According to the man who shared the dashcam video, the slippery road was due to rain before the Axia spinning incident occurred.
As we all know, safety is a top priority for all drivers on the road.
Axia Spins on a Slippery Bend
Recently, a video went viral on TikTok (@fadzil1048), capturing a dangerous situation on the road believed to be descending from Genting Highlands.
Through a dashcam video shared by a man known as Mohd Fadzil, everything seemed normal at first glance, but suddenly, a Perodua Axia was seen speeding in the right lane before spinning almost 360 degrees before stopping.
The incident is believed to be caused by the slippery road conditions at that time. According to Fadzil in the caption, the Axia driver was speeding after the rain.
Axia Narrowly Misses Other Cars
Fortunately, the Axia didn’t collide with any other cars during the incident. It remained in the correct lane even after spinning.
However, at this point, we couldn’t confirm the condition of the driver after the incident.
Netizens React to Axia Spinning Situation
Reading the comments, some netizens believed the drifting action wasn’t only due to the slippery road but could also be caused by imperfect tires.
“Sometimes, with bald tires, the Axia batch doesn’t have safety drives yet, right?” a man remarked.
Some individuals also advised the public to always be cautious when driving downhill from Genting Highlands.
“A senior driver who goes up and down Genting every day says, don’t drive fast when it’s raining or foggy. Even if the rain has stopped, water from the top still flows down. The tires stop but our vehicles might not stop properly,” explained a netizen.
Meanwhile, many netizens joked that the Axia wanted to overtake the Perodua Myvi, nicknamed the ‘King’.
From the video clip, a Myvi was seen beside it during the incident.
“He (the Axia driver) just wanted to show the King (Myvi driver) that he could do it too,” an individual said.
Don’t Slam the Brakes on a Slippery Road
For those who have encountered similar situations, they might think that slamming the brakes is the right solution. However, using brakes is not suitable for every situation.
You should know that slamming the brakes on a slippery road is a dangerous move as it can increase the risk of accidents.
This is because sudden braking can cause the vehicle to slip due to tire grip that might take a long time.
What you can do is release the accelerator pedal and steer the car carefully.
Hopefully, this sharing is beneficial to everyone. Remember, your life safety is important and invaluable.
