Relatively speaking, those with SmartTag aka rich gets away from justice aka roadblock.

I drive a wira and I am hardly what you call 'rich'... but I got a smart-tag. Don't generalise like this la.

Exactly, I drive a 21 years old car, but got the tag when they offered at RM50.....

Another one will be the Sprint highway if im not wrong with the highway names...during Weekdays
after work especially, even before the toll adi jam. The toll that leads to Federal Highway to Mid Valley.
Coming from Mont Kiara...is call Sprint Highway i think

Friday is real nightmare...always skip that road...

That one RM1.50 toll, bugger, jam like mad. should just remove it as well...but that road the turnings
kinda dangerous, got to be careful with those roads..heard some ppl skidded before even at 60km/h.

the short road from mont kiara exit towards midvalley/old klang road/kl city etc is called kerinchi link (rm1.50 toll) if im not mistaken. i use that all the time to get to northern areas such as curve,mkiara, ttdi etc from cheras.

you are right tho, ALWAYS avoid that road during rush hour - once stuck, ur screwed.

Whoa! guys! Izso, vr2turbo. I didnt mean it like that at all. I am sorry it turned out that way.

I am not saying those with SmartTag are rich and gets away from being 'blocked'. I was just figuratively speaking.

Once again I am sorry if I have ruffled any feathers.

Yup, you are right, that route is the Kerinchi link, Sprint is the one across from KL to Damansara toll passing Eastin Hotel

No harm done brother, I meant to say the tag nowadays not only for the rich. Those days back then yes, cost RM210 where not many willing buy....I invest in the tag also more for time savings. Those days where I don't use the toll much, I did not buy also....

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Haha...my bad, bad with highway road names...just only know how to use them and how much the toll costs.

I heard the opposite lane, seems to have lots of accidence before. Long time ago at the corner there...60km/h also can skid?
A few cars all skidded not just one but one after another according to my colleague when she skidded...

I suspect someone pour oil on the ground but she didn't mention anything on the ground but just pray hard each time
a car passes by...

Opposite side coming in from Federal Highway, I saw before, a CRV skid and whack the wall.
Heard there are many cases already, especially when it rains. Seems that area lot of Buses spill diesel when tank is full and in that corner, and when mixed with water becomes very slippery....

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Touchwood, so far I go there last time even before knowing got such accidents, have been taking that corner pretty fast

Just lucky nothing like that happen, will slow down for now..

In that case, better let you know another.
From USJ going to KLIA, as you leave the main highway to enter KLIA highway when the toll is. As you exit left then have to turn right, that curve also very slippery and especially when wet. Same thing as Kerinchi one, seems buses spills diesel at that corner. If you look at the Armco railings, always have new ones replacing the old damaged ones......:hmmmm:

So, if places with dented railings or skidded tyre marks, best to slow down I guess.
Everything happen for a reason I suppose.

But is weird, how come buses keep spilling diesel? Fuel Cap not tight enough? :stoned:

Wow seriously?! I always whack the first and second corners as u enter Kerinchi Link from Federal LOL! But i know the corner opposite side heading towards KL/MV etc seems to be accident prone judging from d amount of 'scratches' on the wall-divider thingy ( i like the last 2 corners on this side too LOL).

Actually all the curves nice to whack. The one to PJ also good, but very narrow....
Nice to whack but also have to be careful. You whack in the dry?

vr2turbo - yup i only dare whack in dry. my balls not big enough after this happened:

Regarding the corners that are "rigged" let me share this one too since i was a victim lol:

As u all alrdy know that i use Kerinchi Link quite often, one saturday night i was on the way to TTDI, it wasnt raining heavily already since it subsided but the roads were still quite wet. On the Sprint Highway towards Hartamas/MontKiara (i always use Kerinchi and Penchala Link to get to d north areas), right after the exit to KLGCC that also has the Bkt Kiara club house on the left, there is this corner...its not a tight one...4 lanes wide....i was on the fast lane abt 90kmh n suddenly my car skidded across all 4 lanes into the guardrail. Dont worry, car wasnt badly damaged n neither was i.

What i suspect happen was a combination of oil+water+my left tie rod broke while the car was taking d corner coz i couldnt steer at all and just resort to pump brakes n saying my prayers haha.

If im not mistaken that corner is also the start of the 200m death stretch (opposite lane too) towards hartamas/mkiara.

Moral of the story: doesnt matter what tires u use, do not speed in the rain.

 

[vr2turbo]

That one sure cannot control, if the tie rod breaks......

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

I skidded before cornering when it was drizzling...the one coming from KL using Jalan Kuching, after passing by
the roundabout above us, there is an exit towards those Government Quarters, That corner quite nice to whack one....

About 70-80 Degrees corner...quite wide la...but it was drizzling la that time.

I usually whack when dry, but usually tyres screeching for sure. So, wanted to test and see how much that stupid
tyres can handle, Whack that corner at around 60 to 70km/h. Skidded, totally cant control at all...my rear skidded
when I hit the brakes

I was saved by the curb when my car finally stopped when 1 of the tyres go over the curb. If not, would skid out of the
road and all I can do is pray that no oncoming cars from behind :afraid:

Ever since then, now I'm trying to overcome the trauma...cuz there is once at Karak, I was driving at 140km/h. It was a
3 lane road. I was at the far right, when reach the corner, i lost my confidence. Stepped on the brake till it became around
100km/h.

Hesitated half way. Just only change new tyres also no confidence...haih...

 

[gothculture]

it was d longest 2 secs of my life trying to control/slow the car down + praying. it felt as if time slowed down coz i rmb vry clearly talking to myself "pump brakes pump brakes dont panic". after that i phobia everytime it rains while im driving...till now.

Ya, dry roads dare not really push all out anymore...is like they say. Once bitten, twice shy. :frown:

Ya, even though is a long stretch at Karak but then is not to say is not dangerous with so many
end up dead on that stretch. I never thought of playing until, I saw a R34 and his buddy in Euro R
playing around together and didnt drive that fast around 140km/h. Then an Iswara came on
and went chasing after them I would say that fellow got bigger balls than I do...

From far I roughly guess they are doing close to 180km/h.
