A video of two drivers speeding and almost crashing to their deaths seems to be circulating on social media, Whatsapp groups and Telegram chats.

Here's the link to the 14-second video.

 

They almost died

In the video, you can see both the BMW and dashcam driver take evasive action to avoid a head-on collision with a stationary vehicle on lane 1 (rightmost lane).

If they had crashed, based on how fast they were going past other cars on the road, they would have died. 

Online Chatter - Pro or lucky?

I'm not even sure whether to be horrified or impressed by the display of lightning quick reflexes in the video.

Netizens seem to be leaning more towards impressed.

Indeed. They are waiting.

This is one of the many hazards along expressway. Driver simply leave the car without any ideas of the safety of others. Where is the flashing Triangle sign to place a few car lengths at the rear to warn others? TP and LTA should spot check on cars for this safety signboard.

Good reactions, but this (from the cam car view) is exactly why you leave stability control fully on when driving on the road. It is likely the situation would've ended very differently without this driver aid active.

I know a few self-proclaimed "expert" drivers who claim to drive routinely on the roads without any stability aids on. I just smile and walk away. On a track where things are more controlled, you can do what you like, but on the road, it's a different set of priorities.

If you look at the E34's 3rd brake light, he was on the brakes several seconds before the swerve so he must have seen the parked car and planned somewhat in advance (maybe waiting for that 86/brz to clear).

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Less caffeine leads to more dreams

    There's nothing like a double espresso to kickstart your morning, especially if it's extracted from medium- or dark-roasted beans. What a tasty way to begin the day. I enjoy coffee, but I'm not a caffeine addict so it's not a must for me to consume. In fact, lately, I've only been drinking it once or twice a week - doing this ensures that when I do drink it (to power my way through a hectic day), the caffeine kick will be well and truly felt. I did not stop drinking coffee thrice a day

    Why oolong tea could be the superior drink of choice at lunch

    Coffee - without sugar! - has long been (and still is) my go-to option to accompany my lunch. Amidst a larger 2025 goal of reducing the number of cups of kopi-o kosong I gulp down a week, however, I’ve recently thought about how my lunch experience can be switched up slightly with yet another sugarless drink: A can, or indeed bottle of oolong tea. Oolong tea is said to offer a perfect balance of flavour and functionality - perfect not just for complementing one's meal but also reinvigo
