In my few years of driving I was unfortunate to meet with 3 accidents. My first accident is I have to E-Brake because a Lexus RX300 skidded at a corner and end up a car hit me from behind. After this incident we just took down each other info and report to our own insurance to settle the matter which was pretty clear cut. The other 2 accidents happen is that I have to E-Brake because this IDIOT infront just cut in and JAM HIS BRAKE .. as I always keep a good distance i was lucky not to hit the car infront but unfortunately the car behind me hit me from the back. For me is the usual case of take each other details and just want to report to our own insurance again..but for this 2 accident ...some how very quickly there will be a "GOOD CITIZEN" stop by the side and offer us help. First thing this guy will say hey anybody injured...oh thats so lucky no one was hurt...and he will go on...hey let me help you with all your insurance and I know a great work shop they are really reliable...and he can arrange the tow truck to come right away both time I was already very frustrated with the accident and he keep pestering me to use his service and push me his namecard...I have to keep repeating myself that...I HAVE my own workshop whom I know I know how to settle it...but he will keep pestering..and keep saying good service and provide me a nice CAMRY to use...and you KNOW WHAT...next day he call me again to offer the service and insurance claim and I have to tell him off saying I HAVE MY OWN SHOP WHOM I KNOW!!! But this first incident I yet to smell anything fishy till ...... During my 2nd accident - I just change to a new ride.... suay suay the same case happen AGAIN! One idiot CUT IN CLOSE AND JAM BRAKE!!! The car infront of me BREAK FAST ofcourse while I did the same..... lucky i never hit the one infront but 2 more from behind hit me like a chain reaction. Then a "GOOD CITIZEN" stop by and the side again and offer us help.... he keep pestering me again and offer his service.... he told me his workshop is in SIN MING.... I say I hate to go SINMIN area as It was very far from my house and workplace.....once again I was frustrated with the accident t already I have to tell him OFF! The very next day he called again sounding very concern and offer me the SERVICE STILL!!!! THIS TIME.... I think again! CAN IT BE A SCAM! If a group of syndicate organising accident on SG highway to make $$$ out of it.....but yet again.... I forget about it move ON! BUT WHY I WRITE THIS ON THE FORUM TODAY IS THAT..... Few days ago a friend whom I suppose to meet for lunch and end up she call saying she couldnt turn up because she got into a car accident as someone E-brake in front of her and a car from behind hit her hard and she end up hitting the car infront as well.......after she settledown she called me and I jokingly ask her whether some insurance people come up to her and offer her help..... she say YES! and how I know.... She said a "GOOD CITIZEN" came along and ask her not to worry and even bring her car for inspections on the damage and then later bring her to the workshop... Then I asked her.... think again...where got people so free on a weekday escort you around to do all these.... She THINK AGAIN....and said ya.... and was surprise the agent was only concern about her and explain to her everything about what should she do after an accident like this.... and she also tell her the workshop will offer her a CAMRY to use and it is in SIN MING....where the inspections and workshop is at....the accident happen in the EAST for GOD SAKE! After I also explain to her what happen to me once...she also think that her accident might be a SETUP....cus alot of things are questionable..... My point of POSTING this message is..... I wonder how many people here came across the same incident....it is just my theory there are some syndicate doing this on SINGAPORE ROADS.... earning $$ from this type of accident SCAM..... For me I TOTALLY CONDEMN SUCH SCAM ACT as they might INJURE OR KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE and also such SCAM will cause the raise of our insurance $$$ for every users on the road..... I think ALL THE INSURANCE COMPANIES and LTA authority should do some INVESTIGATIONS on this ISSUE and for those who happen to come across the same situations try not to listen anything to this "GOOD CITIZEN" who will pop out right after an accident. A GOOD CITIZEN will be one who stop by ...ask how is everybody and maybe help to stop traffic and push the car to one side and ease the traffic.... not a SALES MAN showing concern which WORKSHOP we want to bring to.... GOD BLESS AND DRIVE SAFE............

I kpo, happened to see the above. Kindly see attached: http://www.pdf-archive.com/2012/12/20/list...d-19-dec-12.pdf

My wife hates the idea of driving up all by ourselves to KL or Malacca. And if any of our friends were to come along on a seperate car, she is fine. I think the bad press of robbers etc in M'sia has frightened her. Are there any tour groups etc that does these kindda of trips regularly... ie drive up in convoy and they get all the lodging etc for us etc... Any idea on this? thanks.
