Terrible accident along jurong west ave 2

[So_nice]

just pass by jurong west ave 2(after PIE exit, just before corporation rd exit) and i saw a terrible aftermath of a traffic accident. a car overturned from opp side, towards KJE/airport onto the other. make of car totally unknown and petrol leaked across all 4 lanes of the road. also saw a mz3 stopping by the 1st lane about 20 meters away from the scene..

 

hopefully the driver/passenger of the unknow make vehicle is alrite..

Damn scary... speed limiter on trucks. No 2 way about it.

[So_nice]

u mean its a truck/lorry?

[Voxy28]

Commercial goods vehicle... bus, trucks, lorry, van, bike (fast food delivery). I think big trucks/lorry should be limited to 50km/hr, Van 70km/hr, bike... difficult to apply. Anyway the first group are more important given that they are huge giants that cause more damage in the event of accident.

 

Alternatively, LTA can assign roads to different users. 1st lane for bus, lorry, no overtaking (4 demerit point and $200 fine for travelling on faster lane). 2nd lane for light goods van / car. Fast lane for cars... what do you think? With so many construction going on, the roads are just filled with big trucks that makes driving so dangerous esp along AYE in Jurong.

this is the 2nd turtle incident i saw in a week. the last one being at wlds ave 12 towards SLE. a huge lorry i think is a daihatsu delta overturned.

 

rainy days ahead! pls drive safely. be it for urself, ur family or other road users.

this is why i was willing to pay more for a sut, rather than buy a car......

[Voxy28]

I hope is a SUV and not slut. base on your typo.
