[Ahtong]

This is quite common on our roads. One guy wanted to beat the lights while the other fellow moved off the second his lights turned green.

 

Just a reminder for everyone

 

 

[WTF]

One should never takes it for granted that one can just step on the accelarator when the light is in one's favor these days.....

[Watwheels]

I wonder what the taxi driver will say.

[Tohto]

Since the Ferrari accident, I always had a habit of make sure others direction traffic slow or stop before move off when turn green.

[Cba6p]

[Rustyz]

Green light mean proceed with cautious. Drive safe

[Gizmore]

wow... this junction is just outside my house. use this junction everyday.

 

what was the taxi driver thinking.

[Cba6p]

I wonder what the taxi driver will say.

 

he will say it was an accident, not a collision. Hope he's AXA insured...

[Strat]

actually from the video, the taxi is still quite for from the junction..

no way to siam if the taxi purposely want to chiong the red lights..

[Alim]

Taxi is wrong and dumb.

 

But the driver is either stupid or in need to change a car.

[Nullifi3d]

Did he really have to pick up so fast upon green light?

 

And the taxi deserved the injuries he got. Beating a red light.

[Steptronic]

Both had enough time to avoid this accident. Both drivers are dangerous to be on the road. PERIOD!

Yes, this lesson was not learnt either in BTT (wait for atleast 2 seconds after green) or after the Ferrari accident by some of the drivers properly. A couple of weeks ago, at around 11pm, a driver behind me (both for right turn) blew his horn continuously immediately after green. Before green itself he was very very close to my car (inching forward) and no one was behind him. Got off my car with hazards and fu**ed him left and right!

The driver on the camera car also did not notice that the oncoming taxi wasn't slowing and just took it for granted that it was his right of way. You can hear from the engine note that he never paused in his acceleration right up to the moment of impact. Likely that both parties were distracted, sleepy, or something. If either car was alert, yes it would have been avoidable.

Easier said that done - when you are on the wheel. So many distractions - phone call, talking, dreaming ...what not.

 

Just drive slowly, especially on raining day

Drivers are not practicing slow down when approaching junction
