Motorcycles Dancing - The Most Unusual Crash Involving Two Motorcycles

At Magny-Cours, during a round of the promosport Championship: two riders crash and their bikes lock wheel bars and continue to pirouette on the ground: funny dancing bikes! Hahahaha. I love to see the reaction of the two riders.

World's Best Bus Driver

Can you guess who is world's best bus driver? First of all, is there any such competition going on anywhere in the world? I don't think so, at least as far as I know. I took the notion from its self-claimed title at the video. The video claims that the guy is the best driver in the world. Anyway, after watching the video below, even though for me it is normal, I think he deserves a bit admiration from you all. What do you think?

Bad Yellow Car Driver Caused A Bus Crash

I really hate this really bad and unconsidered idiot driver of the yellow car. He took off. The bus driver should had not maneuvered and made a sudden left turn as the road was wet and slippery. Even if he had hit the bad yellow car it would not be his fault. In my opinion he should had hit the yellow car and had saved himself and his passengers. What do you think?

FYI, The bus accident happened on March 2005 at Turkey.

Funny Winter Car Crash

This crash happened at America during winter time in the year 2007. I'm quite amazed to learn that actually there was somebody who can drive crazily like this. While we laugh at it, do not forget about the lesson of the story. If you never drive in snow, don't try unless there is someone experience besides you, together with proper tyres and chains.

The almost-17-million-viewers Youtube video is a very true event as I have experienced this craziness before, but not as bad as the shown video la.

New Proton MPV Tester Spotted at Putra Height

1. Reader from Paultan blog has spotted and take a shacky video on Proton MPV tester at Putra Heights last week, and it seems that the MPV has been sighted in the area quite frequently for 3 consecutive days.

2. He also claims the MPV was quite fast to accelerate way from his Proton Waja 1.6, despite having about 3-4 occupants in it. The video is quite shaky at first but later there is a close-up, including a shot of the Proton MPV travelling next to what appears to be a red Perodua Kelisa towards the end.

3. At first glace, looks like a morgue wagon (I dunno to translate kereta mayat haha), later we would say "oh thats MPV". Not too bad eh. For more about Proton's posts, go HERE.

Old School Road Safety Ads: Interesting!

1. I got this road safety ads from the infamous youtube website. Well, a friend of mine sending the link to me when looking for road safety ads. It is quite shocked that Malaysia is already starting the road safety campaign many many of years earlier, might be even before our road safety expert (Prof Radin) being born yet.

2. For me, this is the best road safety ads ever. Why spend millions dollars when there are free one available? Not only free, but this is indeed an interesting one. Enjoy!

Playing Cellphone while Riding a Motorcycle

1. This guy is crazy. Got this video email from one of my friends. The video taker was accidentally found this crazy guy while strolling along 4 lanes highway and found out this is funny. I thought this happened in Malaysia, but to my shock, it is NOT! So meaning there are other superb and crazy motorcyclist existed at other countries who dont value their life.

2. Speechless. I'm wondering how he's navigating his motorcycle by just using his feet? Stupid and crazy eh. And at the same time, solute him for his bravery. I want to recruit him into army if only if I were the army general. This kind of soldier will give surely benefits to the army team. Heh.

Drag Truck Powered by Rocket Engine!

1. This is just too awesome where a drag truck has been equipped with rocket engine and trying to be super fast. Looks really gorgeous! The only thing not superb is the truck own safety hehe. No way the driver can survive any collision if only the truck crash.

2. I want to tell you about how fast the truck goes but seems like not thrilling if were to tell you. just watch the video ok. :D Dont ask me how fast the truck is coz I don't know, I only know the speed if the truck crashed. Thanks to Ramizam, my colleague for sending me this awesome movie file.

Shocking Facts on Vehicle Safety (I): Seatbelts Part 1

1. Many people believe that in road traffic accident, speeding is the main factor of killing people, or simply can be put in a better statement, “speeding your vehicle will speed your life”.

2. That is not 100% true because in fact, it is NOT speed that kills, but actually is the SUDDENT STOP. Why? Let’s take an example.

3. A red car is driving 120km/h and then suddenly lost control and went to the side of road, and fortunately the side has a long wall. The car is hitting the wall (not head on), and dragging along the wall. After 50 meters, the car stopped and what do you think the luck of the driver?

4. Ok another example, might be some of you is lucky enough experience this or ever heard of the case. A blue car traveling along the highway at 120km/h and suddenly out of nowhere got hit from the back by an unknown vehicle. The blue car spun and went turtle, dragged on the road for about 60 meters. Assuming both drivers wear the seatbelt. What happen to the drivers?

5. The answer for both cases is they still alive because they told you the story! How could dead men tell you the story right? “Hmm bro, I think you are a little bit away from main point, what are you trying to say by giving those examples?” Be patient.

6. Now let’s look on a case where head on collision, a red car at the speed of 120km/h hit head on with a blue car at the speed of any (could be 50, 100, or 120). Bang! After the collision both are stopped, immediately less than a second. From the outside we could see the event like it’s just in a blink an eye. Suddenly the occupants in blood and the cars wrecked like hell.

7. Let’s see this video from Youtube on the movement of the occupants in a slow motion.

8. From the video above, in a split second we could see that the man that not wearing rear seatbelt hitting hard all other occupants who wear the seatbelts and this happen very fast and only in milliseconds. When the rescuer or public people come to see, the position of the occupants is just like before the impact.

9. The flying unbelted man is coming back to his seat like nothing is happening, and "looks very cute where he lean on her gf shoulder". What they didn’t know is during those micro seconds, everything is happening.

10. They might asked, “How this women bloody injured? She sat on her seat and belted too, doesn’t make any sense she could be injured like that”. How? Why? What? All those are commonly asked; even the investigation police officer has pain in the ass to figure things out.

11. Those people didn’t know, but now you know it and you should start now to wear the seatbelt. Even only one person inside the vehicle do not wear the seatbelt, she/he could become hazardous to your safety.

12. Thus, your responsibility is not only to wear the seatbelt but to remind occupants in the car to wear it too.

13. All the drivers should bear the responsible for this. Please read My Rear Seatbelt Post on how other occupants could kill you during the crash. Before starting any journey, especially long distance journey, please ensure that all the occupants inside the vehicle is belted.

14. You might be thinking, I am a safe driver, possibilities for me to involve in accident is very low. You are wrong! Anything could be happening on roads, you know, they are lots of idiots out there. Prevention is better than cure, as I could say.

When the Road is Badly Made

1. Last week I got this email and found it quite interesting fact about our new upgraded PLUS highway. To be truth, I experienced the uncomfortable feeling too, driving at stated upgraded highway and when I checked our crash database, for some reason many fatal accidents occured along this stretch (approximately Rawang - Tapah) after the new 3-lane-highway opened up. Here is the email I got, I think its quite good to share.

I am a frequent user of our North-South Expressway and I have this IMPORTANT experience to highlight and share:-

I was driving back to Penang yesterday afternoon (24 June 08) when I saw the unfortunate accident in the opposite direction involving the passenger bus that skidded and overturned at Tanjung Malim. I didn't know that the skidded bus was from hometown Penang untill I watched TV3 news later in the evening and was shocked to learn that the accident took two lives.

Now, this is what I need to share:-

I am a building contractor with over twenty years of experience and I have been driving my 5 series BMW (latest generation and a dammed solid road holding car) each time
I travelled to KL. Lately, the new extended 3 lanes highway had been opened up for use and since then, I have also been using it quite oftenly.

HOWEVER, when I used it each time it is WET, I can really 'feel' that the new road surface is extremely SLIPPERY! To share with some of you, my car comes with a built-in traction control mechanism (skidding prevention mechanism) and you can feel it each time it is activated. Previously, I don't come across this kind of slippery feel except when I drive over a paddle of water at certain speed.

From my observation as a building contractor, the 'wearing course' of the new road surface could be TOO FINE OR TOO SMOOTH and TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for highway use!
The wearing course (top premix layer) mix design for highways should be of minimum 20mm coarse aggregate mix that will give us the required bond between the surface and our tyres. Fine wearing course (14mm coarse aggregate size and below) is only suitable for normal road. (A proper test need to be carried out to determine the mix design of the wearing course).
Since the opening of the three lanes highway, I had seen cars skidding in front me or in the opposite direction and approximately 2 weeks ago, one of my friends who is also a frequent user of our NSE, came to share with me about his slippery feeling as well as the many skidded cars he had seen lately.

I am highlighting this to TV3 and The Star with the hope that a thourough investigation could be carried out immediately to find out how or what causes the bus to skid. A proper and independent test need to be carried out urgently to determine the design mix of the wearing course. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES.

2. Here is the Youtube link that justified about the technology he talked about in the email. From now on, I'll not driving fast at the stretch, especially during wet time and I hope you will do the same. And dont forget to tell your friend and family about this.

3. This is the event when the make of highway involved lots of bribes and such. When the accident occur, people might blame thats the driver's fault, but actually it is not 100% true.

4. The fault is big portionly thanks to the maker of the highway and the people who involve in the build. "I want to get this contract", "Give me 10%", "Ok, you got it", "Hey I wont approve the project, but 5% will do it", "Ok, you got it"..the contractor is then calculating, "Damn, I wont make any profit at this rate, I'll use crappy materials, so that I can profit too" This is how the tragedy begins..

5. Its kinda unfair if just blaming without suggesting any improvement. For my opinion, to remake or redo the badly made highway will of course eating a lot of efforts and money.

6. So that is definitely not the best solution. Since this problem frequently happening during raining/wet time, so it is best if the authorities could make something like signage on this problematic stretch. The signage must be visible during the heavy rain and must be made as frequent as possible. Such as "Be Careful during the rain", "Speed up, and your life will be sped up too" and such.

7. Huhu I think languange people is better on this. But the point is put signages as many as we can on this strecth so that people will know. And of course, after 10 years time, hopefully there is no such thing as bribe or misconduct of power during highway remade..
