If you neutral on downhill road your car just keep accelerate because the transmission not connect to wheel so the wheel no resistance.

yup IMHO.. safety first...

haha.. not sure with wearing seatbelt, coz im totally confused about that early arguments about seatbelt / safetybelt.. (unsure if it is really safety) after hearing the deaths, maybe all of them did wear seatbelt, maybe not.. but is it still consider safe if vehicles rolled over..

those not wearing, sorry to say lah.

Yes, it can suddenly turns foggy, and nothing else you can do. Cannot stop, drive also cannot see, that's the worst part.

like silent hill!

This bus needs to run on highways, so i don't think passengers are allowed to stand for obvious safety reasons (traveling over 90km/h). Not sure if such city buses are allowed to travel on highways also.

You see KL-Klang buses, got use these City Buses?

exactly, it is even worst if the brakes are losing its braking performance = good luck stopping a bus that is over capacity.
put up some high walls with some recycle tyre to cushion it. Anything to prevent the vehicle falling off the cliff is already a huge boost on survival chances.

Besides it is also easier/faster for fireman and ambulance personal to rescue people on the road than the ones falling off the 200m cliff. Faster rescue = more survival chances.

the freaking road design was flawed.
who will design a 90° sharp turn with on the edge of 200ft slope ?

these kind of road can only get approval in Malaysia

KL klang buses got alot people standing.

don't think wearing seatbelts would help in this case.... the bus roll down the ravine. u are strapped to your seat waiting for all kinds of debris to hit you

Need to build more bumps... force them slowing down.

50-60yrs ago uncle lim have only so much technology to cut trough mountains. ever since that we have been using the same road, cant blame them lol

compared to last time, it is consider much better now, road have been widen by a lot, but still with retard driver, u can only do so much.

Build more speed bumps, and a bunch of people who like to speed complained Genting build even more speed bumps causing brake fade and loses it's efficiency.

i don't think the road itself is dangerous in nature, with careful driving and a good vehicle condition, you can make it through

there's more dangerous roads out there

it's not the first time buses jump off Genting cliff, after they add the extra lane in case of brakes failure still havent solve the problem.

what to do, this is malaysia

haih. kan he passed away edy.

RIP
we have new record

Agreed with this. At least Genting roads are so much wider now and you have more safety buffer should anything goes wrong.

I think not just downhill that crashes, sometimes uphill also can crash.

If you follow the advisory speed limit, practice proper downhill techniques, have your car checked and ensure it is in tip-top condition, there shouldn't be any issue. I believe those trunk roads with single lanes are worse.
