A failed 'drift' attempt at a bend results in a car slamming straight into the wall

You would realise that drifting is never/hardly seen in Singapore due to the strict traffic laws that surround us. 

With an exception for motorsports events in a controlled environment, such as Gymkhana, which require drivers to skillfully manoeuvre around various obstacles while performing handbrake turns and drifts to clock the fastest time possible.  

And then this guy shows up: 

What Happened?

This accident occurred at CTE Havelock Road exit.

A car which seems to be a Honda Accord (Euro R maybe?) was seen exiting the CTE tunnel at high speed while performing a 'drift'.

Initially, everything seemed fine until the front-wheel-drive (FWD) car lost traction at its wheels.

As a result, the driver lost control of the car and slammed straight into the wall. 

Do you think the driver performed this 'drift' intentionally? 

Or was it a mere mistake on the driver's part by attacking the bend at high speed?

P.S. For those that aren't aware, front-wheel-drive cars cannot perform conventional drifts like what we see in Fast & Furious.

A very good explanation by our guru.

It looks like it was an oversteer and then the driver over-corrected it.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Germany is weird, too

    As we've previously established and regularly highlighted, Japan is pretty weird.  And as it turns out, Germany's kinda weird, too:  m2-res_720p.mp4 The above video has been making its rounds on social media, and the simplest description of it is that it's a game where they are trying to cut an object (here, a pretzel) EXACTLY in half. It's pretty amazing that the person actually succeeds, but the fact that this is a game at all (on TV, no less) is fascinating.  Schlag d

    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
