This Hyundai driver's sluggish lane change caused an unnecessary chain collision

This Hyundai driver's sluggish lane change caused an unnecessary chain collision

As drivers, I am sure we have met our fair share of annoying drivers on the road who switches between lanes either without due care or simply because of their indecisiveness. 

Here's a perfect example of an annoying driver that falls in both of these categories:

Where And Who Were Involved?

The accident happened along Ang Mo Kio Ave 10, just across Townsville Primary School. 

In total, two cars (a BMW X5 and a Hyundai Avante) and one motorcycle were involved in the accident.

What Happened?

Initially, the Hyundai Avante was travelling on the left-turn only lane. It then changed to the next lane, to be positioned right in front of the cam car. 

Wanting to filter left towards Bishan Road, the Hyundai driver decided to change back to the left-turn only lane after several cars passed by it.

For unknown reasons, the Hyundai driver took his own sweet time to complete his lane change, and this was where tragedy struck.

The BMW X5 who was travelling at a relatively fast speed, could not stop in time, causing it to smash into the side of the Hyundai Avante. 

Following this, a motorcycle travelling directly behind the BMW X5 also could not react in time, causing it to smash headfirst into the rear of the BMW SUV, literally.

Looking at the image above, can I say that all the lane switching involved was entirely uncalled for?

Regardless of which lane the Hyundai was in, he could eventually turn left if he had the patience.

Kudos To The Biker Bro

Despite receiving the brunt of the impact from rear-ending the BMW, the motorcyclist made an effort to check on the other parties involved in the chain collision.

Good on him for that!

Who's At Fault?

This accident will undoubtedly pose a challenging case for the insurance companies involved to determine the party/parties at fault. 

Reading the comments, the public had mixed opinions on the party at fault, which included:

(a) The Hyundai was at fault; 

(b) The BMW was at fault;

(c) Both the Hyundai and BMW were at fault; and

(d) All parties involved were at fault.

What do you think?

All matters aside, regardless of who is at fault, I wish all the parties involved a speedy recovery!

This stereotyping is somehow relatable.

Let this be a lesson learned.

Agree with you on this. Sometimes being slow can pose more of a hazard than being safe!

after replaying the video several times and checking the time gaps i think the avante waited around 5 secs after the last lorry passed before making a move which i think its a bit long but he did signal so the x5 should have noticed and anticipated a sotong driver and not come in at such a high speed, probably didn't even notice the signals, and the poor biker also assume it's all go so that's my assessment.

Ah, that stretch, drivers are quite fast on the straight and cannot brake in time if this happens.

That's why I go quite slowly and get scolded by wife all the time :XD:

  • Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev

    A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Relaxing to restoration videos

    There are tons of YouTube videos one could watch to unwind and decompress at the end of the day, perhaps while having dinner. You could watch one of those nature documentaries, travel vlogs featuring beautiful beaches, or perhaps a cooking show. But there's something strangely therapeutic about watching restoration videos. And the channel I find myself drawn to is Fumicho Restoration, a channel full of videos of old motorcycles being repaired and essentially reborn. I'm not even familiar wi

    Building a racing-themed watch!

    This. This watch dial is the reason I started on this particular watch build... It all began when I came across someone's build that utilised the same dial - prior to this, I did not even know of the existence of a Walter Wolf Racing branded watch or dial. If you don't have any idea who or what Walter Wolf Racing is, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Walter Wolf Racing was a Formula One constructor active from 1977 to 1979, which won the first race the team entered. It was owne
