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.

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 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

    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
