  especially to some rich young chaps in this forum(dun wanna mention names..) boasting and driving without a licence, go get ur licence 1st! dun be a hazard to others.

  he must be driving very fast.
  
  its fated like most choose to believe. she wasnt suppose to go but she did.
  
  

  Sorry bro, may I know is cardial arrest means heart attack??
  
  Just now at 5.40pm I try to go home by the way where the accident happens, I find myself easily doing 60-70km at this "peak hour". The traffic light actually creat enought space for you to speed. I am driving a BMW 318 still cant reach 60-70, think the new MX-5 can go beyond that easily. Me going towards AMK dircetion, should be the correct direction and traffic just now should be heavier than Sat 7.00pm same direction.
  
  I still cant believe 40-50km/h can flip MX-5 over the other lane as the crub really not low. Anyway, if the driver say not speeding then not speeding lor, he cant change anything. Hope he will be more careful if he ever return behind the wheel.
  
  god bless everyone.

  Heart attack is a general term. There are many forms of 'heart attack', myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, etc. In this case cardiac arrest probably means failure/disruption of heart function due to extreme shock or stress.

  "Evolution, STi, and Integra, and a few others?"
  
  You better check your video games again. The Evo, and STi are four/all-wheel-drive. The Integra is front engine front wheel drive.
  
  They can hang the MX-5 up as being a dangerous car simply because it happened to be FR when at the end of the day, the simple truth is that a car is as dangerous as the component that is between the steering wheel and the seat.

  It is the same principle as "guns do not kill, but their users do".

  Ah. My bad my bad. I think I meant the Evo and Sti cars have power transferred to their rear wheels. Sorry for the bad. But I really thought Integra Type-R is a FR.
  
  I assumed performance cars = RWD.

  Evo, Sti - AWD
  
  Integra - FR
