Accident Zone

I live by the side of the Pan Island Expressway, at one of its busiest sections. This part of the expressway is relatively busy and noisy, no thanks to the fact that Singapore’s three most congested roads outside the CBD area, namely Aljunied Road, Paya Lebar Road and Geylang Road, are just in the vicinity. This area has got a negative reputation as well, for being an accident-prone zone and seems like accidents or near-accidents are bound to take place almost on a daily basis. In fact, just yesterday morning, 4 vehicles collided into one another again.

What makes this stretch of expressway an accident zone is still a puzzle to me; the road here is quite straight, with no inconspicuous slip roads anywhere near here, which might cause drivers to brake suddenly or do abrupt lane changing. Perhaps just like what some people had told me, this stretch has been cursed by the paranormal beings, hence the high accident rate. Nevertheless, if you readers out there happened to read this and have any need to pass by this area, do take extra caution!
