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!
Netizens' Comments
This stereotyping is somehow relatable.
Let this be a lesson learned.
What a troll!
