QUOTE(Kampung2005 @ Oct 11 2010, 01:21 PM) Problem is that by making the divider stronger, it won't prevent accident, because when the bus hits the divider, it may cause other cars on that same direction to be affected. There is no proof that by making stronger divider, accidents death can be prevented. At the same time, the highways in Japan or South Korea are similar to design in terms of barrier, but they still have lower accident deaths compared to Malaysia. well u got a point but still i cant stress enuf the more deadlier consiquences of fast moving vehicle ramming into the other side of the road let alone a full passenger bus! same lane cars might easily see it happening n do emergency brake. QUOTE(bananajoe @ Oct 11 2010, 01:26 PM) its not about divider, its about enforcement and mentality.should revoke the company's license. i kinda lost hope for those already. sigh.

That is why I think it is not the barrier issues. The government should implement laws to make it a disincentive to drive fast ie not based on the number of trips for the drivers to be paid. Secondly speed limiters and GPS are needed to make sure that they cannot overspeed. This kind of tragedy happens almost every year with successive ministers talking c**k. It is simple logic that it is bound to happen if you travel by bus from Singapore to KL and observe the speed vis a vis the traffic volume. So pray hard that the driver is skillful.

Whats needed now is: 1. GPS system 2. Speed limiters 3. Black box 4. Skillful driver 5. Attractive salary / benefits

QUOTE(Revamperz @ Oct 11 2010, 02:45 PM) yea n speed limiter complete with schedule inspections based on my exp using PLUS every week. If u drive 110 km/h most of the express bus will potong you or follow you very closely. If u want to potong express bus u need at least 130 km/h to do so or even more with some of the bus. it becoz most of them are driving 120-130 km/h even for the double Decker bus.
