When the odds catch up..

....with recklessness involving innocents, it is supremely sad.

It isn't Singapore, it isn't anyone we know directly, but it so easily could be. Interviewed 2 minutes before the incident, all the drivers, and all their friends, would have claimed that they knew their driving limits, their car limits, and that all who had gone before them were just inferior to themselves. But the truth is, no one absolutely knows the limits. No one is god.

Speaking of which... (after looking at the porsche) RIP to whoever it was inside..

I was driving along west coast highway late at night (wasn't going fast) on the 3 lane road towards city (this area is located somewhere near the Macdonalds.

When i was driving along the left lane, suddenly out of the darkness loomed the trailer transporter on the left lane on the 3 lane road. Meaning, there's no truck pulling it, and it seemed like it was freaking abandoned on the road.

PSA port is nearby, but just wanna warn everyone that it's a potential issue especially if the trailer is left under a dark spot, it can be almost freaking impossible to spot until you're near it, especially at night. The trailer wasn't yellow but black(or grey). Could have rammed into it and goodbye charlie too.

Drive safe all.

Then separately you have this guy who at least seems to be running at sanctioned events but then perhaps he still continued with the street stuff looking at the magnitude of impact..

So even a very capable car with the best tires, brakes, suspension, etc. will not save from recklessness - because recklessness is the single largest factor by far in getting into major trouble.

Even good old German engineering can't save a person from impact at moderate speeds (only in terms of total speed range a vehicle like that is typically capable of).
