You would realise that drifting is never/hardly seen in Singapore due to the strict traffic laws that surround us. 

With an exception for motorsports events in a controlled environment, such as Gymkhana, which require drivers to skillfully manoeuvre around various obstacles while performing handbrake turns and drifts to clock the fastest time possible.  

And then this guy shows up: 

What Happened?

This accident occurred at CTE Havelock Road exit.

A car which seems to be a Honda Accord (Euro R maybe?) was seen exiting the CTE tunnel at high speed while performing a 'drift'.

Initially, everything seemed fine until the front-wheel-drive (FWD) car lost traction at its wheels.

As a result, the driver lost control of the car and slammed straight into the wall. 

Do you think the driver performed this 'drift' intentionally? 

Or was it a mere mistake on the driver's part by attacking the bend at high speed?

P.S. For those that aren't aware, front-wheel-drive cars cannot perform conventional drifts like what we see in Fast & Furious.

A very good explanation by our guru. 

I think so too. 

What a savage.
