Toyota Vios driver ‘sabos’ a motorcyclist when attempting to turn right with an obstructed view

TL;DR – A Toyota Vios gets smashed by a motorbike at an uncontrolled junction while attempting to turn right when there was another vehicle impeding its view.

 

Back in your army days, if you had a platoon mate like this Vios driver, you probably would have ‘blanket party’ him for being a ‘sabo-king’.

Quote

Sabo – Causing trouble for others by your actions. Also short-form for the word sabotage.

Watch the 42-second video to understand why.

What happened?

According to the caption of the video, this incident occurred in Clementi Ave 2, at 5pm+ yesterday.

A motorcyclist overtakes cam car and accelerates ahead only to go head-to-head with a Toyota Vios attempting to make a right turn at the junction.

Use your brain

If there’s another vehicle obstructing your view, inch forward to see if there’s any oncoming traffic like normal people maybe?

Who in the world ‘cheongs’ without looking?

Damages look bad

Damages to the motorbike aside, the Vios looks like it got banged up pretty badly too.

Good luck with the insurance claims.

Whoever thinks the motorcyclist is at fault, is blind.

Hmm. Interesting.

This is like a road junction where the traffic light is out of order. Free for all. In basic/advance theory we know who has the right of way and who go first in the form of drawings. In the real world like this case the motorbike has a "I dont brake" mentality, everything you learn from the book goes out the window.

  • 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

    We happy few, we Band of Brothers

    It is safe to say that one way or another, the majority of Singaporean men have served their country. Be it sleeping in the jungles of Mandai, walking the beat on the streets of Clarke Quay on New Year’s Eve, or putting out fires (literally) clad in heavy protective gear, most local and naturalised male citizens have given up, as the song goes, “two years of our time”. But many have differing views of National Service. Some see it as a hindrance, a waste of time. Some see it as an opportuni

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 6)

    Fireflies. Not a topic I think about often, if at all, but here we are.  On a recent podcast episode, I learnt that the light that fireflies emit is nearly 100% efficient. That's amazing (nature generally is). And it is precisely the study of fireflies (and their light) that has allowed the development of more efficient LED lights.  On a whim, I did a bit of extra Googling, and lo and behold, Japan pops up once more, with yet another culturally-unique eccentricity.  In Japan, ther

    Sgcarmart Explores: Japan Edition (ft. the Nissan Ariya)!

    The approach of the year-end holidays often also means the annual pilgrimage Singaporeans take to Japan to soothe their souls after a long year will soon kick into high season. (Just open any of your social media applications - Instagram, Facebook or TikTok - and you'll see.) For the many amongst us who can spare neither the financial expense nor the time, however, there's no reason to fret. Allow the mind some space to wander, and one will find there are many places on our sunny island tha
