I dont see any morons.

It's just some guy with a underpowered car with poor judgement.

It's very common to overtake someone in these conditions.

Only in Singapore, people cannot perform these maneuvers and say others are reckless.

eeerrrr...

 

Actually no. The common practise is to let the first car in queue have first bite of cherry. Moron move is in trying to overtake 3 at once. Note, front car already tailgating truck trying to get past.

greedy bugger~!

cannot see the front still want to overtake~!

I think he can see. Its just that he didn't accelerate hard enough and was stupid enough to try and overtake 3 vehicles at one go.

If i am the car cam I would quickly try to squeeze into back of truck rather than continue to overtake

 

Or else if really try to overtake the truck I would tap my honk to let the truck know I am overtaking and require him to slow down

 

 

 

In conclusion this guy indeed a moron, u must know ur car performance well before doing this stupid stunt

Don't think its a car, possibly a truck, much higher than the 2nd car and also higher than the pick-up truck behind the white truck.

 

Cannot estimate the speed and distance.

Note - the front car was tailgating the truck (in itself a stupid move) there was really very limited space (at least from the perspective we can see) to squeeze in.

 

It was obvious rather early that he wasn't going to be able to make it - at this point (IMHO) his best option would have been to brake, and pull off to the right shoulder as he slowed - not try and try and try.

 

As a side note - the NZ roadcode teaches

1. You should take it in turns to pass slower vehicles (front car has priority)

2. You should INCREASE your folllowing distance when you want to overtake - the theory being, you drop back to about four seconds behind, start to speed up on your own side of the road, then pull out, pass, go back in - the general theory is that by doing this you are up to overtaking speed BEFORE you pull out, so you spend least time possible on the wrong side

3. Having driving less powerful cars in the past, on roads I knew well, I would hang back even further - up to 8 or 10 seconds, and then "plan" the overtake - for when I know there was a straight coming up, get it right, and you will have a 20 - 30 km speed differential by the time you pull out, making the overtake "easy"

Seems like when it goes to the opposite lane, it didn't even "try" to accelerate or overtake. Like staying there waiting for durian to drop. Or maybe he overestimate the car ... It's at full rev and still can't move.

 

Camera is good though. Flip liao still stay in position and working.

No matter what either he goes to road shoulder or squzze in back to his lane rather than head to head collision

 

 

And if waiting 8-10 sec behind, it would be harder to overtake. Or else why bus overtake by tailgating?

 

 

The NZ theory applicable to empty traffic not at the traffic in the video

Driver in camera-mounted car should had accelerated faster if he was overtaking others travelling at that speed. The said car may had worn shock-absorbers, so loss adequate road adhersion to crashed like that.

Probably truck in high speed thats why 2 car behind truck don't dare to overtake as it would require big power to do so

8 - 10 seconds is too far - I used to do it beause I knew where the "straight" sections of road were - I could time it to get a bit of speed up, and then be reaching the straight section just on time,

 

In general though - if you car is not so powerful, drop back a little - and then get up to speed BEFORE moving to the right lane - this minimises the time spent on the wrong side of the road, and you can always abort if need be.

 

this advice probably not as relevant as it once was (I see it has been removed from the latest NZ road code)
