this morning when driving along AYE to work as usual, travelling
at about 70km/h, i signalled to filter off from the 1st lane to
exit into science park.
i was focusing on the left wing mirror while filtering off, all of
a sudden the front cars all jammed brake (for dunno what reasons)!
when i realised the sudden stop in front, my car was already very
very very near to the Toyota ahead.
i jammed brake too and shouted "What The F!!!!!!!...." in that
split nano second, waiting to Kamikaze.
i was damn 10001% sure i would ram into the toyota in front.
my March put up her legendary braking power, i could hear the ABS
kicked in, i was thrown in front but the seat belt pulled me back.
when i came to a complete halt, and senses, my front was barely
milimeters away from the car in front!! one third of my car was
already into the second lane during the filtering.
i did not go down to measure but it was damn close, i wouldnt stop
so close to a front car even in normal circumstances.
for my March to achieve this braking distance was really really
impressive, moreover the road was semi wet from last night's rain.
all my previous cars would sure ram in and form part of the
impressive looking chain collision!
MUACK! MUACK!! (kisses to modern technology and my Nissan
March!!)
fortunately the cars behind were quite far away. i continued to
filter out to the exit and drove off.
man, this incident woke me up from the monday morning sleepy
head!
