Comparison: Dog ran over by car vs 2 Year old ran over by car

A dog was ran over by a car; watch what happens. Similarly, a 2 year old child was ran over by car twice! No one stopped to help the poor child. The van driver really deserves to die! I do hope they catch him and give him the justice he deserves.

Mitsubishi ASX Crashes into tree by service centre

Mitsubishi ASX crashed into tree by service centre mechanic

Story from Elizabeth Chai:

I sent my car for a routine service at the Mitsubishi service centre Balakong branch (Target Orion Star Sdn Bhd) for the 50,000km car service on 15th March 2013, Friday at 10am. My car was in a good condition when I left the service centre. One hour later, at 11.07am, I received a call from the service centre. I was told that my car was involved in an accident when the mechanic test drove my car outside the service centre and he rammed into a tree. I rushed over to see my car and took some photos of it. Both front airbags had deployed, the front windscreen cracked and the car bonnet was unable to open for me to view the engine. I have no idea of the internal damage because of this. I was told that the accident happened after the mechanic lost control of the car due to the steering wheel locking itself. At 4.10pm, I met with Mr Chang Tai Yean, Senior Service and Operation Manager. He told me that the offer for compensation was to repair the car for free with original parts and return to me. Mr Chang also told me that the car had a brake malfunction, which contradicted the earlier explanation. Mr Chang then also mentioned to me that I had signed the service order on which the Terms & Condition stated they shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to my vehicle. Please then tell me who should be held responsible for this accident caused to my car? I went to see the site of the accident with Mr Chang. We noticed that the car veered from left to right and left again before hitting the tree. There were no skid marks at all.

Toyota Avanza accident at Subang Jaya infront of Empire Shopping mall (2013)

Looks like the Toyota Avanza lost control and turtled, probably due to the high centre of gravity for the Toyota Avanza. Drive safely everyone! This happened at the corner right after Subang Empire shopping centre. 

Electronic Stability Control? Whats that?

While you may not feel it in action, most new cars are equipped with ESC. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps drivers maintain control of their vehicle and to avoid crashes by reducing the danger of skidding, or losing control as a result of over-steering. 

ESC activates when a driver loses control of their vehicle. This is possible through computer controlled technology that assist in applying individual brakes, helping the driver bring the car safely back on track, without the danger of fish-tailing.

You don't want to end up like this Toyota Camry! 

Why do I need it?

Australian research shows that ESC reduces the risk of:

• Single car crashes by 25%
• Single 4WD crashes by 51%
• Single car crashes in which the driver was injured by 28%
• Single 4WD crashes in which the driver was injured by 66%*

No other active safety device has such potential to reduce single car crashes.

Volkswagen Golf GTI falls down a ditch

Volkswagen Golf GTI falls down a ditch, after being involved in a high speed joy ride with another vehicle (believed to be a Proton Waja). I guess even with the traction control, the driver could not control the car and skidded into the ditch. Well, time for a MK7 Volkswagen Golf! Anyone got info on the actual story?

Honda Jazz accident at service centre

A Honda Jazz falls through the hydraulic lift and is heavily damaged. This occurred at a service centre, which is not known whether it was an official Honda service centre or a 3rd party service centre. Nevertheless, this Honda Jazz would require extensive repair, as the bumper, side window, doors, and bonnet would require major repairs which could easily cost RM10,000 (USD3,000).

BMW F10 M5 survives crash at 300km/h

We know that BMW's are very safe, especially when compared to our local Proton Cars, but just how safe are BMW's actually are? Well, apparently, a 60 year old BMW driver was travelling on the Autobahn highway at the BMW F10 M5's top speed; all 300km/h of it. Just like the Proton Preve accident, some external forces swerved in and caused this gorgeous BMW F10 M5 to lose control and crash. As you can see, at 300km/h the car is a total loss. Well Proton is much better...
