    parang real-world crash test ng EuroNCAP and the like. No braking at umangat pa yung blue taxi...

    I also read the related article on the sidebar. may side airbag dapat yung hyundai taxi. unfortunately, the taxi company removed it to save on cost...

    Sa sobrang bilis ng ferrari, i think kahit lumingon pa sya sa kaliwa di nya rin makikita ferrari.

    This almost happened to me, turning left at an intersection, green ako but still i looked at left and right, and nakita ko ang layo pa ng mga parating sa kanan. Then all of a sudden muntik na ko mabunggo ng nag beat from my right.

    What i can suggest lalo na sa mga hindi trapik na intersection. Lalo na yung hindi "barado" yung kaliwa at kanan mo, then green ka at una ka. Flash your light and honk your horn and still look left and right. Also ask your passenger to be a good co-pilot, tumingin din sya sa kaliwa at kanan, 2 pair of eyes are better than 1.

    That's quite possible. Just by looking at the frames, the Ferrari or it's lights seemed to be nowhere near really and a small car travelling that fast at night wont really be seen oncoming at that speed.

    The armored car is one of those instances where the extra weight of the vehicle actually goes into the crash structure and not just the load-bearing ladder-frame (SUVs) or engine cradle. So you'd think it would be safe...

    But there are no crash tests for armored cars. Most local armored cars are adapted from trucks, and the armor is slanted to deflect rounds up (easy way to deal with small arms fire and some rocket attacks... angle the plate to deflect the forces)... so this means that the distance between the driver/passenger head and the windows is less... and there are no airbags to protect their heads from the heavy steel plate...

    Even worse for the guys in the back, who are merely sitting on benches.

    Granted, the weight of the armored car will absorb a lot of impact, but if they were also hit by a Ferrari going that fast, at least one person in the armored car would be dead...

    What a waste of life, especially to the cab passenger being at the wrong seat/place at the wrong time.
    Lesson learned the hard way... hit by a jeep crossing the intersection waaaaay too late and waaaaaay too fast. And that was in my first year of driving.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    A Chinese wealthy man who temporarily lived in Singapore. His wife was a famous Chinese TV hostess. The strange thing is that the girl on the Ferrari was not his wife, and the man's wife didn't know about the girl until the accident happened. Moreover, the female passenger on the Hyundai Sonata taxi is a Japanese girl.
    200km/h in a red light...
    Stupid driver
