haha another 5000 km before need to service. Rotate then, then either time to change car or change tyres 

Yes. +5 since i usually pump when its warm. Door sills instructions is 225 front, 220 rear.

Have a portable pump for pumping tyre when cold. Door sill says 240/230 front/rear but I do a 245/235 as I wanna account for some loss when I remove the pin from the tyre.

225/45/17 2020. See if I can nurse them till I scrap the car in Oct 2022 😔

Lol if u think that is 120-130kph. U need a better guesstimator in your brain.
This speed is only seen if u watch performance/racing cars beating it around a track. 

This is either just around 200kph estimated around +-20 kph either way. If u actually ever been to this road, then the estimates by our other MCFer and this guy on the video are pretty much spot on. Given that the video guy timed it to the actual frame the car disappeared from the video, his timing of 1.16s is definitely accurate. So it's only the distance of 71m +- a few metres. Cos from my estimate of the distance IRL, it's very close.

That's crazy! This kind of recklessness, no need the arms of law. They could not escape the law of physics and chemistry.

It's plain suicide or murder.
Whichever way you look at it.

On the track, we would do the same.  Round after round for warm up, faster tighter each time.   So its no surprise.  
 

Like what you said

if not this "round" then the next "round"

If not today then tomorrow.

Haiz...sigh .. empathy, sympathy to the affected families. No amount of words can console them.  As parent ourselves we all know how hard and how much efforts needed to raise a kid. Not to mention they are all well educated. Making a good living.

Just a moment of folly all five lifes gone.

Public bus ply along that road if I remember correctly. A taxi stand around the old "木吉他” 民歌 restaurant.

wa hahaha wa the consideration is between changing cars and changing tyres? I'm impressed hahahah!

but ok la 5000 even if the front is more worn still can tong la, but if the tread is thinning 5000 km later just change whole set lo.

I also practice the +5, have a tyre pressure monitor (internal) installed and its usually just about right (e.g. 235 shows 230 on the monitor)

a blood test is the only conclusive evidence.

What you said is merely circumstantial evidence.

I'm sure the insurer is going to go all out to disclaim the driver etc... 
Actually if u have CCTV of them drinking and the drinks served by the restaurant, got invoice etc.

Have to wait for the coroner to conclude.

If blood level alcohol is below a certain threshold, it is not drink driving le.

Ascertain blood level alcohol is important.

one RMIT, 3 SMU....consider well-educated. But too bad, school didn't teach him common sense and limitation of man made car. I guess too much encourgement from school nowadays, "you can do it!" "nothing is impossible!" all the kids are super pumped up and ready to do the impossible. 

Not bad lah. As mentioned i didnt bother to read their background, i only know they are insurance agents
