EVER missed a turn when driving? It sure is a hassle to make a long loop back to your original destination, especially if the road is experiencing heavy traffic jams.
But not for one driver, who probably never misses a turn in his life due to his superpowers. What other super power could it be if not the power of ignorance?
Recently, a video post on X went viral, capturing a tragic road accident that occurred just near the entrance to Pavilion.

A white car could be seen making a sharp turn to the right to enter the parking area.
However, a motorcyclist who was in his lane failed to stop in time, resulting in a terrible crash that dented the right rear door of the car.
Sprawled on the ground, he did not rise again. Scenes such as these are aplenty in Boleh Land where road rage and incompetent drivers do not separate.
But what makes it interesting was the fact that it divided netizens’ opinion on who was right and wrong.
According to netizen @dpkhoo, the car was at fault. However, the motorcyclist should have buckled his helmet which could be seen flying off his head during the collision.
Also, @lupislurpee said the motorcyclist appears to be day dreaming, not having noticed the huge white car in front of him.
However, @herphilosophy7 defended him, saying it was not a lane for turning left or right, hence he will not expert the car cutting inside.
Her thoughts were echoed by @azlanrms who made his case with a picture comment:
@tradexfx further claimed the road entering the parking area of the Pavilion is treacherous.
However, @aimanitqan said the driver should have just made another turn to avoid such a disaster from occurring.
Then there was @XC_nurulnad pointing out the arrogance of the driver who emerged from his vehicle merely to snap photos while he stood there and vaped. No help was offered.
“If the motor had been substituted with a lorry, wouldn’t that be nice,” said @zakesahak.
Probably an attempt at sarcasm, @sixxxcigarettes said it was 100% the fault of the motorcyclist that he did not ride a LRT or MRT instead.
We are disappointed that @sixxxcigarettes did not outright blame DAP for this tragedy.
But on our part, it is vital to point out that regardless of whether a motorcyclist is on the right side of the traffic law, he or she is still riding without much protection, besides the cloth on their skin and a helmet which amount to almost nothing.
Vigilance is advised at all times when riding on a motorcycle. The white car driver is clearly in the wrong here but he will come out of this accident harmed. Think about it.—Mar 26, 2025
