    Initial finding mention the standard claim of ‘hilang kawalan’. From layman view of crash site pictures;
    1.Car was not going dangerously fast before and during impact. The car and bike will be in worst condition if the driver was being stupidly fast.
    2.The incident took place at a straight stretch thus visibility is not an issue despite the road not on flat terrain. However, the sun could play a factor.
    3.mobile phone?

    Personally, i am towards the 3rd theory of speculation if the ridet was ridinh well inside the road shoulder.

    This is where Sam supporters can ensure it does not repeat again by helping sponsor Munirah to get a top lawyer better than Sam’s who can pusing the case until she is free. Now this is the chance for these hundreds of supporters to walk the talk and not just talk on forums.
    What are you waiting for, Sam supporters, your redemption is at hand!

      In future,when you spot basikal bagus or lajak,better play safe,…stay 20 metres behind them and only overtake if you have ample time and space.
      Imagine,your licence gantong till your court case is over.Can you afford to take Grab for the next 5 years?
      At the same time,please install a dash cam…it will save you and the police precious time if you are not at fault.

        I thought this is the what every car driver should do right?

        Isn’t it better to be safe and not hit the cyclists?

      • In First World countries, pedestrians, cyclists & mopeds gets priority and right of way, cars & other motorised vehicles have to play safe and be aware of their surroundings. Any accidents and they are responsible no questions asked. I see a good precedent for us to follow these First World countries.

    Car drivers should be able to stop and not hit the cyclists. I have seen so many cars stopped in the middle of the road and I never once hit them. There was 1 time where I was traveling at around 120km/h on PLUS at 5am and a car just broke down in the middle of the road without hazard lights and yet I managed to stop.

    Conclusion: if car drivers really concentrate, they would be able to see the cyclists and stop in time. These drivers did not concentrate for sure (maybe sleepy or adjust the radio or looking at mobile phone etc.)

  • I put my horn in good use when I’m approaching either pedestrian, motorcycle or cyclist when they’re encroaching on my right of way. This is not to be viewed as arrogant but to let them know there’s a bigger vehicle than themselves approaching so that they’re aware of their situation surroundings.
