Suay! Involved in chain collision accident

[Sga54g]

If slow moving, I will shorten the gap.

If rain, I will maintain gap becos I had 2 accidents before when I came to a stop for few Secs before 2 diff jokers banged to me at diff place diff time.

 

Both chain accident and both I m the first.

both times I left quite a space between me and the front, prob slightly more than half a car length bah.

It pays to be vigilant.

Yes, it does pays to be vigilant...

Totally agreed~

i thougth chain collision is all claim last car?

 

I think the rule changed Liao.

Now is 1st claim 2nd, 2nd claim 3rd and ..... Etc

 

[Creativeshoot]

yup..nice post.. i am those attitude drivers want to drive real fast..but i realise some buggers like me brake if tailgated even more over too closed until head light cannot see one..so yesterday i brake..the car went left i went left half way late and brake..imagine.. he was so scared until he and i also felt i brake until he and i no idea..so i today intend to be good driver forever...no more fed up brake...if other more worst then him.. sorry ..i confirm claim u.

 

i really like speeding and sorts, but just the road tolerance..sometimes gets to me..so i think road tolerance finished liao..need rest and reset..dun so aggressive la..even wrx or porsche or etc mod..have fun and take car siam car far far if u wanna speed..k

 

i make people bang me in slo mo...i got time... but if u fast and got style, i like..welcome..i give way..otherwise...dun road log.

where got changed?

Thanks for agreeing...

[Subutai]

take video with phone with umbrella, walk all over the cars and close in on the damages... hold for a few more seconds if necessary, dun rush...

[Ben5266]

Wa lau bro, which insurance company was dat.....

:angry:

Mine was Etiqa.

But according to my workshop, it is now standard practice. Front claim immediate back only for all chain collision.

bro, difficult to read your post.

[Moredhel]

bro, difficult to read your post.

 

Why are you wasting your time?

[Kar_lover]

during rain, braking distance doubles..say if u're travelling at 90km/h..the stopping distance is approximately 360ft or 110meters..keep that distance to be safe

 

110m??? No wonder everytime it rains got traffic jam! Please, if heavy rain, drive at 80kmh instead of 90kmh, then 3-4 car lengths enough liao (if u have PS3, FAsym2, S001) otherwise 5-6 car lengths. If die die must drive 90, then add 1 more car length can already.

chain collision usually very complicated.

 

i doubt the TS can just settle with the front taxi. the other 2 cars behind the TS will cite the front taxi's collision as their defence.

 

In short, if i am TS, i will try to argue that his car is stationery prior to the accident.

 

The other 2 cars will try to allude that they banged the TS as the TS already met with the accident with the taxi infront.

 

End of day, BOLA rules will apply. It is up to the TS whether he can prove his car did not hit the front taxi prior to accident.

 

I was involved in a chain accident before. also in TS' scenario. I only allowed the BOLA rules for claim on the condition that my NCD is not affected and no admission of liability on my part..

u're picking bones..the 90km/h is the theoretical maximum speed on the expressway and 110m is the safe distance..if other drivers are at 80km/h the safe distance should be adjusted accordingly to circumstances

Yeah, I also wouldn't settle - I'd be trying to blame the driver behind me.

I've never understood the tailgating culture here....3-4 car lengths is safe at 80km/h....are you farking kidding me???

Come on guys, let us get back to BTT.

 

Recalling 2 seconds rule? It means that at least 2 seconds' distance should be kept between two cars.

 

So, the thumb rule is 1 car length for every 8 km / hr. For 80 km/hr, it should be 10 cars' lenth.

 

For those interested in Mathematics:

 

One car length is about 4.4m. So, for every 8km/hr, a car's length to be kept. How? 8 km/hr = 8000m/3600sec = 2.2 m / second. So, for 2 seconds, it is 4.4m or simply one car length.

I always learnt one car length per 10 km/h

 

Roughly this is 0.75 seconds for recognising hazard and deciding on action

0.75 seconds to carry out action (eg, move foot to brake)

0.5 seconds for margin of error

BTW - this is for a dry road - it's double that distance for a wet one.
