In this video, The Suzuki Swift driver is driving on a downhill course along South Buona Vista Road, also known among the driving community as as 99 Bends or "Gao Zhup Gao Wan" in Hokkien.

Watch the video here:

The driver loses control after a long left curve, which has a decreasing radius that requires drivers to slow down.

As seen above: Speed regulating strips to tell the driver to slow down.

The Suzuki Swift seems to be catching up to the car infront, but it lost control at the end of this curve, then skidded and crashed into the barrier just opposite the bus stop.

We hope the driver is okay - and please drive with care next time. Thankfully, there were no pedestrians nearby.

Driver was heard saying,

"stupid car in front fault lah. He drive so slow, I had to slow down and not enough heat in my tyres to get the grip and that's why I crashed. If only no car and I went faster I would have been OK."

:D

Need additional attention in the strip of road, especial in the night. This strip is more for skill and not speeding!

the camera car also following very closely too in order to show us the footage! so either all speeding down the slope or all driving within 99 bend speed limited then the Swift driver just lousy? 

so which one huh? cameraman you speeding down the slope too?!!?!? LOL :D

Then back to Tyres question, Suzuki Swift is such a small nimble car, to crash like this likely using non mainstream performance Tyres!

Noob. Earlier downshift with rev match + left-foot braking with balanced throttle through the decreasing radius corner might have saved his ass. Oh well.

No need all lah. Just put a piece of toufu on the dashboard, and it can immediately increase driver skills level to MAX. 😁

  • This should be the true Singaporean national dish

    Singapore is known to be a melting pot of different cultures, races, people and of course, cuisines from all over the world. You can probably find food from most places here in Singapore, but we also have some dishes that we like to think of as our national dish - okay, google says there isn't an officially declared national dish, but Chicken Rice is one of those that's often mentioned. Yes, we all love Chicken Rice, but it isn't really unique to Singapore.... Nasi Lem

    A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t

    In a hyper-connected world, your physical presence is more important than ever

    The advent of apps and the Internet have revolutionised our ability to connect instantaneously. From social media to video calls to messaging apps, our capacity for real-time communication is unprecedented. However, it seems that the more hyperconnected we are online, the further apart we're growing in real life. Experts' Consensus Doctors, scientists, and specialists have all reached the same conclusion: Staring at our devices causes us to drift further apart – a trend I've obser
