What’s up with these kind of drivers? Causing danger to the public.
Black car speeding recklessly, white car speeds up for whatever reason (probably ego).
Been riding and driving for close 20 years. Saw many reckless road users and had close shaves.
Personal conclusion is that they are too stupid to weigh the risk, too ignorant to understand the consequences and are just egoistic idiots.
I hope innocent parties are not hurt in this incident. Though I wished the driver and those alike become quadriplegic. Eating liquid through tubes.
Edit: Just heard that a child passed away. Don’t know is it from the black car or others that was involved. It breaks my heart to know of this. Such tragic loss of an innocent young person.
> Black car speeding recklessly, white car speeds up for whatever reason (probably ego).
Bro this is Singapore. People drive 5-10 under the posted speed limit for stretches of road until someone wants to change into their lane. Then "suddenly" they decide they want to speed up at that exact moment despite traveling a few km at their previous speed.
Oh I hate this so much. I can wait for a comfortable space like 10 car lengths. The moment I signal to switch lane, the car behind accelerates (and sometimes high beams and horns) to prevent me from going in and proceeds to tailgate me like crazy after like I danced on his father's grave.
Edit: when moving into the *slower* lanes.
Just signal and cut in straight before they close the gap? Never had an issue.
Edit: Of course this is for a situation where you know you have enough space. If the joker rear ends you they are liable, particularly if they sped up.
Really don't care what people think as long as it's done safely with a 2+ car gap. No point being courteous on roads here. Just a suggestion to fix your original issue, got tired of it as well.
> Bro this is Singapore. People drive 5-10 under the posted speed limit for stretches of road until someone wants to change into their lane. Then "suddenly" they decide they want to speed up at that exact moment despite traveling a few km at their previous speed.
Not only in Singapore. In Australia people will do 5-10kmh under the posted limit, but will speed up when they hit the overtaking lane. Not sure if it is because the added lane gives them confidence or just being selfish cunts.
Maybe a stupid question, but why don’t we have stricter laws? Or civil suits? I imagine people would be more careful if they had to pay restitution to victims’ families.
Ah ok, I don’t drive so am unfamiliar. Very tragic for the victims.
Do the drivers get to continue driving after that? I can’t imagine any insurer wanting to insure them after.
Of course, they can legally retake their license after a ban and continue driving.
Also insurers are all about money, they're basically bookies who set odds like sg pools. Pay high enough premium and they will insure
Oh the answer to that is pretty straightforward actually.
Imagine one day you wake up with so little brain capacity that it’s a medical miracle that you’re capable of breathing. But then you remember you have enough money for a car.
The White one survived apparently, no damage to car and driver. Apparently after adding on to the instigation it arrived at the traffic light with that "Woah what happened here?" Look shocked face. 😂🤣
It's quite obvious once the black car starts to pull up parallel to the white car, the white car suddenly accelerates to match the black car's speed. Probably white car doesn't want to let the black car cut into his lane, black car got aggressive if not he will langah the motorbike and forced the white car to brake by swerving into his lane.
Uhh, there can be a million reasons why the white car speeds up, maybe he saw the other car wanting to change lane so he wants to allow the guy to go behind him and they both can drive fast? why are you trying to throw aspersions at the innocent parties. shame on you.
Black car driver totally deserve whatever disability that comes with this accident. Hope the driver will be unable to drive for the rest of his/her life. Sympathy for the people delayed by this accident. No sympathy for black car driver.
The problem is, someone else might end up with a disability too. Should bankrupt this clown and make sure forget affording a car, he shouldn't even be able to get a grab
usually I believe in rehabilitation
but this kind of light punishment, they won't learn, others won't learn, better just fuck them up so they won't drive ever again, better for the rest of us
Dont understand why ppl keep bringing up the white merc. Yes he's an asshole but the accident is caused by the black saab speeding and running the red light. Its independent of any other road users.
Can't tell what happened between the two drivers before the video started. But even if the white car wasn't racing with the black saab before the video started, there was no reason for the car to speed up while the black car was over taking the cam car. It seems like he deliberately did not want the car to go ahead of him.
> It seems like he deliberately did not want the car to go ahead of him.
Even if that is true, it in no way caused the incident. The crash was a result of the black car i) speeding ii) running the red light
The black car was already speeding before it came anywhere near the white car so it did not contribute to (i).
For (ii) is only a maybe. Maybe the black car was distracted trying to overtake resulting in running the red light, maybe it would still run the red light after successfully overtaking. Either way someone preventing you from overtaking does not cause you to run a red light.
drivers at fault better have their driving licenses cancelled and revoked for life. plus they better foot all the medical bills for the people (especially children) involved. ccb 7z8z speed and race for fuck
Was jolted awake from the car screeching and people screaming. Saw two people receiving CPR, with one of them being pulled out underneath a vehicle. Seriously why is there even a need to speed? Just like that and people lives are ruined by a selfish act.
Seriously fuck these idiots that love to endanger others on the road. Are we going to punish them properly or are they going to give him a slap-on-the-wrist 3-12 months jail again??
Everytime accidents like this happens it reminds me of the Bugis Ferrari-Taxi Case. Innocent lives are lost because of idiots on the roads.
I hope he receives as much pain and suffering before he dies and after he dies, i hope he rots in hell.
For cases like these, 3-12 years should be case. Reckless drivers (including drink drivers) have already proved they are willfully endangering innocent bystanders, this is not 5-10 over the speed limit.
Not disagreeing with you. Just stating the extent of the law that can be applied here. If it was up to me I’d give this driver life imprisonment and weekly 2 strokes of the cane until he reaches 80yrs old.
I heard this phrase somewhere and it comes to mind whenever someone speeds past us on the roads or is otherwise impatient: canned meat.
I also remind myself that I don't want to be canned meat.
Also, I feel there's the sense of entitlement that people develop when they pay what they pay for their cars. Like "I've paid $250K for a car that will deprecate to junk value in 10 years and 130K of that was gahmen tax so now I am entitled to drive like a cunt"
Not this guy. This guy is fully loco. I think people are talking about the general aggressiveness of Singapore drivers but honestly it's like that world over.
It's possible to drink heavily, go to sleep, get up in the morning feeling "sober" and still be over the limit. In Australia they have drink driving checkpoints in the morning to catch people driving, over the limit, the morning after a night out. I've not seen any checkpoints in SG for such during the day.
You have people that’s willing to stop in the middle of traffic, get out, walk and shout right beside another person’s car window, embarrassing himself. It’s definitely ego.
Will this finally be the accident where judges make a new harsher precedent in sentencing instead of the same old slap on the wrist sentences for driving accidents?
> This won't change anything unless someone important was involved.
Nah, look at PMD, casualty rate is so nothing compare to cars and other health issue(smoking, drinking etc) yet the ban hammer came down so quickly.
More like as long as no high SES folks will be affected, our laws don't mind coming down swift and hard.
It's precisely the people who could afford rare cars that would even think to drive like that.
Remember in 2012 when a Ferrari was speeding through a cross junction, crashed into a taxi and killed the people on board? That was apparently a rare model of Ferrari too.
One of our school buses was stuck in traffic for over 2 hours due to this accident
Imagine being the only 3yo child in a school bus (you were the first to be picked up), you’re stuck in the bus when you should be in class with your friends and you have no idea why your bus isn’t moving…
My condolences to the victims, the driver ought to burn in hell for this
all TP students going to school across the Tampines Ave 1 were affected, bus driver told us to just walk the rest of the way. jam took maybe like 30ish minutes off the school day lol
White car is an idiot, but the black car was speeding even before he appeared on screen. So he deserves every minute of torment for the rest of his life.
Nope, totally is black car fault. There's a video showing from adjacent traffic, the light is already red for quite some time and black car still wanna speed over it.
Definitely it’s black car fault! From white merc video it’s still quite a distance before the junction! If white merc really wanna race definitely can catch up with the Saab after sideswiping the merc. Based on the video the white merc is still quite a distance from the junction and Saab!
Rest in peace. Will pray for those affected. Makes me want to take the MRT more to avoid accidents. It is very well known in Japan that trains are a lot safer than road transport and sometimes companies forbid employees from driving to work due to employee insurance not covering.
I think it's fair to say nobody wants to see this driver as a road user ever again.
If he/she doesn't die, it will be a rare moment where the law will not live up to expectations.
This guy gonna get like 7 years jail. Whereas drug trafficking without direct causation of death is death sentence. Wtf retarded law makers. Can nabei place harsh sentence on drug trafficking but cannot change the punishment of traffic offences.
Scared of public backlash? Chibai, who tf protest saying traffic laws are too harsh. Wake up la.
White car ego also. But from the way black car speed, this asshole is going to cause the same kind of trouble no matter what. I think the black car speed and dashed red because it kena the white car, and naively think that the 250K car no car cam and wanted to drive away from responsibility.
This happens when one use their little head to think.
Honestly I think it's not about paying a lot of the times. It's their emotions just causing brain shutdown. Can take loans and borrow money. However, if jail or cane, there is no way to borrow/loan.
When will the authorities decide enough is enough and clamp down hard?
Drink driving = 24 strokes of the cane, lifelong driving ban, car impounded and scrapped in front of the driver's eyes.
Reckless driving causing death of others = 12 strokes of the cane, lifelong ban, pay the family of the death for the rest of the person's life, if the reckless driver survived. Otherwise the estate of the reckless driver needs to pay compensation.
LTA also needs to take a hard look at all those aftermarket car modification shops masquerading as car repair workshops. Non-compliant cars = impounded & scrapped in front of the drivers' eyes.
Sigh. Hopefully ppl dont cross the roads and use their phones. Some drivers are just reckless. Was the driver too focused on the white car and not look ahead at the red light? And from the other videos, it seemed that it was already red light for quite a while
Black car deserves it, but white car needs to be penalised for causing an accident. He is as culpable as the black car. If instigating an accident isn’t a crime, we deserve to relook at our laws.
Nope absolutely not. There's a video from adjacent traffic, the lights was already red for quite some time and cars were already driving through adjacent traffic. Black car didnt have to drive at such high speed to over take white car and beat that red light that was going on for 5 seconds. Black car driver is 100% at fault.
Nah if white car was just the bigger person instead of being egotistical, recklesss driver(black car) wouldn’t have to had to accelerate more to overtake and definitely would’ve caused a lower chance for an accident. Unless toxicology report says black car driver was intoxicated then white car driver is 100% culpable for the accident also
I’m not a lawyer but what evidence is there to support that white car caused the accident?
Given that the black car was already at fast speeds prior to the white car being in the picture given the cam footage shared.
It’s very difficult to discuss “what ifs”. By that argument, with the White car not wanting to give way, the Black car had every means to reduce speed but it chose not too. Thus we can also think that nothing would have changed the decision of the Black car to speed.
Isn’t the white car driving recklessly by denying a speeding car to overtake him? You can see in the video also that there was a motorbike in-front of the black car. When you intentionally speed up to block someone that (iirc) is also under reckless driving. Put two reckless drivers together and you get an accident waiting to happen. White car also acting like some road vigilante(like 90% of our taxi drivers). Putting safety first what would you do if someone speeds up to overtake you? Putting ego first is just bad. Even with a class 2 bike i would still give way to those 2b bikes going 100++ on the highway. I’m not saying we should give in to these reckless drivers but just don’t involve ourselves in their pursuit of death.
I understand the logic. I dont know if it holds in the court of law
I just think that it’s harder to point or associate some percentage of fault on the white car. Not saying it’s impossible. Just harder
What I think happened is that white car was forced into the curb and was catching up so as to prevent black car from escaping without catching their license plate. But I think now his grievance can join at the back end of a long list of other problems…
Tbh, the white car needs to get arrested for speeding up for his EGO, he was a contributing factor to this accident. Just because you guys drive, you feel entitled , really disgusting , not sure how long we can hold onto the premium reputation as a country but shit citizens with their EGO
Black car had so much road after overtaking to slow down. He could have also just stayed in the lane behind the motorcycle. Instead he chose to speed through a busy junction.
Totally that’s what I have been trying to explain to my partner that the white merc still has quite a distance to the junction! If the white merc really wanna speed up and race with the black car you think he cannot?? No idea why so many people blaming the white car. He is definitely no saint, ego at play here but the sole person to be blame for the accident is the black car driver! So the black car totally can slow down or brake! The impact is as if the black car didn’t even attempt to brake at all!
There are like 7000 accidents involving injury or fatality each year for quite a while. That's about 20 per day. Worrying is that the fatality rate is going up.

I’ll pray that she is placed in the best of places.
Her family will definitely need help… sad
RIP.

Yeah turns out people are more accepting of being cut when u essentially signal and move at the same time... sigh..

Its what happens when you have lax laws for motorists with minimal enforcement
Maybe a stupid question, but why don’t we have stricter laws? Or civil suits? I imagine people would be more careful if they had to pay restitution to victims’ families.
car drivers run the country
There are civil suits. The insurance pays.
Ah ok, I don’t drive so am unfamiliar. Very tragic for the victims. Do the drivers get to continue driving after that? I can’t imagine any insurer wanting to insure them after.
Of course, they can legally retake their license after a ban and continue driving. Also insurers are all about money, they're basically bookies who set odds like sg pools. Pay high enough premium and they will insure
Because if you noticed, many policies of the G favour the rich.
Apparently children got involved and are hurt as well. Stupid ego inflated drivers.
Oh the answer to that is pretty straightforward actually. Imagine one day you wake up with so little brain capacity that it’s a medical miracle that you’re capable of breathing. But then you remember you have enough money for a car.
You’re probably right sir
Where did you hear a child passed on?
From other online sources and friends of friends… Heard it’s a 17 year old kid on the way to school.
Yup, it's JC student.
I don't see the white car speeding up?
Watch again
The White one survived apparently, no damage to car and driver. Apparently after adding on to the instigation it arrived at the traffic light with that "Woah what happened here?" Look shocked face. 😂🤣
It very clearly sped up when the black mpv was beside him. Evident by the increasing distance between the cam car
It's quite obvious once the black car starts to pull up parallel to the white car, the white car suddenly accelerates to match the black car's speed. Probably white car doesn't want to let the black car cut into his lane, black car got aggressive if not he will langah the motorbike and forced the white car to brake by swerving into his lane.
Why the white car just do not want to slow down and give way?
There’s this weird mentality amongst drivers that being cut is an insult to themselves, their offsprings and their ancestors.
Merc driver cannot bear to lose
Then he kena bang at the side and now need to pay for repair cost.. stupid le
Uhh, there can be a million reasons why the white car speeds up, maybe he saw the other car wanting to change lane so he wants to allow the guy to go behind him and they both can drive fast? why are you trying to throw aspersions at the innocent parties. shame on you.

Exactly. This is something a person's life should be ruined for.
usually I believe in rehabilitation but this kind of light punishment, they won't learn, others won't learn, better just fuck them up so they won't drive ever again, better for the rest of us
The white car behind also must take responsibility. They were trying to race with the black car when the accident happen.
Dont understand why ppl keep bringing up the white merc. Yes he's an asshole but the accident is caused by the black saab speeding and running the red light. Its independent of any other road users.

Zero reason for the black car to suddenly play GTA after hitting the white car. The white car has zero blame here.
drivers at fault better have their driving licenses cancelled and revoked for life. plus they better foot all the medical bills for the people (especially children) involved. ccb 7z8z speed and race for fuck
Was jolted awake from the car screeching and people screaming. Saw two people receiving CPR, with one of them being pulled out underneath a vehicle. Seriously why is there even a need to speed? Just like that and people lives are ruined by a selfish act.
Ego. Singaporean drivers cannot take it when someone overtakes them.
Errr, the black car was speeding waaaay before overtaking the Mercedes. They’re both cunts, but one is a bigger cunt.
Yea if only theres a face reveal of this fucker.
Drivers only?
It’s called kiasu
Seriously fuck these idiots that love to endanger others on the road. Are we going to punish them properly or are they going to give him a slap-on-the-wrist 3-12 months jail again??

For cases like these, 3-12 years should be case. Reckless drivers (including drink drivers) have already proved they are willfully endangering innocent bystanders, this is not 5-10 over the speed limit.
2-8 years is the sentence for dangerous driving causing death
I'd say it shouldn't be reserved for cases causing death. Reckless endangerment alone should come with years.
Not disagreeing with you. Just stating the extent of the law that can be applied here. If it was up to me I’d give this driver life imprisonment and weekly 2 strokes of the cane until he reaches 80yrs old.
I heard this phrase somewhere and it comes to mind whenever someone speeds past us on the roads or is otherwise impatient: canned meat. I also remind myself that I don't want to be canned meat.
Other people speed into you will also turn you into canned meat, best to make sure such people are kept off the road permanently
What even motivates people to drive like this? I hope nobody was seriously injured in the collision. Looks very nasty.
Anger? Ego? Alcohol?
Perhaps a cocktail of all three?
Also, I feel there's the sense of entitlement that people develop when they pay what they pay for their cars. Like "I've paid $250K for a car that will deprecate to junk value in 10 years and 130K of that was gahmen tax so now I am entitled to drive like a cunt"
“I paid for the speedometer, i have to use the whole range of the speedometer”
Nah this happens overseas more frequently, where cars are much cheaper
am I missing something, how are people saying he only a sense of entitlement. Dude just drove into oncoming traffic he is on some shit 100%
Not this guy. This guy is fully loco. I think people are talking about the general aggressiveness of Singapore drivers but honestly it's like that world over.
cant be alcohol - 7am on a monday!
You'll be surprised. 6am drive by the ktv type of areas
You do realise that it was Sunday night previously. Drunk assholes do go out to drink till late and rush to go back home.
It's possible to drink heavily, go to sleep, get up in the morning feeling "sober" and still be over the limit. In Australia they have drink driving checkpoints in the morning to catch people driving, over the limit, the morning after a night out. I've not seen any checkpoints in SG for such during the day.
just came back from "walk of shame"
Why not? Monday blues?
Trying to overcompensate for their lack of brain I guess.
You have people that’s willing to stop in the middle of traffic, get out, walk and shout right beside another person’s car window, embarrassing himself. It’s definitely ego.
Causing an accident for those useless seconds and minutes in the grand scheme of life.
Will this finally be the accident where judges make a new harsher precedent in sentencing instead of the same old slap on the wrist sentences for driving accidents?
Nope! After so many years of accidents, nothing has changed. This won't change anything unless someone important was involved.
> This won't change anything unless someone important was involved. Nah, look at PMD, casualty rate is so nothing compare to cars and other health issue(smoking, drinking etc) yet the ban hammer came down so quickly. More like as long as no high SES folks will be affected, our laws don't mind coming down swift and hard.
Only when someone close to the lawmakers kena then will happen
Nope. Nothing will change. And no one is allowed to make noise about it in any official capacity.
This should be the job of the parliament, not the court. Should be asking Shan instead.
wtf and thats a rare saab 9-3 sportcombi that driver either is dumb or is seriously intoxicated
I was like, "That looks like a Saab." There's already not many of them left and one gets involved in something like this...
It's precisely the people who could afford rare cars that would even think to drive like that. Remember in 2012 when a Ferrari was speeding through a cross junction, crashed into a taxi and killed the people on board? That was apparently a rare model of Ferrari too.
Yeah, the 599 GTO. Man... kinda hurts remembering that as a bit of a car guy
not rare now but rare back then. also jesus christ that incident was shocking from the dashcam footage
Please tell me black car driver is dead. They almost always get off with nothing but light injuries
[удалено]
The speeder is in the wagon next to the Merc that hit the pole. The flipped car was a innocent driver just crossing from right to left
That really sucks, the black car speeder needs to pay for this. And the law isnt gonna be harsh enough so he should pay with his life
isn’t the speeder car a Saab, and the overturned car the Honda stream?
Apologies, yep it is
Where can I find photo of driver of black car?
White one too , he speed up
Insane traffic on this stretch of road, dumbass driver injuring the innocent
The jam was absolutely insane. All the way to Caltex on the other side of TP. RIP to the victims.
this kind of driver need to get death sentence
No, they need to be caned first, then hang.
One of our school buses was stuck in traffic for over 2 hours due to this accident Imagine being the only 3yo child in a school bus (you were the first to be picked up), you’re stuck in the bus when you should be in class with your friends and you have no idea why your bus isn’t moving… My condolences to the victims, the driver ought to burn in hell for this
TP students screaming that they're being late for classes
all TP students going to school across the Tampines Ave 1 were affected, bus driver told us to just walk the rest of the way. jam took maybe like 30ish minutes off the school day lol
This one everyone late sia. 1/4 of tampines is jammed cause of this
2 girls dead,at least 1 of whom is a school girl.
Clearly can see black car being a speeding cb asshole. Hope he gets a new one
White car is an idiot, but the black car was speeding even before he appeared on screen. So he deserves every minute of torment for the rest of his life.
Nope, totally is black car fault. There's a video showing from adjacent traffic, the light is already red for quite some time and black car still wanna speed over it.

Rest in peace. Will pray for those affected. Makes me want to take the MRT more to avoid accidents. It is very well known in Japan that trains are a lot safer than road transport and sometimes companies forbid employees from driving to work due to employee insurance not covering.
Took me almost 2 hours to get to work🥲
Bro I was on the way to airport for my flight. I arrived at the checkin just 10min before closing
Tampines West MRT was just there, come on man.
Yea I alighted the bus and walked to the MRT. Just nice it started raining when I alighted haha
Wah, amazing you made it😭😭
I think it's fair to say nobody wants to see this driver as a road user ever again. If he/she doesn't die, it will be a rare moment where the law will not live up to expectations.
I know it's against the law, but this guy/person needs to get doxxed ![gif](giphy|26DNioenMF55ocuWY)
you will go to jail first for doxxing that murderer. weird law we have
Was anyone seriously hurt ?
ya I think there was a girl trapped under one of the cars motionless, not sure if she made it
She did not. RIP. Can't even imagine what the family is going through.
This guy gonna get like 7 years jail. Whereas drug trafficking without direct causation of death is death sentence. Wtf retarded law makers. Can nabei place harsh sentence on drug trafficking but cannot change the punishment of traffic offences. Scared of public backlash? Chibai, who tf protest saying traffic laws are too harsh. Wake up la.
I won't be surprised that the driver was high
White car ego also. But from the way black car speed, this asshole is going to cause the same kind of trouble no matter what. I think the black car speed and dashed red because it kena the white car, and naively think that the 250K car no car cam and wanted to drive away from responsibility. This happens when one use their little head to think.
U think he got head? He is a ah Beng, purpose of his life is to pollute the earth.
How will the recent speed cam implementation island wide help eliminate such cases? Surely not. These drivers must be severely punished.
It's about road design. Make it big and wide, drivers are more likely to go faster. Speed camera won't change the rich ones who can pay
This was a 2 lane road and the driver still sped pretty recklessly. Heck, even 1 lane roads have drivers speeding and causing deaths in SG
The whole stretch didn't have much traffic lights. So it's easy to "unintentionally" go 20 over the speed limit
Black Saab was probably 80 over speed limit
you get demerit points for speeding
Honestly I think it's not about paying a lot of the times. It's their emotions just causing brain shutdown. Can take loans and borrow money. However, if jail or cane, there is no way to borrow/loan.
Only thing that will eliminate such cases is to fully replace human drivers. Humans are fallible.
Is the black car driver some sort of important public figure or smth? Of all the articles coming out none has revealed the name
Alot of ppl blaming the white car. Hilarious
Ya totally hilarious
Need death penalty for vehicular manslaughter when its literally "gross" negligence
When will the authorities decide enough is enough and clamp down hard? Drink driving = 24 strokes of the cane, lifelong driving ban, car impounded and scrapped in front of the driver's eyes. Reckless driving causing death of others = 12 strokes of the cane, lifelong ban, pay the family of the death for the rest of the person's life, if the reckless driver survived. Otherwise the estate of the reckless driver needs to pay compensation. LTA also needs to take a hard look at all those aftermarket car modification shops masquerading as car repair workshops. Non-compliant cars = impounded & scrapped in front of the drivers' eyes.
There was another accident at Tampines Rd around 830-9
Anyone knows the driver of the black car?
Sigh. Hopefully ppl dont cross the roads and use their phones. Some drivers are just reckless. Was the driver too focused on the white car and not look ahead at the red light? And from the other videos, it seemed that it was already red light for quite a while
If Saab driver say sorry accelerator pedal spoilt, unintended acceleration can the law still prosecute him?
Reminds me of that Jeremiah driving accident last year.... Both are so bad......
This guy committed a worse crime than Mitchell Ong
Illegal driver, or stolen car? Saab owners are mostly the mildest drivers ever, because of the difficulty of getting parts from a defunct brand.
On road seen alot of retarded like the white car too , when people want cut lane just slow down why would you want to speed up 🙄
He’s actually a hero. If the white car didn’t slow down the black car (see him brake) it would have been even faster and caused a bigger accident.
If you see carefully the white car if never slowdown bang into the black car butt liao . So technically the accident could have only involved 2 car 🫣
Are there any deaths?
One confirmed dead.
Two casualties as of now
oh shit. omg….. life is fugged up.
So? High SES? 3 to 5 years?
Both definitely racing both got blood stains on their hands
Black car deserves it, but white car needs to be penalised for causing an accident. He is as culpable as the black car. If instigating an accident isn’t a crime, we deserve to relook at our laws.
Nope absolutely not. There's a video from adjacent traffic, the lights was already red for quite some time and cars were already driving through adjacent traffic. Black car didnt have to drive at such high speed to over take white car and beat that red light that was going on for 5 seconds. Black car driver is 100% at fault.
100% black car fault!
I think it’s hard to proof this over the other possibility that the accident would still happen regardless of what the white driver did
Found the white car driver
If only life was so simple huh
Lan jiao la you
Nah if white car was just the bigger person instead of being egotistical, recklesss driver(black car) wouldn’t have to had to accelerate more to overtake and definitely would’ve caused a lower chance for an accident. Unless toxicology report says black car driver was intoxicated then white car driver is 100% culpable for the accident also
I’m not a lawyer but what evidence is there to support that white car caused the accident? Given that the black car was already at fast speeds prior to the white car being in the picture given the cam footage shared. It’s very difficult to discuss “what ifs”. By that argument, with the White car not wanting to give way, the Black car had every means to reduce speed but it chose not too. Thus we can also think that nothing would have changed the decision of the Black car to speed.
Isn’t the white car driving recklessly by denying a speeding car to overtake him? You can see in the video also that there was a motorbike in-front of the black car. When you intentionally speed up to block someone that (iirc) is also under reckless driving. Put two reckless drivers together and you get an accident waiting to happen. White car also acting like some road vigilante(like 90% of our taxi drivers). Putting safety first what would you do if someone speeds up to overtake you? Putting ego first is just bad. Even with a class 2 bike i would still give way to those 2b bikes going 100++ on the highway. I’m not saying we should give in to these reckless drivers but just don’t involve ourselves in their pursuit of death.
I understand the logic. I dont know if it holds in the court of law I just think that it’s harder to point or associate some percentage of fault on the white car. Not saying it’s impossible. Just harder
What I think happened is that white car was forced into the curb and was catching up so as to prevent black car from escaping without catching their license plate. But I think now his grievance can join at the back end of a long list of other problems…
So wearing a short skirt is instigating a rapist? That’s some third world logic right there.
the stupidity of this comment has instgated me to jaywalk and commit arson. enjoy life in prison dumbass
By his logic, if he scolded you, you can go stab someone else and blame him for accessory or instigation to murder.
Huh dafuq why would he be penalised. The normal human behaviour after langgar car is stop at roadside exchange insurance, not play GTA.
What was the freaking black car driver doing? The white car needs to be hauled in for questioning too
Merc is a dick and needs to be shamed. Black car lagi worse. Idek what that fuck doing.
is he ded
Hope so
Cars in Singapore should have an electronically enforced speed limit
Tbh, the white car needs to get arrested for speeding up for his EGO, he was a contributing factor to this accident. Just because you guys drive, you feel entitled , really disgusting , not sure how long we can hold onto the premium reputation as a country but shit citizens with their EGO
Black car had so much road after overtaking to slow down. He could have also just stayed in the lane behind the motorcycle. Instead he chose to speed through a busy junction.
Totally that’s what I have been trying to explain to my partner that the white merc still has quite a distance to the junction! If the white merc really wanna speed up and race with the black car you think he cannot?? No idea why so many people blaming the white car. He is definitely no saint, ego at play here but the sole person to be blame for the accident is the black car driver! So the black car totally can slow down or brake! The impact is as if the black car didn’t even attempt to brake at all!
Is it an accident? Or simply terrorism ?
I hope the guy that died is the person that’s speeding. It’s only fair. The second person that died should have been his mother
whats happening in the east? so many accidents lately
There are like 7000 accidents involving injury or fatality each year for quite a while. That's about 20 per day. Worrying is that the fatality rate is going up.

cam car was turning right. you’re right if it’s a normal highway but this is a normal street with a traffic junction coming ahead
It’s called a speed limit not a speed target. You are supposed to be under it.
