Darryn Turbocharged September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 i even have the habit of checking both directions when crossing a one-way street. never know if some dim wit will drive in the wrong direction. There was one guy that got run down by a car reversing the wrong way down a one way street.....he died. Can't remember what happened to the driver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoonz 4th Gear September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 very true, actually on hindsight, all our x-junctions should be installed with these: Some do have but not all... I'm sure these bollards can probably stop a car or even a van... But anything bigger than that like a truck then barriers of any kind also useless...

Typhoonz 4th Gear September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 I wonder how they secure these covers on the calipers? will they get dislodge easily? I guess they would need tightening once in a while... Not too sure because never used them... Also can't imagine what will happen if they get dislodged while you are driving...

Shibadog Turbocharged September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 Yeppers - lately teaching dotter to stand back a bit from roadside, also so that she doesn't introduce uncertainty into the mind of drivers. Someone standing right at edge - never know what will do, someone standing back a bit, then can be more "relaxed". at my estate, those waiting at driveway for a vehicle like to stand right at the front edge of the kerb. As the driveway isn't very wide and makes for a tight turn, thus cars with long chasis n long front overhang will make the turn with bumper going partially over the outside corner kerb, brushing the knees/shins of pple standing there. Once I deliberately pushed aside a (softsided) luggage bag that someone put at the kerb edge. Dunno why some pple so gan cheong to board and never do risk-assessment... And the kerb is less than 2 inches high,,, one day a noob driver will drive over the kerb and knock over someone standing on kerb. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ake109 6th Gear September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 Mind letting me know how to spot the difference . Thanks. In this particular pic of the Kia, you can see that the normal black/grey calipers are showing behind the red 'brembo' covers. The real Brembos would be all red. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Turbocharged September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 just screw in so they drill into the stock calipers? I guess they would need tightening once in a while...

Blueblueman 4th Gear September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 We mostly are drivers , we do know that we tend to cheong more when we were young It sounds stupid but just raise the age limit to 25-30 then surely rates of accident will be lesser Anyway Coe is so high in Sg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 These things are like trees. If drivers crash into them the drivers may die impacting it. In the event of a car heading towards such bollards, likely chances are the pedestrian are innocently standing there, and the driver is the one losing control of the vehicle and thus more liable. Under such circumstances where either one of them have to die, then I say, save the innocent.. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
