Viral Video Captures Horrific Accident Of Lorry Turning Turtle To Crush A Car

---

 
DRIVING safely on the road isn’t enough nowadays. People should also take up crystal ball gazing as a skill to find out more about the complications they may encounter on the road.
Even if people abide by all the traffic rules, they never know when a heavy truck would turn turtle and smash right into their car.
That is exactly what happened to an unfortunate family as captured in a video post by netizen @HezeriSamsuri which has gone viral. 

“Although the highest number of fatal accidents still comes from motorcyclists, it is very obvious that something harsh needs to be done to heavy vehicles,” said @HezeriSamsuri.
He added that logistics trucks are vital because without them, the trade system would be paralysed.
“It is true, but when we control the time limit for entering the highway, they say it will delay delivery time and have a negative impact on the industry,” he said.
The viral video has since prompted many netizens to discuss about safety measures on the road where heavy vehicles are involved.
Netizen @007___ recommended that the height of the barriers be raised, pointing out that the standard height of a barrier in an European country was around 1.2 metres while in Malaysia, it was 0.8 metres.

Then there was @FaridShaharom stating that lorries are the cause of accidents due to the driver’s mentality and level of education.
“Not all of them, but this is the fact,” he said, adding that these were the people who played truant during their schooling years and had disciplinary problems.

The picture comments are also very suggestive:

Further on,@hasfaniAhmad suggested the usage of the ECRL for logistics purposes once it was completed.
Another concerned netizen said heavy loads designated for the interstate should be delivered via train.
“Lorries should be allowed for the local or within a new radius. But who is brave enough to implement it,” he said.
Finally, @alimzazaz suggested tightening the requirement of driving license, more active enforcement, additional runoff areas and having the barrier upgraded. 
“The solutions have always been there but we do not catch up with the increase in the number of lorries on the road,” he said. — Focus Malaysia
