My 3 weeks old Forte going for a facelift

This morning met an accident at SLE after Upper Thomson exit. It's a chain collision involving 8 cars. I am the 6th car. Recalling back, I am very amazed. In such chaotic accident, nobody is injured. Immediately after the accident, everybody is cursing and swearing at the pregnant army officer lady who drove the first vehicle and jam brake. After which everybody starts talking on the phone. I am the only person keeps taking photos and asking them for driving license and details. Why nobody accept it's an accident and move on to do the recording immediately? More than 4 workshop owners turn up at the scene before TP arrive. They are trying to encourage us to repair at their workshop. How efficient they are!

I was even more amazed with my Forte! I actually managed to jam brake and brake at a few cm away from vehicle 5. If not within seconds, vehicle 7 & 8 bang onto me and the impact caused me to bang onto vehicle 5, I would have saved my NCD If I am driving my old Vios, I definitely can't stop on time and banged onto vehicle 5. My Forte braking system powerful SIA! Tested and proven liao BTW, vehicle 7 is a Vios. I really can understand why he banged onto my Forte. But to my surprise, vehicle 8 is a BMW. Such a heavy and sturdy car can't brake on time?

Also to my surprise, my Forte can actually still move after the accident. My old Vios definitely can't move anymore if banged on the front. As expected, 2 of the 8 vehicles can't move and have to call for EMAS to tow. Guess what? They are Vios.

Now my Forte is with C&C waiting to be "facelifted". They say need 2 weeks to repair. SIANZ! My Forte only 3 weeks old. I was given a Mitsubishi Lancer EX as a replacement car. Lancer is light and can really feel the light spirited pick up. However, it doesn't have that many gadgets and features for me to play with. But I like it's rain sensing wiper though

oh, its so sad to hear that about your forte, hope C&C will fix it and give it the original look and no damage will can notice.

Hi Bed.... sorry to hear about the accident. U sounded very positive and seems sure of what u r doing. Thank goodness nobody was injured in this accident. Can you tell us how the insurance work for u in this case? Do u claim against the car that hit u from behind? What about the car that u hit in front?

Sorry to hear about your accident.

It is a good thing to keep a cool head and take all pictures and drivers' details.

This the only security / evidence that you have.....

You are roughly in the similar position that I was in 8 years back. 4th car in a 6 cars chain collision.

Sad to say.... the female army officer is probably getting away even though she probably caused the accident since she is the first car as the insurance company will blame the car behind and he/she in turn will the blame the fella behind...The logic of this case is that all who bang into the first car are driving too close to the one in front. So, the pity should go to the last car, the beemer. Being the last car, the time he can stop his car is a lot less than the front vehicles.

If you don't have video evidence to proof that you stop in time, and 7 & 8 bang into you.....whatever you say is probably not going to help you except how badly damaged is your car.

And please keep the original pictures and gives only the copy to workshop. In my case, the car driver in front took all the pictures, but he gave the originals to the workshop and the workshop refuses to give me a copy of the pictures....because the pictures can exonerate me and weaken his claim.

Unless all the cars are with the same insurance company, it is probably going to be a long drawn out case. You will get lawyer's letters from the other cars' insurance companies....it's going to be "fun". It took me four years to get back my NCD. In the meantime, the yearly insurance premiums are really painful.

u dont sound depressed .... anyway... any pics to show the damage to ur car... want to compare with the damage i got when i was sanwiched between a honda accord and toyota altis a few years ago..... i was using an older kia then....

Sorry to hear about this incident bro, look on the bright side, u get to drive a EX for 2 weeks !!
Some don even dream of owning a EX due to its pricing

So you are the one.
I passed by there. I rem yesterday there were 3 chain accidents.. from my route TPE,SLE,BKE,KJE, PIE
Urs were the longest... .JAmmed @ after Thompson exit...up the bridge section....

Reelax man. Most important no one injured.
I read from some statistics. Auto cars has higher chances of accident. I wonder if out of the 8 are all autos?

Bro, want to find out from you if the ABS was activated? In case you're unaware, it should have a very fast "beating sound" and possibly vibration in your brake paddle.

Cos I was previous in an accident too, car suppose to have ABS but in the end, like never get activated like that. Maybe I didn't step hard enough.

Sorry to hear that. Good to see that you are so positive. But just to manage your expectations alittle chain collisions usually take a couple of months to years to settle fully. But just ensure you file the records and sign the accident release from both the front and rear driver, especially the rear.

For those don't sound depressed and still can stay calm becos they had met a few accident before and learn from past experience.
So TS had done a good job. Take photo, write down drivers detail first (Draw picture of the road when necessary) and talk later.

how many times u get banged before u become a "bang expert"?

Trust me. There is a difference between if you kenna bang and you bang people and if u dunno what is going on.

Btw, the front car wont be able to differentiate if you are banged by someone then hit him or you hit him directly so it is important to get the statement from the guy behind you.

oh! bed,
Sorry to hear that , but glad as no one was hurt.. ya..
i passed by that morning (opposite) seeing that massive jam all the way to yishun exit.. didn't realize of any forte in it..

Yes.. our forte safety is 1st class for its price... tested to with ABS activated... (or whatever system there..heee..)

but so lancer EX is lighter? but its 1.5l to ya?

at that kind of speed and distance, even a porsche can't brake in time. i don't know why sg drivers these days love to tailgate one another, and then blame others (eg. the lady driver) when an pile-up accident occurs. isn't this already been taught in driving schools?

too impatient.....
too much power too soon....
so little time .... so many things to do...
so little money.... so few passengers....
or just because....
i paid a lot of moolah to have this car and i paid for the road
.... get out of my way....

interested to see the crash pictures

some cars are made to completely chui when involved in accident to protect the driver, a few days back i saw pics of a lancer ex bang into 1st floor hdb house, the wall of the house and the gate totally bent but the lancer ex only got paint chips

wonder how will the forte hold up in an accident

sometimes cannot be helped la, this is something like the crowd theory where when an even happens, only the 1st 2 people infront of the queue will know whats happening, the 3rd and 4th will know only half, the rest behind don't know anything at all

so in that sense the 5th car onwards will have less than 1 sec reaction time even if all cars involved have a 2 secs buffer

last time i was driving spectra... honda and toyota mangled but the kia was dented.... so i want to see if forte have the same solid body as spectra....

if i'm not wrong the purpose of having the car to crush up so easily is to absorb the impact and protect the driver, so having a car with a strong frame isn't good

but in sg if the car chui and you are ok also you still die haha

the percentage of car hitting a bigger automobile (truck) / wall is much lower to the percentage of a car hitting another car.... so if one car crumple fast and the other car is built like a tank, i will go for the tank....
i understand ur point just personal preference and experience....

wahahaha!!!
let the other car absorb your impact instead

its rainy season now, stay well clear of the car in front of you and if the car behind is too close, filter, change lane and let him pass.... no point testing your brakes or let the ones behind you test their brakes...

i like Kapi's suggestion....
For me ... on headlight + fog light..... plus anytime HORN The liviing daylight of any car that tries to cut into my lane.....
small bike in heavy rain .... drenched to ur balls....
ITS PURE CRAP>........

speed limit is the cause.. cause have to drive so slow.. that's why end up everytime step abit and the car zoom zoom so fast so end up all tailgate lor...

But joke aside.. some driver really asking for it one, cause they can drive in lane 1 and yet drive slowly taking their own sweet time. I really hate these driver. Also they are the one that will always tend to suddenly jam brake here and there even infront no car.

So whenever I see these driver I will change lane and try to speed pass them before something bad happen.

no I will correct your statement.....

its rainy season now, stay well clear of the car in front of you and if the car behind is too close try jam brake here and there so that he can bang into your back and for those who have their back got dented or whatever damage is time for you to repair it for free....

lol

make sure is CAR.. not others.... >.<

Idea sia...

The tank is better.....

In my case, the front car badly damaged.....the car behind badly damaged... my car not too bad as both front and back have steel bar in the bumpers. My car looks ok, but the both the front and back cars look like scrap cars.

But whatever it is....it is no fun being hit so hard like I was...you are practically thrown forward violently and than recoil backward violently and forward again....that is where the whiplash protection is important.

So the advise is get out the way if you can....

And Singapore should introduce laws to fine those drivers driving slowly on lane 1. Such law are provided in the USA e.g. in California.

I am claiming the 7th car (Vios) for my damage. The 5th car (Mazda 3) claiming my insurance.

The pregnant lady jam brake cos there's a car skided and hit on the road divider. But it's some 6/7 car distance away from where her car stop. That's where it causes a lot of unhappiness among us, the victims!

Yeah, I don't think I got a good case as I don't have a video evidence.

As expected, my premium next year will be high and my NCD drop by 30%. This is the price we pay for driving in Singapore! Luckily no injuries or dead, if not more draggy and may be call for court summons......

This is the price you have to bear for driving in Singapore! Emotionally affected, but life still goes on. So long as no injuries and still living, still got a car to drive, I think I am ok for time being......

How to upload picture?

Yeah, today realise EX horn so loud! Aircon on at 23 degree C whenever I come out of car, my spectacles fog. It's keyless entry!

Oppss... Sorry to cause 1 of the jams. I wanted to move off, but no one seems wanted to move.

I am not sure about whether all 8 are autos. But 6 are japs, 1 Korean and 1 conti. Mine is the newest

When I first step hard on the brake, no ABS activated. Within seconds ABS kicked in and I step even harder. So hard til my wife (only passenger) told me later she can feel the whole car vibrating.

Yeah, I very experienced 1 Got rub against by 2 motors while filtering lane (Lesson learn: Never switch lane whenever I saw on-coming motors no matter how far they are), banged by 3 cars from behind (Lesson learn: Step very hard on the brakes and make sure you don't bang onto the car in front) banged a Nissan Sunny back to beat traffic light (Lesson learn: Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front when entering traffic light cos you won't know they may jam break on seeing amber light and get ready to stop) and banged a Camry back by keeping at least 1 car distance at speed of 80 to 90 km/hr (Lesson learn: Never drive behind a super cautious driver and keep at least 2 car distance away when moving in expressway). I talk like BUAY PAISEH. But actually I very PAISEH to list out my experince But just want to share my experience and especially my lesson learn. Chain collision is my first time. Why I can keep my cool maybe also partially I am a Financial Planner myself and I always update myself with trainings provided. So I know roughly what to do in such situations. But theory and on the ground is really a vast different.

Yeah, I only know when I saw car 1 to 4 suddenly jam brake and i start stepping on the brake, next second car 1 to 4 crash onto each other. The adrenaline kicks in is when nearing the crash and you see car 5 also jamming hard on the brake and you are so near to each other. It's when all collision stops that I dare to come out of the car and realise car 1 stops because there's another crash site some 6/7 car distance away from her.

Hi bed... i'm glad that u and ur wif are ok...

Do the airbag activate once u hit the front car ?

Thanks. No airbag activated. My Forte bonnet did not bend. So the internal is still ok. Wanted to show the pictures of how hardy our Forte is, but can't upload. Anybody can help a low tech person on this?

there are 2 icons for images when you do the quick reply at the bottom. one is to host the photos at another site, while another is to upload manually? play around with it and im sure you can manage. and btw, sorry abt ya ride.

This is the worst case scenario i ALWAYS anticipated on the road. On highway when any cars follow behind me and I can't see their head lamp i'll tap brake Intermittently to signal them. May not eliminate accident but at least reduce the impact and keep me alive to go back to my family.

Sad to say even if u do that....some don even bother about your signalling to them....especially those that has "I am faster than you" or "I am in a hurry", "get out of my way" ego.....only when things happen then they regret.....

But Bed you never hit the car infront of you right?

usually if i dont see the headlight of the car behind me.. i will signal left and let them cross.. remember nv hog the right lane!

but this case the pregnant lady shld on her hazard light while e-braking.. so other car behind knows she's slowly down emergency!!

anyway not many pple can react in such a way..

look at the accident pictures.. can see that mazda metal is quite fragile.. forte can crash so deep in and look forte bonnet did nt bend upwards.. look at the vios bonnet.. crash in with bonnet bended up!
