hi, i have something "exciting" to talk about.
see this pic up there? okay this is not the actual road that i am going to talk about, and as you can see, i edited the pic with pain by drawing two curves which is supposed to depict a u-turn kerb because i cannot find any pic that has those fences in the middle with a u-turning kerb.
actually what happened was i was on my way home on a cab. so when it turned left at Bowen sec that area, its supposed to go all the way straight b4 it will reach somewhere near my house.
so actually i was chatting with this friendly taxi uncle, and we were approaching a cross junction ahead just b4 the Hougang CC, and a few metres ahead on the right is a u-turning kerb.
so suddenly this "sports" car behind us with blue neon lights just started to accelerate, the increasing volume of the exhaust caught my attention and as i turned backward, the car got very close to us.
in a split second, the car was approaching the u-turning kerb and i heard it accelerated again and the next thing that happened was it go right straight into the centre divider hitting the fence!
oh man and instantly the fence collapsed to the ground the the front bumper of the car was wreaked!
on the other side of the traffic there was actually the car that was incoming, thankfully the fence that flew a short distance did not hit it, same for the car which banged into the divider, it went over to the road that is oncoming and there was a car that just passed by but on the extreme left lane.
when the whole thing happened, i looked at the taxi driver. wow you should have seen his face man, he doesnt seemed surprised or what he just took a glance back and started to talk to me.
he said the driver was out of his mind because firstly that driver is speeding, secondly according to the taxi uncle, the guy behind was trying to cut into us, that's why it accelerated but when at the kerb, he just went right into it.
so actually i didnt know whether tt guy wanted to go straight, or turn at the kerb, or maybe he was drunk.
but i hope that driver is not in any serious injury man, lucky for the car that was on the other side of the road that nothing happen to it.
oh yeah it kind of blew me off my seat as this is the first accident i ever witnessed in a "real-life" scenario.
