Treasure Hunt Crash

1. I had written a post entitled "Janitor on road is indeed a Hazard" that might relate to my current post today. Road janitor is undeniably among the most dangerous and risky job in Malaysia. While they are usually not practicing proper safety protection, they are working recklessly on the side of the road. My fear has become true. Below is the story that emailed to me.

2. The accident was occured in 2006 at Melaka near Malim exit. A speeding treasure hunt car (Proton Wira) hit a road worker that was doing some painting work on the fence divider. Then the car lost control and hit another car (Proton Iswara) from the opposite direction. The road worker died on the spot. Poor guy. It is not like his 100% mistake though. Sigh.

White Satria Jumps Into the River!

1. This was a crash that happened in Kuala Lumpur, where a white Proton Satria lost control and "jump" into Sungai Klang (river). Luckily the driver was safe and he managed to tell us the life-threatening incident in the email. Since the writing is in Malay language, I will write a short summary about his experience.

2. Don't take off your seatbelt during the airborne. Open the car door before hitting the water. This will make things easier because once in the water, it is almost impossible to open the door due to high pressure. Also, after landing, don't panic and control your composure. Break the car windows if the door is jammed. Immediately, you should swim away from the car if you manage to get out. That is all. :)


Jam 0130, 17 Ogos 2009, aku dalam perjalanan pulang ke Bukit Tunku selepas supper bersama rakan di Kg. Baru.. Setiba di Jalan Kinabalu, ada sebuah kereta menghimpit aku di sebelah kiri.. Aku cuba mengelak ke kanan dan terlanggar pembahagi jalan di sebelah kanan lalu kereta aku tercampak perlahan ke kiri jalan dengan keadaan tayar belakang over steer.. Untuk mengawal kereta dari terus berpusing, aku pun tekan la pedal minyak.. Oleh kerana jalan licin, tayar depan aku spin lalu tercampak dengan lajunya ke dalam Sungai Klang..

Dengan berbekalkan ilmu yang aku pelajari dari Discovery Channel, aku sempat membuka pintu sebelum kereta aku masuk ke dalam sungai.. Air masuk ke dalam kereta dengan lajunya kerana paras air sungai yang tinggi disebabkan hujan pada petang tersebut.. Cabut seat belt, aku terus pecahkan cermin sebelah driver untuk mengurangkan tekanan yang menghimpit pintu sebelah driver sambil membuka pintu dan terus berenang ke luar kereta melawan arus sungai yang agak deras....

Aku selamat.. Cuma cedera ringan di tangan, siku, bahu, dahi, tengkuk dan juga peha.. Syukur.. Nak kena bertaubat ni..Kereta aku mungkin total lost coz chassis dah lari habis.. Pillar dah bengkok..

Aku bersyukur masih selamat.. Banyak kebarangkalian yang tidak berlaku yang mungkin akan menyebabkan kematian aku seperti short circuit masa aku masih dalam kereta atau kereta aku hentam konkrit yang kat tepi sungai tu.. syukur....

Berkongsi ilmu sikit, Kalau kereta dah nak masuk air, cepat-cepat buka pintu dan tingkap.. Macam kes aku, aku sempat buka pintu je.. Tapi bila dah jatuh, pintu tu tertutup balik... Tapi tak rapat la.. Even tak rapat pun, aku masih susah nak buka balik disebabkan tekanan air yang kuat.. Aku kena pecahkan cermin tingkap sebelah aku untuk kurangkan tekanan air dan buka pintu.. Tekanan masih kuat masa tu tapi tidak la sekuat kalau tingkap tak buka.. Aku cuma mampu buka pintu sikit je, muat-muat badan aku nak keluar..

JANGAN TANGGALKAN SEAT BELT SEBELUM KERETA MENDARAT.. Ini penting.. Seat belt memang akan menyusahkan anda keluar.. Lagi-lagi yang pakai harness dan full bucket.. Tapi dalam kes aku, seat belt la yang selamatkan aku dari terhumban ke cermin depan aku yang memang dah pecah.. Seat belt juga la yang buatkan aku masih melekat kat seat.. Kalau tak pakai, aku rasa air dah tolak aku kena kat body kereta dah, tak pun kena kat cermin depan yang dah pecah..

Dah masuk dalam air, memang lemas.. Macam kes aku, lepas kereta dah mendarat kat dasar sungai, air terus masuk sampai tenggelam kereta.. Takde kesian dah... Lemas camne pun, JANGAN GELABAH.. Mula memang aku gelabah.. Sebab aku gelabah la aku buang masa dalam 5 minit kat dalam kereta untuk cabut seat belt.. Lepas 5 minit baru aku try tenangkan diri dan hasilnya, aku dapat cabut seat belt senang je..

Dah cabut seat belt, cuba cari jalan keluar dari kereta secepat mungkin.. Macam kes aku, aku pecah cermin belah driver dan buka pintu.. Aku keluar ikut pintu.. Kalau terpaksa pecah cermin, pecah pakai kaki.. Aku pecah pakai tangan sebab aku dah tak fikir apa.. Akibatnya, aku mengalami kesukaran untuk berenang sebab tangan aku pedih giler..

Dah keluar, JANGAN LEPAK ATAS BUMBUNG KERETA menunggu bantuan.. Berenang secepat mungkin ke tebing.. Tak reti berenang pun, cuba juga berenang.. Berenang macam anjing pun takpe, asalkan berjaya jauhkan diri dari kereta.. Kita tak tahu bila kereta akan meletup atau short circuit akan berlaku.. Macam kes aku, aku tak berenang ke tebing.. Aku asyik fikir nak selamatkan beg dan juga external drive office awek aku.. Pas dah keluar kereta, aku hulur tangan kat boot untuk amik beg, kemudian baru aku berenang ke tebing.. Nasib aku baik sebab tak jadi apa-apa... Aku tak dapat bayangkan kalau masa aku tengah sibuk nak tarik beg tu kereta aku short atau terbakar.. Mahu rentung aku..

Itu sahaja yang mampu aku kongsi pengalaman.. Harap korang boleh ambil masa baca apa yang aku taip ni untuk kegunaan kemudian hari.. Kita tak mintak tapi takdir kita siapa yang tahu.. Yang paling penting, bawa kereta berhati-hati dan ikut peraturan.. Nak mod kereta bagi laju boleh tapi biar guna dengan cara yang betul..

New Traffic Lamborghini Gallardo Patrol Car in Doha

1. This morning I got an email from my colleague, Ramizam about new traffic Lamborghini Gallardo patrol car in Doha. The car photos looks really awesome. To match public and people's fast and luxury cars in Doha, I think this is really a nice and intelligent move by Doha government.

2. But how about Malaysia? How Malaysia government counter the problem of many "super modified" cars on Malaysian road? Here is the solution: Mitsubishi EVO 10 Patrol Car. Not too bad huh.

Irony Malaysian Driving Style. Funny.

1. Somebody has sent me through the email about this funny little jokes of Malaysian driving style. I believe this cartoon illustration is from either TheStar or the New Straits Times Newspaper, well I'm not too sure actually. But I found it is really funny. If you don't know, "bodoh" means stupid. :D

2. I personally had this kind of experience. I saw a driver in front of me driving with his baby at the steering wheel at Jalan Sultan Ismail, near Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. So my point here is this is not just a cartoon, this is a reality that Malaysian or whoever to take lesson. Putting the baby in front of you not only disturbing your driving focus, but also will endanger the baby if anything happens. So please think safety.

BMW 645 Crashed at Autobahn Kaiserslautern, Germany

1. Got this story from the Internet. I found this story interesting because the crash happened at Autobahn highway which I think the only one highway with no speed limit. As told by the police investigator, "the driver of this brand new 645 BMW was going about 125 Mph when he hit the rear end of a Bob-tailed Tractor trailer. Really says something about the safety of the new car designs" He was actually blaming that speed is the issue while I wonder how can he know the speed of the car. No cars on earth will survive when hitting rear end of the lorry.

2. This happened about 2 Kilometers East of Kaiserslautern, Germany on Autobahn 6 back in early March of this year. The driver of the BMW is a 24 year old star for the Kaiserslautern Germany professional Soccer Team. Car cost about ¤100K or more according to the Polizei. He hit the back end of a Bob Tail AAFES truck and spun him 180 degrees around so he was facing the oncoming traffic.

3. The guy I was riding with was about 300 Meters behind the AAFES truck and saw the whole thing happen. BMW driver was doing about 200 Kph in the left of three lanes then a small car cut him off. The only option the BMW guy had was either hit the little red car that cut him off or dive into the center lane where the AAFES truck was.

4. He chose the truck. Never hit the brakes at all. No skid marks; happened too fast. Best thing was both drivers walked away. Truck driver had a bump on his right arm but no other injuries. Really lucky drivers. But shock isn't it? The driver of BMW walked away, with little injuries? Not dead? Hmm Hmm Hmm It is just too impossible ..

Horror Manufacturing Machine Accident Pictures

1. Somebody has sent me these pictures to my email. There are a lot more horror pictures of this case in my email inbox. But I just afford to post some because even me has some kind of goosebump watching these kind of horror accident pictures. If you are kind of brave person, you might be interested on this horror crash accident pictures too.

2. The title of the email is sleeping while working. I'm actually don't quite understand whether it is a joke or what. The victim was slept before the accident or the victim looks like sleeping after the accident. Whatever it is, I think the lesson that you can take is don't do your job if you were not fit enough. Asleep while handling heavy machine will indeed penalize your body and even your life. So be careful. One more thing, safety, health and environment (SHE) practise should not be negelected by any company.

3. If you want more picture of these, just toss me at message box below. Please be careful on your daily job because accident would occur without any warning. Prevention is better than cure.

A New Joystick-Controlled Mercedes Benz SCL600 Car

1. The newly introduce Benz is very different....really different.

2. If you do not know, this is new Mercedes Benz SCL600. The car is really different.

3. Look at the car boot now! It is indeed a different one! But not too weird right? Now coming to the most bizzare and grotesque parts...


4. No Steering wheel, you drive with a joystick. No pedals either! Can you drive with a joystick? Your kids and grand kids probably can. The influence of video games in our lives has really arrived. Wouldnt you say?

5. Got this from the email. So I digg around and found out that this news is indeed TRUE. But this car is made for a futuristic automobile research, not for sale. Maybe in couple of years, we can use this kind of technology, driving using a mere joystick! This design has been introduced at Paris Motor Show 1996 to show off groundbreaking systems for improving safety and comfort in a passenger car. For more details, go google DaimlerChrysler's F 200 Concept Study.

Safety: Silent Hazard Emission from Your Car

1. I got this email from a friend. Already search on the Internet to find the truth of this email but lead me to nowhere. But if we think logically, it is relevant suggestion and need to be instilled in our mind, especially those who reside in tropical countries like Malaysia.

2. According to research done by a U.C., the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener will emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen). In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes anemia, and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. May also cause miscarriage.

3. Acceptable Benezene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benezene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benezene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. The people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxin.

4. It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is difficult for your body to expel. Prevention is Better than Cure...

Horror Road Accident Crash Pictures

2. So please drive your car profesionally and respecting others. You could drive fast but please with full awareness of risks around you. What the heck you drive fast in the heavy rain? Dont be stupid...You might be interested on this horror manufacturing accident pictures too.

He Lived. Wear Your Helmet!

1. I got this email from my colleague, it has been a while, might as well you already read this email, but in case you didn't, this is something you need to stop and ponder. I will comment a bit about this road safety email based on my observation.

2. Introduction: A truck was traveling down the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Motorcyclist was traveling at about 120mph (180km/h) and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck. Truck driver said he felt the impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over. This is what we found...

3. What that guy is doing? Looking for his lost stuff inside the truck? But his body position is just too weird for the task. Lets zoom it a bit..

4. Holy Moly Poly! The head is just stuck at the back of the lorry. You might wonder why the rescuer didnt remove the guy from the lorry. You know the answer? I dont know, but from my humble opinion, it is either the guy was already dead (which implies that the title of the email is just wrong! haha). OR you know, you cant just remove a person from the scene without any consultation from medical expert as if u remove the guy wrongly, high possibility that the condition of the guy would be worsen and might as well be dead.


5. The introduction told us that the biker's speed was about 180km/h. So do you believe that? Maybe there were witnesses but how trustworthy these witnesses are? Even expert cant determine speed of a vehicle just by looking at it unless there are some reference point for example the expert know the speed of lorry before that severe collision. But based on my experience, the speed is relevant as I have seen my real friend speed up to 220km/h using his R1 motorbike! Anyway, to summarize thing, helmet is indeed could save life or at least if it didnt, it save your head from blowing out so that somebody will recognize you and your remaining is still intact. So what are you waiting for? Wear your helmet!

Update and Editted: He was DEAD, so my 1st assumption is correct. Follow this Link to Know the Truth
