TL,DR - BMW driver tries to be a cheapskate and has skill issue, ends up needing to pay more than just parking fees
Guys… I’m running out of things to say for situations like these. Especially when certain vehicles are involved.
What happened?
A BMW 318 driver in Boon Lay Place decided to skip paying parking fees and that it’d be a good idea to pay for insurance claims instead. This is shown from how close they were tailgating the camcar.
I have not driven in a w
General Motors is trying to ease buyers concerns about battery life by announcing it will guarantee the upcoming Chevrolet Volt's lithium-ion battery pack for 100,000 miles or a period of eight-years, whichever comes first.
In addition, GM noted that the warranty will be transferable at no cost to a new owner should a Volt buyer decide to sell his car. According to the Detroit automaker, "it's the automotive industry's longest, most comprehensive battery warranty for an electric vehicle".

In fact, the winning driver can now do an in-car celebration of just about any sort. Stopping on track, picking up the flag, or just about any other creative celebration is now legal--so long as it doesn't endanger fans or officials, "call into question the legality" of the car, or delay the podiu
The vitriol in the comments is palpable.
What happened?
A motorcyclist hit a Volkswagen Golf while lanesplitting on the Pan-Island expressway (PIE) on 7th August.
The motorcyclist made a sudden swerve and hit the car, causing him to flip forwards and off his bike.
Looks like when an NPC glitches out in a video game.
What has people in the comments riled up is that the motorcyclist was registered under a Malaysian plate, which would (apparently) make it difficult for the Go
At the European driving event for the Volkswagen Golf R, company representatives confirmed that they would be setting up a new performance orientated division, named the R division, to compete with other similar divisions such as the BMW M division and Mercedes's AMG.
R GmbH, a limited liability company, will be set up inside the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany. In addition to representing the sportiest models in the VW range, it will be an expanded version of the VW Individual pr
I'm sorry BMW, but all your efforts to try convince yourselves that those who bought your 1-series are avid driving enthusiasts have failed. BMW had built the 1-series with the intention of spreading their gospel of the 'ultimate driving machine' and part of that picture they painted was the fact that rear wheel drive would be part of the recipe to build such a machine. However, it has now been revealed in a statement made by BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer during a telephone interview session with jo
Fast 8 is speeding into production. We recently learned that Charlize Theron is set to join the baddie side of the theatrical automotive equation. Now comes word that someone fresh will be added to Kurt Russell's team. Scott Eastwood, yes the son of Clint, is joining the team. He'll be under the tutelage of Mr. Nobody, so we assume that means he's set to help Dominic Toretto and his crew.
The movie is reportedly aiming for an April 14 release date in 2017. After that, there are two more in
Fiat's Abarth division is expanding its range with the launch of the esseesse tuning kits for the new Abarth 500C and Abarth Punto Evo models at this month's Paris Auto Show.
While Abarth is withholding most details on the "esseesse" packages that are designed improve the cars' performance, handling and styling, the Italian company did release info on the power upgrades. With this kit, the scorpion-branded 500 convertible's 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers 160HP and a peak torque of
You know what? It fits how we use other expensive things like phones, wallets etc to chope our tables and seats. This is just the natural evolution.
What happened?
An auntie in Star Vista parking lot yesterday pulled off a 1 v 5 clutch against other drivers to chope a parking lot for a Nissan Sylphy, of which she was the passenger of.
According to the person who submitted the video, they had been waiting in the lot for around 20-30 min before finally seeing a car drivin
The success of the Mercedes-Benz SLS, which has sold 5,000 units since its release and grown to include a Roadster version and has paved way for the automaker to release another AMG version. It will be a smaller, cheaper version of the SLS, poised to rival the Porsche 911.
According to Christoph Jung, development director of performance division AMG, "There is room for an AMG model below the SLS, targeting the Porsche 911. This is the next market for AMG, and we are considering what is the r
Is the Volvo really 'suey' or is this just karma hitting him?
In this video, a cam car tries to turn into a busy main road along Changi.
Situated behind him, a white Volvo follows closely behind.
The white vehicle creeps closely behind when the cam car driver enters the main road through a yellow turning box.
Due to the heavy traffic condition, the cam car cannot entirely turn out and remains in the box while waiting for the green light.
Noticing that
TL;DR - A collision occurred in Yishun between a Kia Forte and Honda Vezel at the yellow junction box.
Every Singaporean would know what it means to be kan cheong. We are basically born to sweat ‘kiasu-ness’.
For our foreign friends, kan cheong simply means impatient, edgy and hasty. So a kan cheong spider just refers to someone who possesses such traits.
Watch this 51-second video of a Honda Vezel colliding into a Kia Forte as it drives out from a minor road straight into the
With four-door sedans and SUVs having 600bhp or more getting more and more common, supercars are now 'required' to have more than 700bhp or else they would look slow...
McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt feels that the power war is not slowing down and there is a need to stop this from going on.
Speaking at the recent SMMT industry summit in the U.K., Flewitt called for a future 'weight race' to replace the traditional power race in order to have more efficient future cars.
While it is cool t
Reuters has just published a report saying automakers will be reversing the recent downsizing trends for both petrol and diesels engines as the small engines have trouble passing real-world emissions test.
While the turbocharged small engine capacity provided decent power for everyday driving, it is said that small petrol engines 'spew fine particles and carbon monoxide' and that the heat generated by small turbodiesels result in NOx readings over 15 times the legal limit. Renault's 0.9-li
If you're a car fan, chances are you're somehow familiar with the 'Transformers' franchise. Now, within around a year to come, you may be waiting in line at the cinema to get your ticket for 'Transformers 4'. Yes, you heard it right. The latest sequel to the robot-transforming car movies is expected to arrive by June 2014.
While most people are talking about Mark Wahlberg (remember him in 'Ted' or 'Broken City'?) replacing Shia LaBeouf as the main protagonist, what's more interesting to me i
The conflict between motorists and cyclists never ends.
Every time it happens, a dashcam video emerges on the internet for us to spectate the drama between them.
Here's one such video that occurred over the weekend.
Where?
The incident occurred at Kranji dam, along Kranji Way, which is a two-lane road.
It seems as if Tour de Singapore is the favourite pastime of Singaporeans these days and it's commonplace to see big groups of cyclists on the road nowadays
This Circuit Breaker has sure been giving us lots of funny and interesting events. I mean, we aren't even sure whether we should find this cool or silly.
We spotted this video on ROADS.sg's website where a man has been caught 'skiing' on our public roads at around 5.40pm on 5th of May.
Obviously the wet roads aren't the issue here as the short video clip demonstrates the 'skiier’ easily maneuvering around traffic.
We reckon everyone along Raffles Quay would be either impresse
Mazda has spiced up its still-fresh little MX-5 with a more driver-focused 'RS' grade. Named the Roadster RS in Japan (and unfortunately only for meant for sale in Japan), it features a couple of handling-enhancing goodies that will make the good handling little car even better to drive.
The biggest change to the car compared to base versions should be the addition of the new Bilstein dampers and the larger-diameter disc brakes. Elsewhere, a front suspension tower bar is installed.
When I first lay my eyes on the photograph above, it reminds me of the human-controlled robots in the movie Avatar, except that these have no arms. Coming back to the topic, General Motors and its Chinese partner Shanghai Auto (SAIC) presented a new trio of self-balancing two-wheeler concept vehicles that will be showcased in public for the first time at the SAIC-GM Pavilion at World Expo 2010 Shanghai that runs from May 1 through October 31.
Called the Electric Networked-Vehicle (EN-V), th
Here's something that happened in Fernvale you have to see.
According to this minute-long dashcam footage, on 2nd May 2021 at 8:51pm, a driver is seen turning left into Fernvale Link and stopping at the last minute when he realised that there was an oncoming cyclist at the zebra crossing.
Despite giving way to him, the cyclist glares at the driver, stops in the middle of the zebra crossing and gets off his bicycle to hurl vulgarities at the driver (we presume according to his
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5wssYZHVWcThe teaser for the next installment of Electronic Arts' long-running Need for Speed franchise left us wanting to see more. And now we have.
In the days surrounding last week's E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles—which also saw news regarding rival title Forza Motorsport 6—Electronic Arts released a full trailer, and it's even more impressive. The opening frames give us a taste of the game's narrative element, and as with the teaser, some
After the success of i30N, Hyundai is said to be in talks to expand the 'N' brand. It is rumoured that its compact crossover, the Kona, might be the next to get the N treatment.
According to AutoExpress, the Head of Hyundai N, Albert Biermann has instructed his engineers to a test mule of the Kona with the uprated drivetrain and powertrain of the i30N. Said to be equipped with 246bhp, the car will be available with a six-speed manual and will be front-wheel driven.

Hundreds of Tesla Model S and Model X owners recently gathered in China to set the 'Largest parade of Tesla cars' as a new Guinness World Record. The record, which is set in Beijing, China was made up with 100 Model Xs lined up side-by-side and 145 Model S vehicles.
We wouldn't blame you if you felt underwhelmed that only a couple of hundreds Teslas made it for the feat considering around 6,000 of them were sold in China this year. That said, the sales figure is still far away from the near
There is many reasons why racing drivers are called racing drivers. One of the reason must naturally include the ability to save the car from a horrible crash. Watch the video to see how the pro manages to save his Honda Civic Type R from an unwanted high speed oversteer accident during a training session for this year's Malaysian Merdeka Endurance Race (MMER).
