A full investigation has been ordered into an accident that occurred on the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), when two cars collided apparently due to confusing, overlapping yellow and white markings on the road, said Malaysia’s Works Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi.

I see the video it looks more like the driver of the black car over-reacted, then over-corrected... if it was due to confusing markings the car would drifted over more gradually.

Anyway the driver lacked situational awareness and fail to check blind spot.

There are many roads in rural areas in Malaysia with faded road markings and you just have to not make sudden moves, signal well in advance and observe the cars in front of you. Since the lane is uncertain.

Even in SG there are a number of roads poorly maintained and the marking has faded. Have a look at geylang road for example.

Here such accident likely to be property damages. Over there such accident can be fatal.

here they are, as usual, monitoring lah, if they are asked; and they will probably throw a bunch of figures to justify the continuing of monitoring......

Even Johor bahru right after kastam, the highway lines are quite faded. I remember driving for a few hundred metres of zero line markings on a foggy rainy afternoon. Just keep straight, and give some spacing to the left and right and stay in the center.

he was misled by the road marking , and over reacted when he realised that he was too close to the white car, the rest is history.
