Overzealous Megane RS loses it and crashes into the barriers

Overzealous Megane RS loses it and crashes into the barriers

Another high-performance car has been spotted in a crash while going at a good speed.

Our latest post shows a Black Renault Megane RS going at a decent speed before losing control while stepping on his brakes. 

From the video, we can see that the driver was trying to avoid the road works in his lane but curiously, the car seems to have malfunctioned while he was on his brakes. If you looked at the video carefully, you could see straight black lines on the road, indicating that the tyres locked up before he slammed into the left side of the viaduct before bouncing across into the opposite barrier.

While it did seem like the Megane was at or slightly above the speed limit, the crash is quite a mystery to us as under normal circumstances, there is more than sufficient space to stop or avoid the roadworks.

What do you guys think? Could it be a brake failure, tyre puncture or a case of the driver falling asleep at the wheel? Let us know in the comments below!

Because it's a French car 😄

Could be due to tyre condition, oversteer, or condition of road, eg. oil on road.

Speed isn't that fast. Seem like just normal avoidance. Dunno how come so jialat lol. Even a attrage would have been able to handle that without issue?

I think something big impacted the windscreen. It's on the passenger side. The driver must have been startled and lost control...and crashed. I also noticed it's drizzling. The road is actually wet.

Time to bring a case to Renault. For all we know, it could be a car malfunction..

The Megane RS does not appear to be driving super fast and neither does avoiding the road works require it to make sharp turns.

For a sports car to be unable to handle this, it's really unexpected. Worn out tyres could be a potential culprit.

At least driver immediately put on hazard lights so further chance of rear collision

    Still learning to let go

    I believe that you need to let go of things in life to make room for new experiences. It sounds hypocritical coming from a former hoarder like me, but it is quite possibly the most important lesson I've learnt these past two years. Decluttering or tidying up is cathartic. That's why I feel clearing out your house can improve your life. Like many, I discovered this before moving into my BTO, as my better half and I attempted to clear out our guest room. Horrifyingly, it had become 'The

    ERP 2.0: Possible positions for your processing unit

    Your OBU's processing unit isn't always mounted on the passenger footwell. Depending on the car that you drive, more than one option may be available! Since November 2023, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been gradually replacing in-vehicle units (IUs) with the new on-board units (OBU). The OBU will pave the way for smoother traffic as we transition to the new ERP 2.0 system that is based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology.  The OBU comprises three parts: An
