Another day, another joker on the road getting what he deserves for his reckless driving.

What happened

In the wee hours of the morning, a Mazda 3 driver is seen driving down Admiralty Road right beside a large garbage truck.

Wanting to filter to his right, the car flashes its right indicator lights to signal its intention. This is when things start to go horribly wrong.

Instead of letting the truck pass, the Mazda driver fails to check for safety and starts to drift to the right.

The weird thing about his behaviour is that he actually slows down right in front of the large truck as his vehicle performs the lane change.

As a result, the car ends up getting hit in the rear by the garbage truck and continues along the road for a while before coming to a stop.

It is unclear if the Mazda driver had hit the brakes on purpose or by accident.

Additionally, the fact that the Mazda kept going after getting hit could mean that the driver did not realise that he had been hit.

A great example of why all drivers die die must have insurance

It is important to note that the Mazda 3 driver carries a P plate, which is a probationary license plate that should be put on display at the top-right portion of the front and back windscreens of new drivers. The plate can be taken down after a year of valid driving experience.

As such, it is critical that all drivers, especially P-platers, have insurance in case of accidents like this.

Annual premiums for car insurance typically start at $850, and the amount that you pay is determined by your age, your occupation, the amount of driving experience you have, your car model, and your claims history.

For P platers and drivers below the age of 27, car premiums are through the roof as insurers deem these drivers to possess a higher level of risk of getting into accidents.

P-platers, no matter the situation, there is no reason good enough to justify driving and switching lanes recklessly. Stay safe out there!

P plates that don't drive in the first year and only after that is more dangerous.

Fortunately, not all P plates are like that because I'm a good example :grin:

  • 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

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 2

    Note: If you’ve stumbled onto this post without any context, do read Pt. 1 here first! It is said that the average person’s music taste starts to solidify early on in their adult lives, and by their early 30s they will begin to say things like “Music was better in my day”, “>insert your favourite artist or genre< is not real music”, something to that effect. Of course, I am speaking generally. With four more years to go till I hit 30, I’d like to think I try to expand my tastes o

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of
