if you check back the street view

the road BMW coming from was not there at 2018



and with new road, they end up with a 3 way stop, since the side road to Hilview used to be the only road linked to the main road

and the new road would have the stop line as well

Nope. Town Council had those lines drawn across the road, everyone abides by it. No 2 ways about it.

Bro., do you understand why the Town Council had those lines drawn in the first place or not on the straight road ?

coming from a school area POWIIS, (not saying they are from there)
should a driver be more alert?

or izzit like singaporean
at home country kwai kwai chai, woff woff

but pass the imigresen, act like tought guy, speeding, throwing rubish etc

so the BMW drebar pass the school area, and though can speed through and through?

The driver seems to be trying to change the narrative here by insisting he is abiding all rules on the road and using his father's injury to gain sympathy.

Agree with you on the accident "happened outside the junction".

Driver trying to get away from the accusation of dangerous driving, caused a death.

I think yesterday was also the same day as the funeral of the deceased lady.

Though the fb post is no longer available, it did show the where the impact point was, and more important, the moments after the impact until the car stopped.

It obviously shows the driver has no control of the car after the impact.

The million dollar question: was the driver in control of the car before hitting the bike?

In control meaning the driver is driving the car at a speed he has control over and able to stop at a notice and reasonable distance, heading and guiding the car in a direction he wants with his eyes on the road and hands on the steering wheel.

In short, if a car is going straight on the road, it could be the mechanics of the wheel alignment that is holding the car straight, and not the driver. The driver is merely a passenger and not in control of the car.

The driver has clearly lost control over his vehicle after the point of impact. Was he in control before impact?

As someone who drives in Penang for more than 5 years, motorcyclists are coming out from junctions without stopping or without even looking 95% of the time. I am always angry about them and curse them to be rolled under big lorries. But that doesn't mean I can hit them to death and escape any punishment.

When a motorcyclist comes out from junction IN A RESIDIENTIAL AREA without checking,
A. Car with proper speed and driver with full attention, would have seen that almost immediately, initiated an emergency brake, knocked down the motorcyclist with injury, and the motorcyclist should fall down almost the same spot where he/she gets knocked.
B. Car which is over speeding, driver who are not paying attention ( probably playing phone ), would not see him/her coming out from junction, continue speeding, then hear a big bang, drag for a few meters, motorcyclist fly up high, only then come to brake.

In this case, the BMW driver obviously speeding ( from the video ) in residential area, not paying attention ( did not brake in time and some more dragged her body for such long distance ) and doesn't respect for others' life at all ( being cocky and not even apologizing after killing auntie ).

This driver should get sentenced for maximum ( 10 years for dangerous driving I think ? ) punishment. Sadly there is no heavier punishment for drive-to-kill in Malaysia.

Just another day in Penang land of fairness - when we all know in fact its all a façade done by DAP to hide its scamming and plotek criminals state reality.

I tell you, bring to court at most also sit in jail 2 years denda 5k because papa mama is there to protek as usual by approaching the state MB's party and 'settle' one. 

Life and justice is very cheap when its in Penang.

Ah thanks for the info, just on news always see people serve very short time.

Btw any reduction fmupon good behavior basis?

Thats why whenever you near junction you should always lift the throttle even if you have right if way

Good question. Why?

No road sign, no stripes, no bump, no prior warning, suddenly want the cars come to full stop.

Why?

Just put speed bump every 100 meter la. Confirm safe one.

By the way, that house where the accident happened and someone passed away in front of it...  the value of the property how? Got drop ar?

yes yes might as well remove traffic lights in junctions to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow

roundabout is a good one where it encourages everyone to at least stop or slow down.

ok assuming there are no others car inside the roundabout

if there is another vehicle in the junction ahead of you entering the roundabout first, then you should give priority to him first.

You don't go bang into that person and then claimed the vehicle suddenly came out from the junction. The other vehicle is there first, so one should slow down for that vehicle who came in first in the other junction.

likewise in this case, where are stop lines for all lanes. Whoever there first is given priority first. BMW should slow down for the auntie who appeared in front of him first.

Penangites will know this roundabout at Jalan Terengganu very well

There are stop lines for all parties. All should come to a stop.

But very often, you will often see some speeding cars and bikes along Jalan Terengganu who didnt stop at all.

If you are coming from Jalan P Ramlee, you are often at the mercy of those speeding cars and bikes along Jalan Terengganu. Some of them don't recognise the stop lines at all.
