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

those buses are very heavy and hard to stop, overloaded with passengers.

no use arguing on the forum, nothing will be done to change the roads anyway.
few months later same thing will happen again

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

I tell u if they wanna retain the current wall, this wont be the last accident to fall off cliff. see the wall = basic rock + bricks only, no steelbar reinforce one. then no recycle tyre cushion also to absorb impact, so if Langar terus fly over to valley. doh.gif

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

What I experienced last year, Heavy Fog + Rain. There was a moment where it was worse than this but I didnt snap the picture

anyway what happen to that proposal few years back to equip all buses with black boxes ?

black boxes might be too much. make it a mandatory rule that every bus should install dash cams or surveillance camera. like the incident that happened in china

1. bus never do maintenance, tayar botak dont care. bus runs non-stop until breaks down. all wants to maximize profit.
2. driver all driving non-stop.
