God didn't do shit. Why did he send a dog on the road in the first place eh?

to remind him he was driving too fast and a danger to everyone else on the road!
what if a truck came in front at that speed?

speeds of 200kmph is okay so long as its a pc game. in real life you get only one chance.

broken cars can be fixed, not minds and bodies.

be careful in future and drive carefully.

So he ain't got a better way to teach people life lessons? I thought he was all powerful. Seems like he has the brain of a regular "threat-to-teach-kids" human being.

And what about the people who die in car accidents? What did they ever do? Sinned in their past lives? Is god so petty that he can't forgive people? How's he all powerful then? Doesn't that make him a bitter prick?
 
Thank god at lest you walk out safe

NICE road it super nice can and have touch 200kmph on it......has long has ABS, EBS there why worry.
 
oye hello ABS EBS never saves a person

ever seen a mercedes crash

its ur driving skills and speed control which saves!!!
 
Consider this as a second life and hopefully you will see life and people around you in a different light, and as some1 said dont try to save those dogs, I have had 2 accidents while trying to save these stray dogs.

Keane I so agree to your line of thought, and maybe thats why I am an atheist.
 
Impatient on road, patient in the hospital. . :P

J/k. .

Glad that you're safe. . Be careful. . :)
 
Omg!! i'm happy that u nd ur frens r safe! :)

btw thats why killing of stray dogs should be allowed! friggin creatures roaming around the roads causing RTAs!! :(
 
Your car fishtailed in simple words. This happens when the rear loses traction and comes around. Experience teaches us that a dab of opposite lock can control a fishtailing car. When a car fishtails, *do not brake*. It'll only make the car slide more violently. Infact what can get one out of a slide is more power and careful steering control. One can also transfer some of the weight back to the rear by downshifting while braking. Downshifting reduces braking distances by a very large amount if done correctly as engine braking comes into play.

Moral of the story 1: Do not bother about dogs if you are at too high a speed

Moral of the story 2: Get good tyres if you wish to drive fast that grip. The puny tyres and wheels on the stock lancer are not enough. Upgrade to atleast 14" and good quality michelins. Good tyres reduce the braking distance dramatically. Since grip is higher, the chance of the back coming round is lower.

Moral of the story 3: Get your brakepads checked to make sure they work in such situations.

20k is not all that bad. Glad you and your friends are safe. A lancer is a reasonably safe car and behaves quite nicely at high speeds. However any car can fishtail if one does mad braking.

About know all people claiming 140 is too high a speed, NICE road is an absolutely empty dual carriageway with visibility of atleast a kilometer. 140 is not that high a speed on it.

ABS EBS does save people only thing important is one should no how to n when to use. why the way what is this speed control?

In US, they have deer signboards on highways which are prone to animal crossings, so you drive slow. And this too :

They should have something like that in Indian roads >_> But until they do that, please drive slow on the highways! Really glad you're safe dude..that could have been really bad..

Yeah, like they know in advance where the dogs are gonna come out for a highway stroll/cross !?

They might as well put up a sign every 100mtrs...

Be it a cow or a dog, you never can tell when they'll come your way !

And you'll definitely try to avoid the same by instinct...

And in the worst case scenario,you really need to weigh your options...

the poor Dog or the safety of all the ppl in your car...

Good to hear you guys are alright...
 
Glad to hear you are safe mate

I disagree Chaos

Even (most) access controlled highways in the US have a speed limit of 65 mps (~105kmph) and yet you see at least one major accident on every long distance drive usually because of jerks who overspeed

And now, even though many of our roads have got great tarmac, tempting one to speed up, (esp in the day with great visibility and a visibly long empty stretch) you never know when some moron may decide to play truant (incl dogs)

100 is my personally set limit on a good visibility day, while 80 in the night

I have had more than my fair share of close shaves back from my reckless days many of them resulting from the absolutely unpredictable nature of your fellow roadmates (other drivers/bikers/pedestrians/dogs/cows/any object that moves) which is why I strongly dissuade others from crossing 100

The only thing that ABS+EBD allow one to do is avoid locking up wheels at high speeds so that one can steer around obstacles - exactly a scenario like this. The moment wheels lock up, you can't steer the car and you are a sitting duck. ABS was designed to explicitly avoid this kind of a scenario. Contrary to popular opinion, ABS may not decrease braking distances in many cases - in fact it can actually increase braking distances. However If you have steering control, you can go around things in your path.
 
Even if its an empty highway, its better to drive in controllable limits. At such high speeds, you couldn't brake in time for any damn reason and I can think of countless ways a person can have an accident at that speed even without a single living thing in sight.

Sometime back, an acquaintance of one of my friends was driving at high speeds on an empty highway, there was a truck with metal rods parked on the road at one point and the rods were protruding out of the truck and he didn't notice it in time and though he did not hit the truck itself, he couldn't brake and come to a halt before several of the rods went through his body. I heard most of them went thought his chest and face. He died on the spot.

An empty highway is not an invitation to floor your accelerator.

take my advice never ever try to save a dog on road

u ll always hurt urself!!

Even if its a man on the road, you will still get hurt if your try to save him while driving that such speeds. So lets just drive at 150Kmph and just run over any person or animal that comes in the way. :no:
 
Remember, if dog and cat comes in ur way, dont change ur way instead smash and crush them under ur car.. .

If cow or deer or some big animal comes, stop the car.

this shows that LANCER have got poor controls and no good ABS :P

Good to know ur safe.. never speed more than 100KMPH on highways until required!!!

Depends on the state - most are 70. Some are 80. Few parts are 90. Almost all of Europe other than Britain is 80. Britain is 50-70 depending on the highway. The most sensible speed to drive at depends on the car itself and also its state of tyres, brakes and general mechanical wear. Driving a Maruti 800 at 100kph is risky :P. while driving a BMW M3 at 150kph is definitely not risky.
 
Baka Baka Baka!! Don't drive at 140.

None of the Indian roads are designed for more than 120kmph. Speed limits are supposed to be at 80% of the theoretical max of the road. So be careful of the speed limits.

NICE road has 50kph speed limit markers. Do you mean to say its design speed is 60kph? :bleh:
