    I always make it a habbit to purposedly step on the brake pedal just ever so slightly even when there is no need to brake (just like in the video) so that my brake light lit up whenever i am the last car and the car behind me is still far. It helps the rear driver to be alert that vehicles in front of him are slowing down.

    Some drivers look out for brake light instead of gap when driving esp on highway. Brake lights can be seen from far. Gap can reduces in a blink of an eye.

  • This is why I never dare to brake in front of a lorry on the middle lane. You never know if there is a lorry in the rear making an emergency brake. I always hit the hazard light button if it’s sudden expected brake too to alert the vehicle behind

    This shows Perutdua has high safety vehicle! People should take a good look at purchasing a Perutdua instead of the equivalent Toyota

        Problem is it leaks after replacing it. Asyik nak pergi sc. Pastu nak void warranty bila buat kat luar.

    The Perodua Aruz frame protects the cabin space, plus the crumpling zone works perfectly. Alhamdulillah..
    Imagine old cars without adhering to the latest safety requirement, horrible scene

    Hopefully no serious injury in perodua aruz.
    I wonder if the airbags ever deployed to cushion body impact with vehicle frame?

    Death to the lorry driver. I don’t care if he even did not mean to caused the accident he still deserve death. If the law can’t take him down, then i hope other things/people will

    1. accident after the woman switch on the hazard light, maybe the lorry driver tetiba terkejut lalu tak sempat brake? but, still lorry at fault.

    2. please la, if you see depan you lorry/bas, belakang you lorry/bas, terus tukar lorong biar depan belakang you kereta. itu lebih selamat. atau at least belakang you ialah kereta.

    3. gap aruz dengan lori depan agak jauh, can you imagine if less than that?

    4. why the car with ori condition no modi always got accident? why the car modi lampu belakang tinted hitam tak nampak dia bagi brake ke tak tak ada pun accident?

    So many people concern about the dash cam year 2020, dude read the fucking article, don’t so obsessed with the wrong year

    Some people say Aruz fault, I think they need visit a mental doctor for consultation.
