Very Suay but abit lucky as well!

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!!!

woooo bro...
careful wor......
-
just saw an accident on the way back home...
upper serangoon road, outside serangoon junior college...
i think a car must have lost control or failed to brake... hit into the backside of another car... damage is quite serious... and i think after that, the driver swerve off and mounted onto the left kerb and head on into the road sign... i think quite bad... but no one is hurt i guess...
-
These few days keep rainin tink got to be more careful.

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!!!! -

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. -

anyway i go thru that raod everyday since i work in woodlands....
u all heard rite that Woodlands ave 2 is the stretch of road that has the most accidents in Singapore last year....
Now u say i better slow down when i appraoch the road man, i always go fast in that road....cos i new car i think i damn stylo...need to tone down man....i always tell myself to go slow but my 'need for speed' ego gets the better of me sometimes hahaha -
Yah loh...... Previously while drivin my MRS also have the same shiok feelin when goin fast round the corners.
Lesson Learnt. But i think after sometime will do it again. In my blood leh. But this time with a coil upgrade and performance tyres on YES - (Dry Road).
