M’SIA BUS HITS S’PORE CAR @ MARYMOUNT, BUS DRIVER SAYS CAR FAULT AS HIS BUS “TOO BIG”

Helping my friend post, in case anyone here has video evidence to help.

A WTS Travel bus (JRL 8585) hit his car along Marymount Road towards Bishan Street 21 on 16 Jan 2022, at around 7.20pm.

He was travelling in his lane, saw a white vehicle coming dangerously close to him, slowed and honked at the coach.

Almost immediately he felt impact on the left side of his car.

After the collision, they stopped to exchange details but the coach driver insisted that my friend should have stopped his car as his coach was “too big” for one lane.

I have no idea what the driver of this foreign registered vehicle is saying and would like to appeal for any video evidence on my friend’s behalf. My friend has already made a police report. Thank you in advance.

• WTS bus? Then can email or call WTS main office line say your friend car got hit by their bus, their bus all have cam-recorders in the front and back.
• Any accident involving foreign vehicles, regardless car, commercial coach/bus, bike, not saying impossible but very difficult to claim. Reason behind is the foreign insurance company didnt want to pay, so your insurance company also suck tumb to pass the insurance cost back to u by increasing your next insurance premium n NCB back to 0%. Good luck!
• this road is slightly narrower than usual due to the MRT construction. any smart driver will know to let big vehicles to go first.
• Meaning you see the bus let it go first, don’t try to squeeze into the space, you tio bua is your problem.
• Accident with foreign vehicles, if got INJURY please make police report. TP n ambulance will come…u go hospital, TP will detain foreign vehicle. With TP report against the foreign vehicle, ur insurance co cannot push claim to u.
