always jail a man for the wrong that he does...., but that will not remove the pain that the affected family's gonna live with........sigh...another life lost..... -
we cannot allow another accident to happen lah...the next troublemaker who loses control of his vehicle and langa shall be severely punished...u can spot many instances where accidents are just waiting to happen

1. Driver did not take Mazda TestDrive Route
The salesgirl must share some responsibility in this field since she got lost. Besides, she could always say no to other road alternatives.
2. Driver did not only kill Salesgirl but injuried another 5 in a BMW 3 Series. A child was even in the BMW.
You must include other attributes that lead to the accident as well (i.e. metal-platings, road conditions, traffic and the BMW which was reportedly changing lanes recklessly).
The question now is would the driver admit what happen in drive.
You mean he would deny that he crashed the car? The news papers already exposed him and you guys in the forums are already throwing acid bottles in his face before he could even admit.
1. How fast was the car before accident?
He was travelling well within the speed limit. There is NO evidence that he is speeding at any point of time or given situation.
2. What was happening?
If you do not even know the answer to this, how the hell did you come up with your verdict?
3. Was it because the salesgirl disturb him and made him not consentate on The road as she was rushing off for a wedding dinner?
Same answer to question 2.
4. Why did he not take the Mazda TestDrive Route?
The salesgirl was lost and please take into account that he might be totally clueless about the standard Mazda TestDrive Route. Anyway, it is also the responsibility of the salesgirl to instruct the customer regarding the directions and routes.
