In most cases, a loss of traction is likely to occur when a car negotiates a bend at high speed due to the drastic weight shift in the car's weight distribution. As such, it is never a good idea to negotiate a bend at high speed, let alone overtake at a bend. However, some drivers still do it regardless, such as this BMW driver: What Happened? This incident occurred along Lornie Drive. At a bend towards Lornie highway, a BMW 320i performs an aggressive overtaking manoeuvre. He switches from lane 2 to lane 1, overtaking the cam car from the left. After that, he overtakes a lorry from the right on lane 2. During the multiple lane switches, the BMW went too close for comfort with a motorcyclist in front of it. As a result, the motorcyclist lost balance and fell, rolling multiple times on the road. May I also bring to your attention how the BMW driver diligently used his signal indicators amid all the overtaking action?! Unclear of What Happened Some netizens retorted, voicing out that the BMW sideswiped or bumped the motorcycle's rear tyre, which caused the motorcyclist to lose control. Well, there is a possibility that the situation above could have happened. However, it is impossible to determine from the dashcam video above due to the camera angle. Regardless of the incident, what is important is that the motorcyclist emerged from the incident unscathed. Netizens' Comments And it goes on and on and on.... True.

Tyres are important to any vehicle because they are the sole point of contact between the road and your vehicle. Regardless of the type of tyre equipped, it is always important to drive prudently and refrain from speeding, especially during wet weather conditions. Watch what befalls this speeding Audi on a rainy day: Location The incident location is on the ECP towards KPE (ECP) at exit 14. The image below is what the area looks like during good weather. What Happened? An Audi TT was travelling on lane 1 of ECP at a relatively high speed while it was raining. Due to its speed and the wet road conditions, the Audi sports car lost traction to its wheels, causing it to aquaplane. Within seconds, it spun out of control - it slid across the expressway, from lane one to the last lane. Just when it was about to smash into the railings, the Audi TT gained some traction in its wheels and seemingly executed a well-performed J-turn (out of pure luck). Miraculously, the Audi TT emerged unharmed - WITHOUT A SINGLE SCRATCH. The Audi driver probably used up his entire year's worth of luck. Netizens' Comments Confirm shrink one. I am not surprised if he stops driving after this traumatic experience. NGL, this is the fastest way I have seen someone exit an expressway. How fast do y'all think he was going? ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community. Join us today!

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. Netizens' Comments A very good explanation by our guru. I think so too. What a savage. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community. Join us today!

Let's face it, besides cyclists, motorcyclists are the next 'most vulnerable' on our roads. Unlike cars, motorcyclists deal with a higher amount of risks, such as the risk of losing balance and skidding. Watch this video to see how simple road debris could easily endanger a motorcyclist's life: What Happened? It seems like any other day on the PIE - The traffic was moderate, roads were dry, and the weather was great, with ample visibility for motorists to have a clear sight ahead of them. As the cam car travelled along lane 1, two motorcyclists passed him by lane-splitting between lanes 1 and 2. Here's where a keen observation is required: After the first motorcyclist travelled quite a distance from the cam car, he was observed to have performed a subtle evasion manoeuvre to avoid a piece of debris in between lanes 1 and 2. The second motorcyclist passes the cam car just then, and he is not so fortunate as the motorcyclist before him. The Fall As he could not spot the debris and react accordingly, he ran over it at high speed, which caused his motorcycle to jerk up mid-air. Upon landing on his front wheel, the motorcyclist lost control of his motorcycle, which caused him to swerve left and right before falling hard. Due to the impact, the motorcyclist ended up rolling quite a distance while his motorcycle skidded for a good 100-150 metres. The Weird Part Here's the part where I find it weirdly coincidental. Towards the end of the video, two cars are observed to have stopped along the road shoulder in the vicinity of the road debris. Here are two possible reasons as to why they were there: 1. The piece of debris was from either car. 2. This is the more likely reason - Similar to the motorcyclist, both these cars were victims of the road debris and ran over it as well.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/lta-add-safety-features-resurface-road-along-pie-bukit-timah-13045332 wow scary. Is this true? Lucky I don’t use pie. Be careful

Asking for a friend. These lights turned 'ON' after his wife skidded ( but didnt lose control). Now even after resetting ecu and disconnecting battery supply. A shop said his brake accumulator is damaged and need to be changed at a cost of 4ks. Anyone had this problem before? TIA.

my tires are wearing thin already, the michellin man's hands are now gone and the tires are starting to skid during wet weather my friend says that a 5m skidding during dry weather is still safe because we usually keep a 10m distance between us and the car in front just wondering, what is the norm that people will usually use to judge when to change tires? how many meters skid is allowable for wet and dry conditions?

Anyone experience this,down gear and the car skidded when the road is wet?I thought engine brake is to prevent skidding?btw,it's a rear wheel drive lorry.

F1 or some other race cars have smooth light-weight plate fitted to the bottom of the car body to make the airflow underneath the car smooth and reduce drags..... has any one installed such a plate under he's car yet??? the plate may also give some kind of protection against damages which may be caused flying stones etc.... many thanks
