[CONSOLIDATED] Accident in Tampines: Multiple-vehicle collision at road junction, with 8 individuals sent to hospitals

[formula]

You have been talking crap for many pages

The Mercedes can speed up or slow down as he wishes in his own lane

In the highway code, there is no rule that you have to slow down and let someone cut into your lane abrutly

especially someone who did not signal their intent

Actually do you even own a car ?

Others don't give to Saab driver doesn't mean he can ram thru his way. He could jolly well signal his intention and change lane according to road condition.

 

[Forever84]

He still broke the law by speeding.

Everyday also can find u a car speeding in SG but only small handful speed RECKLESSLY n kill ppl

Well, if talking crap were an Olympic sport, many edwm-er would be gold medalist no? But hey, I'm just spreading the fertilizer for thought!

Even if you have the right of way, driving cautiously, but if someone dies in an accident where you're indirectly involved, and it's 100% not your fault, would you still feel remorseful? most decent people would. no?

You are not responsible for the actions of other people

The saab driver could have stopped, or slow down. But he decided to speed and beat red light. It's not like he didn't have a choice.

 

[explorerX]

no doubt, 100% saab fault, but from 9 to 11 secs, did you see the merc speeding up to prevent the overtaking?
then saab side swiped merc and floored his accelerator in an attempt to hit and run.

The 1st kiss was between their egos, but the 2nd accident at the junction was clearly Saab driver's problem, see the Turbo kicked in all the way.

read somewhere the jc gal was a one of top student from Cedar Girls... cld hv been potential scholar. life cut short by saab idiot. i hope her dad makes it through... it was last reported he is in critical condition. can't imagine how the wife is feeling now.

Her dad got spinal injuries, and I pray he can get off the bed by himself.

I have been through similar accident just few months ago.. other car drove into the wrong lane and came head on at my car, both cars smashed total lost and the other other entire front exposed but I was very lucky, just suffered few months of whiplash injuries, and didn't see any blood.. but the trouble and stress really is something no victim should experience.. Everything out of pocket.. Insurance, and TP all no comment.. and I can imagine, the driver who causes the accident can sleep well because he's protected by the law and his insurance company, and victim how?.. all LL suck thumb.. and worse case is.. the driver come out with a sensational and believable story and just got a slap on the wrist.. But victim how? 2 life lost, 1 I hope won't be bed ridden for life.

Why the white Merc need to speed up to 100+ km/h when approaching a junction?

Because merc driver big ego cannot let Sweden brand cut into his German lane

Xia suay you know

 

[relishmalice]

Saab driver hit liao wanted to run away, then was a noob and did not know (or maybe looking at his phone) that there was a traffic light in front

That stretch got humps, strips and many traffic lights and yet these clowns still wanna speed wad

For this case, Saab driver did what most people would not do.

Certainly I wouldn't feel any single remorse. He had a choice to slow down, didn't he?

I started with the first page and somehow it jump next to the last page

Thanks to the videos uploaded by a few, I got a better view and even after that I wouldn’t consider it the fault of the white car

Whatever that happens after the two car run against each other, no reason for the black car to speed into the junction and kill others. He have to face the music alone for pure stupidity and ego

For this case, Saab driver did what most people would not do.

true ah, not illegal no fault of his, no responsible etc etc etc .......even so but let's say for a moment the merc did prevent the overtaking, do you think he rather have 0 part to do with this instead given the fatality? not to mentioned his beloved merc got swiped in the process

 

[TanSG]

any chance saab's brake system got problem, not he purposely accelerate?

Unlikely. Even with brake system failure (eg brake hydraulic fluid leak), the rear brake lights of the car should still come on. In this case, the brake lights of the Saab never came on at all meaning that there was no attempts at breaking/slowing the car down at all

 

[ZaiNan]

Should actually reveal saab driver family members details to shame

These will deter all such pests from endangering innocents sch kids life in future and think twice knn

 

[zoossh]

you never see the countless number of people who are blaming the merc and saying that it was the merc that caused the saab driver to speed, drive recklessly, panic and murder several people?

are you even reading the same thread?

[Jirachi]

People thinks speeding = dangerous immediately.

No.

The reason why speeding is bad is because of the potential damage caused after the drive loses control to the car. The fine one speeding acts as a deterrent just in case things got lost out of control.

On the other hand, slow is also dangerous.

 

[shine0204]

Higher COE$$$, muz speed faster 2 b "worth it". Over-crowded (5-6mil in dot), hot weather, higher GST, make drivers reckless ki-siao kill others.

 

[Wu-Han Clan]

You guys are nuts at putting any kind of fault at any other motorists. In the end it's the saab driver who's stepping on the accelerator pedal. Furthermore after he encountered the merc, there's still a stretch of road to the traffic light. He stepping down the accelerator pedal all the way through the junction is pure intentional and nothing to do with panicking.

you are reasoning with people who tap simplygo.... ofc they will blame the merc

the merc is like red herring.... is shld be a COE toyota altis then the discussion will be focused on bashing the 'conti' saab....

what? you saying that you cannot claim car insurance?

 

[Shion]

power la some ppl here

blame motorbike, blame merc, blame until machiam saab no do wrong

might as well blame LTA for designing and building that road right ?

 

[Jirachi]

Exactly. This chat is just to aim that AMG car.

 

[yesman2978]

that's what I thought so

If accelerator faulty, any driver would have tried to slow down by stepping on brakes right?

You got see brake lights?

and we are are guilty of being evil and all will go to hell for many other things . including our kids , grand kids .

of course we are all guilty of killing other people through our actions if pollution and not stopping others from eating growing fat getting cancer , etc. we let others starve and die because we do nothing at all except care about ourselves around the world..

that is exactly how this argument sounds.
