aiyo. just read and understand what i said lah. i’m only talking about the motorcyclist being lucky not to be hit by the saab. my point is when motorists hog the right lane, they are putting themselves at great risk from such overtaking incidents such as this. and then you go project that i’m blaming the motorcyclist for the carnage. :s22:
Road hog or not it's subjective depends on the situation of the traffic condition. There's no need to point out lawful road users when there's an outright bad player and mitigate their fault. It's distasteful and disrespectful to those that are keeping others safe and just encouraging bad players to do their worst.

i have the feeling that the saab driver was intending to chiong the red light at full speed no matter what. the brush with the merc was just a side incident. he was already enraged before this. could it be he was so furious with a female partner in his car that he totally lost it? i hope it’s not the JC girl, but if it is her or someone else, i hope he’s charged with murder or attempted murder.

Merc driver upload his dashcam to mothership. Got show his fb name
Most likely trying to clear his own name that he did not chase after that Saab which resulted in the accident. But regardless video does show his egoistic asshole nature by speeding up.

Maybe clear but he still needs to explain this.

not wishing to engage further, but just wish to understand your this statement. who are you referring to when you say “those that are keeping others safe”?

The Ferarri accident on 12 May 2012 was mainly contributed by the speeding Ferrari. But 2 other issues also contributed to the accident:- (1) The original overhead traffic light was removed due to the road construction work at the junction and no temporary overhead traffic lights were available. Only 2 traffic lights on the left and right side of the road was present. (2) The traffic lights that were immediately before (pedestrian crossing) and after this junction were not synchronised and were showing green when the Ferrari sped through. I noticed (1) & (2) while driving along Victoria street after the accident and actually called up LTA to highlight the problems to them but was told it’s not possible to put up the overhead traffic light due to “space constrain” and unable sync the traffic lights as they were different junctions.

Exactly 2 weeks later on 26 May 2012, another Lexus was involved in a serious accident at the same junction in the middle of the night. It was only after this second accident that the temporary overhead traffic light magically appeared quite quickly and all 3 sets of traffic lights got synced

RIP. Too young with bright future ahead but life taken away by some reckless driver. Life can be so unfair and cruel
