Flip Flops


Here's one good way to ruin your Friday. Take your car, drive it up an uphill and really busy stretch and then see if you can flip it! LOL! Ok, ok, I shouldn't be laughing at other people's misfortunes but hey, I can't help it. No one was seriously injured though the driver did have some cuts and bruises on her. Maybe I should have loaned her my electric blanket.

But it did succeed in making me get stuck in a nice long traffic snarl, not something I was looking forward to on a Friday. This accident was less than a kilometre away from where I live and it took me quite a while to travel that short distance.

But what I cannot fathom is how this lady managed to flip her car on a stretch of road which is perpetually busy during peak hours so much so that you cannot exceed speeds of 50km/h even and on an uphill stretch at that! But she amazingly succeeded in doing it. Women drivers ... LOL!

Sorry for the fuzzy image, after all I was using my cheapo cell phone camera and was already flaunting the law by taking a pix while driving with the traffic cop giving me the eye as I passed by ... LOL! Hope I don't receive a summons in the mail one fine day.

Happy weekend people :D

Nick Phillips said...

Anny - What? And loose the opportunity for a blog post? LOL! Well, that traffic cop did give me the eye just as I drove past ... hehehe ...

That stretch always jam so it amazes me how she managed that feat!

Ratu Syura said...

OMG!! Luckily she didn't involve other cars with her stunt. Could she have been from the opposite side of the road? Evil Knievel would be so proud of her.

Mei Teng said...

That's one seriously expensive flip flop and a reminder to the rest of us to drive safe.

I wondered how it happened?? Like an action movie scene.

Not all women drivers are bad. Although men may be better drivers I suppose.

Blur Ting said...

That looks like an SUV which has a higher centre of gravity. Maybe she brushed against the kerb at quite high speed?

Nessa said...

aiyah, why didn't take the license plate? Sure kena one, i tell you! :D

Nick Phillips said...

Syura - Hey, it's been a while since I've seen you around these parts :D

I thot it was from the other side too but the skid marks were on this side of the road ...

She's probably related to Evil Knievel ... LOL!

Nick Phillips said...

Mei Teng - Was just kidding about the woman drivers part. Some men are really horrible drivers too. I'm glad she was okay.

Nick Phillips said...

BT - Actually it was a Perodua Kelisa la, one of our national cars. Yeah it's possible but that's an uphill stretch and the trafffic at that time is normally slow moving, so I'm still amazed by the accident.

Nick Phillips said...

Nessa - Aiyoo Nessa, the policeman already giving me the eye, you want me to stop and get the license number lagi? I think he will shoot me la ... hahaha!

maslight said...

OMG LOL. Oh man, how did er what did? @_@ OMG!

I'm lost for words XD

Perry R. Lim said...

I continue to be surprised by the amazing skills of women drivers.

Incredible!

Nick Phillips said...

Maslight - LOL! I was at a loss for words too.

Nick Phillips said...

Perry - Buddy, I cannot guarantee your safety from the women out there after that comment ... LOL!

foongpc said...

Wow! This is amazing! How did she do that? It's a miracle! : )

foongpc said...

Maybe she's a stuntwoman and her stunts went horribly wrong! LOL!

foongpc said...

But I would get really irritated trapped in a jam like that! I would take a pix too - who cares about the policeman? LOL!

Zen said...

Good post!!! And don't you dare say anything insulting about women drivers!! :)

Nick Phillips said...

Foong - Your guess is as good as mine :D

Nick Phillips said...

Foong - LOL! Could be, could be ...

Nick Phillips said...

Foong - Hahaha ... I was afraid he'd pull out his little blue book and take my number down ... LOL!

Nick Phillips said...

Zen - LOL! Ok, ok, my lips are sealed!

Rose said...

Hey! Women are creative drivers, Nick! See if you can do it yourself. :p You have a nice weekend too. Better stay indoor than get stuck on the road on Saturday and Sunday.

Nick Phillips said...

Rose - Hahaha, I'll bet they are :D I don't think I could achieve that even if I'm stoned la ... LOL!

emelda said...

hahahah that's two incident for last week around that area...

And yea, i wonder how did she manage to turn the car upside down.. boleh tahan this woman!

Nick Phillips said...

Emelda - You mean there was another one? When was that?

Memang boleh tahan ... hehehe!

Marlene said...

Oh, don't say that, cos soon I will get my driving licence, hahaa! Really, how did she do it? I'm confused.

Nick Phillips said...

Marlene - You will? Hope you don't try out stunts like that ... LOL!
