Volvo driver tests the brand's reputation for safety with haphazard driving

Volvo is pretty renowned for how safe their cars are. The brand’s models qualify for the highest possible safety rating from the IIHS (International Institute for Highway Safety) and there's tons of airbags to protect the car's occupants no matter the point of impact.

Nonetheless, this driver’s behaviour still isn’t advisable.

What happened?

On 1st May at Thomson Road, a camcar was minding their own business when a Volvo V40 tried to merge from a minor road to the major road that the cam car is on. 

It is unclear what was the Volvo driver’s thinking process but it had to be influenced by something (probably starting with A) in order to think this was a good idea.

The Volvo driver went across not one, not two, but three lanes before stopping just in time to avoid kissing the wall and expensive repairs. 

According to the Facebook post, a bus also needed to jam brakes along with the camcar. It’s a shame there’s no audio in the footage because I know it’d be colorful.

The Volvo then drove off without a word, but likely with stained pants. 

Online chatter

Once again, the standards of our driving school are called into question. Others asked if the driver had a license at all.

  • Drunk driver refuses to go hospital after crashing into a tree

    Whatever he drank, it has to be something the servers go “you sure?” upon ordering one. Watch to see why! What happened? A camcar recorded managed to capture footage of a white car while travelling on Adam Road in the wee hours of the morning. 4.15 A.M is not an ideal time to be awake but I respect the hustle. Whoever was in the white car was most certainly not hustling though. As seen in the footage, the car rammed into a tree, cutting down a tree using sheer horsepower (I

    Nissan Qashqai driver forced to queue twice after trying to use bus lane to enter SG

    I have a question: Why do so many of you guys like to go JB during ”long weekends” when all the extra day or two does is give you more time to sit in a jam? Not judging, just feel like I’d turn back after the first hour. This guy had to turn back no matter how long he waited though.  What happened?  Two Nissan Qashqais thought they could cheat the system and decided to use the bus/goods vehicle lane to get a shorter queue in SG during Labour Day.  Howeve

    Robbers target the occupants of a Toyota in JB, leaving a bloody mess

    You might want to reconsider your next holiday destination after this story.    What happened?  3 robbers robbed a man from his car while in front of Teega Suites in JB at the drop-off lobby.   The robbers used weapons such as hatchets and a machete in order to break the Toyota’s windows and harm the victim.  The Toyota was unable to move due to a Honda Civic blocking his way, and an unidentified white car at the back, leaving the victim stuck in the ca

    E-bike YP tries to assert dominance after receiving warning honk for filtering to center lane

    TL;DR - YP thinks he's Him, scolds driver after giving honk for dangerous riding. (To be "Him" is to be a dominant figure, a blooming flower in a garden full of weeds. It's a feeling of euphoric confidence, the type of disposition that only occurs when you leave your opposition cowering in fear.)(The Sporting News) Before this article fully begins, please picture in your head the true blue Singaporean YP.  With dyed brown hair, popular sneakers, swearing in Chinese dialect, and out and abou
