A Perodua vehicle ending up in a monsoon drain is not really uncommon occurrence these days, particularly during heavy rain and flooding. Several incidents have been reported where Perodua cars, especially the Myvi model, have skidded or been swept away into monsoon drains. However, this time we see its younger sibling, the Kancil in the monsoon drain.
These incidents often involve drivers losing control of their vehicles due to slippery road conditions or strong currents.
Here’s a breakdown of why this happens and some notable examples:
Reasons for Perodua vehicles ending up in monsoon drains: Skidding on wet roads:
Heavy rain can make roads extremely slippery, causing vehicles to lose traction and skid, especially when drivers brake or turn suddenly.
Monsoon drain overflow: During heavy rainfall, monsoon drains can overflow, creating strong currents that can sweep away vehicles, particularly those that are smaller or lighter.
Driver error: In some cases, driver error, such as reckless driving or misjudging the road conditions, can also lead to vehicles plunging into drains.
