Drunk driver refuses to go hospital after crashing into a tree
Fadevfast posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
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 doubt there was any will). Jeremy Clarkson would be proud. The car tipped over to its side. More tragically however, some birds were knocked out of the tree! Although they seem uninjured, some remained on the road, as if mourning the sudden loss of their home. Maybe it was intentional, and the driver hit them out of frustration that he can’t live rent free as well (low key understand it). Police arrived on the scene after being alerted that an accident occurred. They reported that the driver escaped with minor injuries, but refused to be sent to the hospital. Imagine crashing and flipping your car, the police telling you to go to the hospital, and still saying no. This alcohol is next level. Online chatter People of course criticised the drink driving, with some feeling laws should step up to match the severity of the crime as deaths can occur due to the driver's recklessness. Others also took pity on the birds who lost their homes. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

A tree branch collapses on a very 'suay' BMW 116D after a lightning strike
thatJDMahboy posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
An act of God refers to unavoidable events that are beyond human control. And more often than not, being in an accident is every driver's nightmare, let alone an accident involving the act of God. Watch this 'suay' BMW driver that was involved in such an accident here: WhatsApp Video 2022-08-17 at 9.33.39 AM.mp4 What Happened? The driver of a BMW 116D was driving under bad weather conditions when suddenly lightning struck a tree that he drove past. The lightning strike caused one of the tree branches to collapse onto the German hatchback, resulting in it receiving extensive damage to its windshield, bonnet and side. Thankfully, the BMW driver managed to walk away harm-free from this incident. Insurance cannot claim right? This has to be the first question that comes to mind after watching this video. Fortunately, the BMW driver managed to claim his insurance under "Own Damage (OD)". This means that he only has to pay the OD excess, and his insurance provider will cover the rest of the cost involved. But needless to say, his premium is going to shoot up after this claim. Netizens' Comments Think optimistically🙏✨ Looks like his car number is gonna be sold out for 17th August's draw🤭 The golden question! ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Hi All, not sure if this is the right term but I got this glue/caramel/gum like thing dripped from the flowers or fruits from trees on my car's body and windscreen. when i spot it, sometimes it was not fully hardened, and rubbing to remove it may end up smearing it over a bigger area. onced dried/ hardened, it is like semi-transparent on the windscreen and not effect when I scrub it. what home-made remedy or off the shelf products I can use remove these stubborn glue-like thing?

The Maserati GranTurismo is what I would call your "entry level supercar" or "pseudo supercar". It's not the fastest, neither does it handle the best, and its horsepower rating of 399bhp to 453bhp isn't what one would call lacking (depending whether you get an earlier or later model), it isn't up-to-par with the supercar horsepower levels of today. Off the top of my head, the least powerful supercar on sale today (I could be wrong) is the Audi R8 with 532bhp and rear wheel drive. Still, what the Maserati GranTurismo (and its convertible sibling, the GranCabrio) lack in horsepower, they more than make up for it in a sonorous exhaust note and Italian flair, as seen in this video. Also, the Maserati GranTurismo, especially the older, COE renewed units tend to be more affordable for a sports car, as seen here. Thus, with a low cost of entry (for a sports car), there are bound to be some people who would spring at the first chance of owning something that is exotic, two-seater and containing a Ferrari engine (yes, the V8 engine in the GranTurismo is from Ferrari, why else do you think it sounds so good?), and some of these drivers aren't exactly what you would say, experienced when it comes to driving a car that is rear-wheel drive and having double or more than double the horsepower of your average car in Singapore. Now now, I'm not pointing fingers here, but sometimes, the evidence speaks for itself. I don't think that's going to buff out..... Yup, definitely not going to buff out. I've heard of rear-wheel steering but that is some rear wheel angle right there. Doesn't look like that tree fared too well, either. Also, I did not know about this, but you can actually be fined for crashing into trees, starting from $2000 a tree? Wow, that's, uh, gratifying to know. I know that if you damage public property like lamposts, railing or fences in a traffic accident, you have to pay for those, but fines starting from $2000 for a tree? One can only guess what happened to cause that accident. At the time of this post being written, which is the evening of 24 March, it has been raining for the better part of the afternoon, roads are still kind of damp from the rain, and the skies still look grey, which could possibly mean more rain later tonight. And judging from the pictures, the roads were wet, so either the driver of this car was having a bad day, or was driving a little too exuberantly on wet roads and didn't have the skill to keep him or herself out of trouble, or had tyres that couldn't really handle the wet asphalt. Now remember, these are all speculations, and I do not know what caused the accident. Let us wait for news from the proper channels to come out before we make any further assumptions. For now, all I can perhaps assume is that maybe, just maybe, the driver of this GranTurismo took the words of Jeremy Clarkson a bit too literally, as seen from Clarkson's review of the Pagani Zonda R.... So if this already isn't enough of a reminder, drive carefully, people, especially in wet weather. More of it is forecasted for the coming weeks so it would be wise to play it safe. And should you need advice for how to drive safe in the rain, feel free to read these articles here, here and here, as written by my colleagues.

Bad weather, drive safe brothers -
This morning witnessed the start of a fallen tree event along Marine Parade Road just outside Neptune Court. As the attached pictures showed, the tree blocked all the 3 lanes. As I walked along to Still Road to catch the connecting bus, managed to alert fellow commuters waiting in the next 2 bus-stops about the fallen tree. It was not easy for me to do it, but I did not think I could forgive myself for withholding the information so I did it anyway. Felt good. I hope all would do like-wise when face with similar situation. But looking at the root of the fallen tree really make me worried, as to how it could break so easily. Could be due to thunder storm the last few days? With the monsoon season arriving, we should be expecting more of such events.

Another topic got me to write this. Both my parents already dead and the missuses father as well so only the wife's mother still around. Although she's lost a lot of near term memory,slight dementia, her long term memory is amazing. So for a year or so we've been asking her to tell us about her forfathers and relatives. Based on this info we've drawn up my wife's family tree which is impossible to do without this memory. Most of this family tree has been confirmed with other relatives who couldn't remember to begin with but on prompting by my mil and chatting together they all remember. We've gone back to 1885 with a forfather who was born in Singapore although some of the older members were immigrants from China. We've discussed it all with many relations who have found it very interesting and many even the younger ones have asked for copies of the tree. Without the memory of my mil none of this would have been possible and who knows how much longer she'll be around. Maybe not many of you will be interested with your ancestors history, where they lived, when they moved here and where from, how they survived in the wars, WW1 and WW2 but it can be fascinating. If you are interested you should talk to your oldest family members asap because once that memory has gone it has gone you won't be able to get it back.

There are at least 10 plus old trees at Canada Road and Montreal Road being cut down. These trees are strong like pine tree and don't look sick in anyway. Don't understand what are they doing. I also remember there are a few big trees near Yishun Mrt, now cut just left 1.

Kudos to the workers. Wonder if the public called MSO, how long would it hv taken for the tree to be removed?...... http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/construction-workers/1328914.html SINGAPORE: A fallen tree briefly blocked off all the lanes on Still Road on Monday (Aug 26), but a group of construction workers quickly cleared the obstruction, allowing vehicles to pass. All three lanes along Still Road, heading toward Eunos, were rendered impassable after a tree fell at about 2.15pm, following heavy rain. A Twitter user, Grace, told @ChannelNewsAsia that the workers, who were helping to renovate a house nearby, immediately helped to move the fallen trunk, clearing one lane for vehicles to pass.

A black Mazda, travelling along Tanglin Road from Margaret Drive, was crushed by a tree on Saturday afternoon. Twitter user Kim Vernon, who sent The Straits Times a photo of the incident, said it was a "lucky escape" for a couple who were in the car. The police were also spotted at the scene assisting the couple by 12.35pm. The Singapore Land Authority receives about 70 reports of trees falling a year, mainly on forested state land. Over the past 10 years, four people have died and 62 injured by falling trees and branches. There were 122 cases of trees being uprooted from January to April this year.

The driver of a white lorry, Mr Ramli Akbar, was arrested after his vehicle swerved across four lanes on Sembawang Road before hitting a tree, tipping over and crashing into an Audi sedan on Monday night. A pill found on the driver has been sent to the Central Narcotics Bureau for testing. A lorry driver who had been taking shipyard workers home was arrested after losing control of his vehicle and swerving across four lanes into a tree. The lorry, with three Indian workers in the back and three locals in the front, ran into the kerb at a junction before careering across Sembawang Road into the tree and tipping over onto its side. It skidded for about 3m before crashing into a white Audi sedan parked in front of a seafood restaurant. One Indian worker, Mr Chala Kannan, in his 30s, was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. He later regained consciousness and was being treated for a broken finger yesterday. The other workers escaped with superficial injuries.

Hi bros, Anyone has advice on removing tree sap on your car? I was parking at the zoo today under a tree. When I came out, I saw the entire car was "sprayed" with tree sap. Even my windscreen was affected. I tried to clean and use claybar and Duragloss polish (105), I still could not remove the stains. THe entire car now looks like having chicken pox. I don't know what else I can do now. My vision is blurrede by the spots on the windscreen and the car looks really ugly. Can I send to someone to perform a thorough polish for me or I can DIY? I have some Duragloss products but am not sure if i can use any. Thanks!

Poor tree. I am sure the driver is usually very safety and never speed A car crashed into a three on a road divider along Jurong West at about 8.55pm yesterday (Sep 13) after apparently being involved in a race with two other cars. STOMPer Vincent, who witnessed the incident while he was jogging along Brickland Road, said: "I was jogging along Brickland Road on at 8.55pm yesterday (Sep 13) when I saw three cars participating in illegal racing. "Just after the curve, the winning car lost control and crashes into a tree at the centre divider, breaking it and swinging 180 degree, hitting another tree. "Both the male drive and female passenger appeared OK." Police said in response to a STOMP query: "Police received a call on 13 Sep at about 8.51pm requesting for assistance along Brickland Road towards Bukit Batok near lamp post 92. "Upon police's arrival, it was established that a car had crashed into a tree. "The driver and the passenger were conveyed conscious to NUH and police investigations are ongoing."
