Another day and another careless driver.

Today, we have for you guys an accident that happened at the junction of Orchard Road and Buyong Road.

We did note that his brake lights weren't on all when he came into frame, suggesting to us that he could have fallen asleep at the wheel, letting the car roll forward into traffic.

Which made me ponder: Just how far can you actually get away from everything?  Well, the question has two answers.  The actual most remote point on Earth is called Point Nemo. Situated roughyl 2,688km from the nearest piece of land, it is known as the oceanic point of inaccessibili
