Can you guys pay a little bit attention along this road ?
Why follow so close to the vehicle in front ?
This road is full of accident , u all know ?
All due to cars following too close .
One car brake , behind bang! bang! bang!
So pls la , saw & heard so many accidents surrounding that area , learn from it , on why so many accidents ?
How to avoid ?
Avoid lane 1 and keep a 4 cars length at all time , the road is slippery type , dunno why , cars dun seemed to be able to brake in time .
Just alone last week , i saw 2 Sonatas involve in a chain accident .
Apparently , one sonata looked like trying to filter out into Lane 2 , and when the vehicle in front jammed brake , he could be looking at left mirror while filtering , and bang !
I hate using the PIE especially to airport.
Anywhere I take calls to AP along Tanglin or Orchard area, I always use the ECP.
Could be longer but definitely smooth & fast to AP.
It is the same to all expressway. Just keep a further safe distance and you will not regreted.
There was once when I kept this distance in KPE, some cars filter into my lane infront of me resulted the Subaru WRX (guessed must be a normal impreza nia) look-a-like horn at me. Ha, I go slower see what he do... He filter to the left and stare at me and zoom pass me. what to do? let him do whatever he like... sooner he still have to brake behind another car...
I also wanted to share an experience here that there were 5 cars chain collision just infront of me at AYE. I was the 6th. I escaped!
I think PATIENT is the key factor.

Lucky u. If not, claim ownself. kns
for me, i feel even more safe travelling up north on my bike
than in sg...... :P
yes... eunos flyover and paya lebar flyover... hot spot!
Just now , Ken Teo sms me : " PIE twds AP , Eunos 5 cars accident , same spot ."
Not again ... i reacted .
Why must this fucking location always chain accidents ?
U guys got go and think about that ?
It could happen to you .
So go and think why ?
If LTA , if u are peeping at this .....
Don't you think u should spent some money , maybe peanuts to you , a few new sign board ,
That reads : " Accident area " ( Singapore drivers need 4 signs at least )
Or
" Pls keep 4 cars length at any speed .
If u can spent so much money to tell drives their speed ( digital speed detector ) , at non -accident prone area , this money is so much worthwhile to spent on .
Those sign board i meant .
I drove past this road almost coming 20 years , always the same crap . No change , cos LTA & TP never make an effort to educate stupid ignorant drivers , on the danger of this stretch .
Insurance companies also must pressure LTA or TP to put some effective education tools to educate those blur like fuck drivers in the danger .
LTA & TP should have those datas .
They should react quickly to those problems .
Speed Camera ?
Braddell has got more accidents with camera than now , now less accident .
Fort road also lesser accident without a camera .
Uncle Poolman reject to Camera proposal .
Yeah, fully agreed with Pool.
It is going to make it worst if they put camera at this area, at least double the incidence.
i asked them to put a "no u-turn" sign at my house junction because on the right.... it is a left-turn-on-red approach for the cars..
and ppl always like to u-turn then one car left turn on red then both horn loudly for 4-5 seconds.
their reply......
"From the accident records provided by the Traffic Police, the record indicated the junction of ****************************************** is not an accident prone location.
To improve motorists' driving behavior at the junction, we will seek assistance from the Traffic Police to conduct more regular stringent enforcement at the mentioned location."
okay end of story thank you byebye.
so honking loudly and many near-misses is okay for them. wait for accident then react.
maybe the eunos flyover needs more accidents?
Perhap you should talk to your MP, they carry more weight if they write to them.

knn they idle 1 lar...... :P
wah this place hotspot man!
Sometimes accident too severe they have to close the whole stretch so everyone exits at Paya Lebar. Jam can tailback till Toa Payoh when that happens.
Fortunately i use that road during off peak most of the time lol.
If got choice.. use Bartley Rd East... :)
peak hour so many cars...how to have 4 car length distance.....best is dun drive so fast...........
the problem with this eunos accident area are all caused by 1km ahead-Bedok reservoir/Bedok nth rd exit!
cars going at top speed at 1st lane zoom up the slope after PIE Eunos exit & then cut into left lane trying to exit at either bedok reservoir & bedok nth rd.
then cars behind start to brake hard & this pattern keep followed thru till back to eunos side,but due to the fxxking slope those cars can't reacted to the sudden braking in front
and then......bing bang biang ##$@%^&^%$##!!!
always the same old spot,just before the up slope....
pls pls pls,if u are travelling at the 1st lane just before the up slope of this pie spot(just b4 eunos exit towards ap) pls slow down & keep a distance from the car in front,be ready it will e-brake anytime

so peak hour many cars no safe distance ?
U better do so .
If only one car diff , at 60km/h , u'll still hit them .
So many cars , u scared others overtake you ?
Let them overtake la ......
Just that stretch , 4 cars diff , worth it .
Me very slow , still at least 3 cars distance .
Yes, better be safe than sorry.
Anyway, money is difficult to earn for cabbies.
All due to cars following too close <- this ish call tailgating la
Ken teo , if that is the case , let me tell the people .
Listen , if u are exiting into Bedok , u must start to filter in as far as from Paya Lebar . Not after Eunos .
