I highly doubt the passengers wore seatbelts, which is why they died.

Basically the Myvi must have made the Pajero lose control.

Btw., you still think that safety features are not so important? Defensive driving more important, and it all depends on fate? Seatbelts and airbags could have saved the Pajero passengers. Stability control might even have prevented the car from losing control and rolling.

It was a Pajero Sport with ASTC (stability control) and 6 airbags, which were all deployed in the accident. It was T-boned at high speed by a second Myvi, which caused it to roll. The only question was, whether they wore seatbelts.

If you are not aversive to /k, there is a 95 page tered there with news and some info.

Select images from that tered. Credits to the TS

According to Paul's website, the Pajero Sport Euro edition (which was involved in this accident), has 6 airbags but NO Stability Control..

I see, I stand corrected then. I guess if it had, maybe it would've avoided the second collision....but now we'll never know.

It takes minimum 2 retards to make the sheet happens.
While the Myvi drivers racing are wrong, doesn't means that the Pajero driver is right either.
The only thing that makes Pajero driver right is because he died. If the Myvi driver died, then the Pajero driver would take the blame.
If not going to overtake, there's no excuse to simply change lane.

Who change lane?

It would be good if he and the Pajero passengers get most of the blame, because what they could have done to avoid certain death is rarely done by Malaysians.

There is no conclusive evidence that they did not wear their seatbelts, and sleepwalker has already mentioned the regular 3-point seatbelts is not foolproof especially in a rollover.
