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

    The Act of Creation

    “WHAT’S A GOOD USERNAME?!” Such was the source of my agony as I was handed a pair of figurative keys to MyAutoBlog. I’d asked the colleague from IT who was helping me set up this account if I really had to make an account with my work email, hoping I could use the username that came with my personal MCF account instead. “yes”, in lowercase no less, was what I got. Oh well. After a good 10 minutes (I think), I decided on this username (a reference I hope someone gets), juvenile and

    Carpark Review: Downtown East

    It used to be most associated with Wild Wild Wet (or Escape Theme Park if you're of a certain vintage) but now is more typically visited by those looking to shop at the NTUC Fairprice of E!Hub or Don Don Donki. Downtown East spans a total of 147,000sqm and was officially opened on 5 November 2000 (according to Wikipedia). For those residing in the far east of Pasir Ris, this is likely to be their port of call for the grocery run (the other typical location being Loyang East). But just how g

    Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a
