This Hyundai driver's sluggish lane change caused an unnecessary chain collision

This Hyundai driver's sluggish lane change caused an unnecessary chain collision

As drivers, I am sure we have met our fair share of annoying drivers on the road who switches between lanes either without due care or simply because of their indecisiveness. 

Here's a perfect example of an annoying driver that falls in both of these categories:

Where And Who Were Involved?

The accident happened along Ang Mo Kio Ave 10, just across Townsville Primary School. 

In total, two cars (a BMW X5 and a Hyundai Avante) and one motorcycle were involved in the accident.

What Happened?

Initially, the Hyundai Avante was travelling on the left-turn only lane. It then changed to the next lane, to be positioned right in front of the cam car. 

Wanting to filter left towards Bishan Road, the Hyundai driver decided to change back to the left-turn only lane after several cars passed by it.

For unknown reasons, the Hyundai driver took his own sweet time to complete his lane change, and this was where tragedy struck.

The BMW X5 who was travelling at a relatively fast speed, could not stop in time, causing it to smash into the side of the Hyundai Avante. 

Following this, a motorcycle travelling directly behind the BMW X5 also could not react in time, causing it to smash headfirst into the rear of the BMW SUV, literally.

Looking at the image above, can I say that all the lane switching involved was entirely uncalled for?

Regardless of which lane the Hyundai was in, he could eventually turn left if he had the patience.

Kudos To The Biker Bro

Despite receiving the brunt of the impact from rear-ending the BMW, the motorcyclist made an effort to check on the other parties involved in the chain collision.

Good on him for that!

Who's At Fault?

This accident will undoubtedly pose a challenging case for the insurance companies involved to determine the party/parties at fault. 

Reading the comments, the public had mixed opinions on the party at fault, which included:

(a) The Hyundai was at fault; 

(b) The BMW was at fault;

(c) Both the Hyundai and BMW were at fault; and

(d) All parties involved were at fault.

What do you think?

All matters aside, regardless of who is at fault, I wish all the parties involved a speedy recovery!

This stereotyping is somehow relatable.

Let this be a lesson learned.

Agree with you on this. Sometimes being slow can pose more of a hazard than being safe!

after replaying the video several times and checking the time gaps i think the avante waited around 5 secs after the last lorry passed before making a move which i think its a bit long but he did signal so the x5 should have noticed and anticipated a sotong driver and not come in at such a high speed, probably didn't even notice the signals, and the poor biker also assume it's all go so that's my assessment.

Ah, that stretch, drivers are quite fast on the straight and cannot brake in time if this happens.

That's why I go quite slowly and get scolded by wife all the time :XD:

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
