I not gonna speculate if speed played a factor, but that turn is a dread turn


Yeah i agree but i can see this only affecting ppl who unfamiliar with it.

When they repainted the lines they made the turn off so short that yuh have to brake suddenly from highway speed into a sharp corner with rises and drops in ur daily driver.

Was limin with one of the people who mow down that sign. Was a cool story.
He was drunk and mow down the sign. So he just sit next to the car to chill. Then the car bust out in flames. He run by the people right there for water but water was gone, so they give him 1 bucket they had. With his drunk self he miss the entire car with the water then sit on the grass crying until the authorities came. I couldn't help but laugh at him.

^^^^ WORD!!

~ 100 degree turn and then take into consideration, when the road was first built it was cambered to the inside about 7 degrees or so across two lanes, but when it was widened, they flattened it out. that camber plays tricks on you when u hit that bend. Almost like u get an uneven feedback at the wheel sometimes.

Thing is this is a very close friend of mine, Kels lives around the corner from the crash as well as just down the road from me, literally a stonethrow away. It was 4 0'clock traffic. I have heard that a fellow came out of the side road immediately onto the highway without filtering and he pulled to avoid and this was the result, looks to be that he collided with a lampost, thank God he is alive and if it is indeed a driver that just kept on driving seeing the carnage that happened behind him, it will definitely come around. Please don't look at the car and say is a fassup car, this guy is meticulous, did everything proper, suspension, brakes, power upgrades (RB26DETT), everything and he is a perfectionist. Update is that he has a broken collar bone and is now experiencing pain so has gone to Medical Associates for further checks. Let's not speculate until we have facts and keep him in our prays.

He should consider himself lucky. Given the car, he will be branded as driving recklessly (even if he wasn't...but I'm not SAYING he wasn't eh!), and God forbid someone else had been involved, he'd be in trouble, so to speak.

Only he and his car alone were involved, no other collisions. Plus he has injuries that are not life threatening, and he will recover - that, is lucky man.

Saw Kels today, bruised and battered but alive. Guy is a real trooper, he is in good spirits and to the bad driver karma is a beyotch. Car pulled into the middle lane and he swerved to avoid and picked up a skid on the left lane and it was all over after that. Get well soon buddy, people try to be cautious of your surroundings on the roads, a side mirror is there for a reason don't just pull into a middle lane at 40Km.
