Slow-moving cars encroach on the right lane on the highway, causing an accident – check mirrors, keep your distance, everyone
The highway should be a place where traffic on the road is less likely to have problems with others, since everyone must travel in the same direction on the same runway.
As shown here from scene However, when traveling North on the PLUS highway around KM312.6 near Tapah, last-minute maneuvers can lead to a collision – even if the obvious culprit appears to be normal. Monitor events from the front and rear cameras, and it’s clear that many factors have come into play.
The recording vehicle was traveling in the right lane – the faster of the two – when it approached the slow-moving vehicle in the left lane, in which two large tractor-trailers were following a white Honda City .
Immediately after the 18-second line, the City driver pressed the indicator light, although it almost immediately changed lanes into the lane of the car with the camera. Here, the driver of Honda City changed lanes, encroaching on the road part of the car with the camera without being sure there would be enough distance to enter the lane.
With the white car’s rapid lane changes, there doesn’t seem to be enough consideration here. Less easy to do, but equally important, is identifying potential hazards when using the right lane, in this case slow-moving vehicles likely to move into the right lane. right. From the vantage point of the front camera, it can be seen that the camera car narrowly avoided a collision with the City.
Meanwhile, the car with the camera is followed by a blue Suzuki Swift, starting in the shot keeping a reasonable distance from the car with the camera. However, it closes the gap, and it is at this point that the dashcam car has to brake urgently.
From the front-facing camera, we know it just missed the City ahead; The situation at the rear was not very good, because the Swift driver did not anticipate or reacted quickly enough to avoid a collision, so the two cars collided. Parts broke and flew away, although the occupants of both cars appeared relatively unharmed, and no doubt pulled over to exchange details.
Back in front-facing camera footage, the Honda City didn’t stop and continued to drive, passing two trucks, seemingly oblivious to the movie going on.
Perhaps we could all take a leaf in a motorcyclist’s manual, namely, to operate as if everyone was out to pick you up, as the saying goes. It may be most relevant to the more vulnerable driver, which in this case applies to the three important vehicles involved in this incident.
Ideally, we would be in cars with Comprehensive set of active safety features such as automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane keep assist and the like, however using these at their discretion is still the exception rather than the rule in current time. As such, the best feature in one’s safety toolkit is the driver’s own situational awareness.
