omg. that place is jinxed!

dru you better go put some nice offering to the gods of the road.....haha....

But vans and suvs type vehicles are more prone to such accidents due to high cg and excessive body roll whenever they corner. The rain would not have helped. Plus singaporeans tend to have habits of stepping clutch when braking....(i dunno why but i observed that in a number of my friends) and that could cos the wheels to lose traction and skid(or unintentional drift).

Hi Genesis, maybe you wanna be the first member from this forum to find out how fast can our ride tackle the new exit since the prescribed turning line has been redrawn and we have to redetermine the new "angle of attack". Cheers!

Haha! Well, did u notice that the "slippery" section that caused all the accidents before has now been marked off with crossed white lines? So, the new angle of attack is not to cross the white lines :p Those that do are doomed
