Video captures moment Ferrari hits taxi in Singapore, killing three people
Cronus71-> I've been here long enough and can in fairness say the Singaporeans are awful drivers. They indicate when they are not turning, and when they are turning they don't indicate. One car occupies several lanes as well. I was asked about the driving here once, and I described how it looks like when people drive here. Imagine yourself having a shit, you are holding the newspaper in front of you with both hands and then you try to peek over the newspaper behind it. Makes me super nervous. I've only driven in Malaysia as it feels safer there.
About these Ferrari's, Lamborghini's etc. they race here during the weekend on the East Coast Parkway from the Airport towards Sentosa island. This is totally illegal of course, but for the year I've been here in the apartment from where I can see them, nobody has put a stop to it.

THIS horrifying footage serves as a reminder of the deadly potential of one of the world's fastest sports cars.
Three people died when a Ferrari 599 GTO ploughed into the side of a taxi while speeding across a city centre junction in Singapore.
The Ferrari driver was killed instantly, while the cab driver and his passenger died a short time later.
A passenger in the rare red supercar survived and was taken to hospital, as did a motorcyclist who was also involved.
Police gave no official estimate as to how fast the Ferrari was moving, but the extremely high speed of the collision is plain to see from the video.
Officers are investigating the crash but, as Motor Authority reports, witnesses claim 31-year-old businessman Ma Chi ran a red light before slamming into the blue taxi.
The smash was captured by the dash camera of another car at the point where Rochor Road meets Victoria Street, said to be an accident blackspot in the centre of the southeast Asian city-state.
A 20-year-old female passenger died in the taxi, with the Straits Times naming her driver as 52-year-old father of three Cheng Teck Hock.
He suffered major brain injuries and died in intensive care at the Tan Tock Seng Hospital earlier this month.
