yah...dats a sharp bend...Originally posted by eric3417:My rear spun out of control & skidded left, right, left before 360degrees follow by hit side kerb and abit of the protective barrier.
It was on Wed morning abt 10:30am drivin from woodlands ave 2 entering SLE / BKE. Lost control during the cornering upwards to the SLE.
Sigh. Damage done 2+k in repairs. Forget that my tyres inherited from previous owners are neither performance tyres nor wet weather tyres as it started drizzling around 10:25am. (Somehow or rather maybe still tink i'm drivin my previous MRS whereby i usually eats such corners for bKFAST.)
Juz maybe post this as some form of warning to fellow cars drivers who also takes this route to be abit careful. Heard that this corner is pretty high accident hit rate. Myself another casualty but also abit my fault for drivin too fast without thinking.*Lucky all 3 passengers safe & sound* Phew!!!

Bro,Originally posted by 2004Lancer:i have only 1 first and last thing to say:-
CAR INFRONT -> DON'T BRAKE SUDDENLY KNOWING THE TRAFFIC ARE HEAVY AND CARS ARE TAILGATING BEHIND U CLOSELY!!!
CAR BEHIND -> DON'T TAILGATE KNOWING THE FRONT IS PILED UP WITH VEHICLES!!!
IT IS REALLY [NO HARM!!!] KEEPING A SAFE DISTANCE.....IF SOMEONE CUT INTO YOUR LANE (ALWAYS THE CASE) INTO THE SAFE DISTANCE AREA, COPY DOWN HIS CAR NUMBER AND FOLLOW HIM...ROUGHLY KNOW WHERE HE LIVES LEOW AND GOT CHANCE TAKE LEAVE ONE OF THESE DAYS AND SCRATCH HIS CAR.....
NOT HAPPY SAY!!!!![]()

gd adviceOriginally posted by ShutterBug:Tailgaters can tailgate me all they want. When traffic is heavy in front of me, I will keep 3 to 4 car lengths. Or slow down until tailgater over-takes.
Before braking, I would always turn ON hazard lights for 2 to 3 seconds, indicating slowdown in front so that tailgaters or traffic behind me is alerted. To shake off tailers, I would purposely switch into a lane or get behind large and slow moving trailer trucks or lorries. This usually spoils tailers "fun", and they go away. Or, if there is NO traffic in the middle lane, pull out to the center lane suddenly and jam brake. This causes the tailer to over shoot me, and I cut back into the left lane directly behind the tailer. Of course keeping good distance.
May i ask what car? SOunds like a RWD to me. Cos my accidents all similar.Originally posted by eric3417:My rear spun out of control & skidded left, right, left before 360degrees follow by hit side kerb and abit of the protective barrier.
