The Klang Satellite City Residents Association recently received complaints that when people went to the satellite city according to the instructions on their mobile phone navigation, they were told to “go straight” when they passed the corner of Jalan Keramat 3. As a result, they were suspected of being overly trusting. Navigation, the driver went straight and hit a grassy slope and a ditch, and an accident occurred.

It is understood that the area is a turning section along the road and there are traffic lights. However, the driver believed that he relied too much on the navigation system and drove directly into the grassy slope and hit a ditch.

The residents’ association also complained to Yan Yumei, special assistant to Klang New Town assemblyman Ko Peng Fei, and discussed how to solve the problem so that road users would no longer step on thunder.

Yan Yumei pointed out that the housing association received three related complaints in just eight days. That is, on December 12, 16 and 19 last year, vehicles hit the slope and fell into the ditch, and all occurred at night.

She said that after receiving the complaint, she went to the scene to check and understand the situation. Unexpectedly, she discovered that the road was in an industrial area, following a curve on the road, with grassy slopes and ditches beside the road.

“In addition to reporting the problem of incorrect routes to the navigation system company, I also request the Klang City Council to adopt a ‘temporary’ solution, that is, to set up barriers next to the grass slopes as a warning to prevent drivers from driving their cars onto the grass. place.”

Yan Yumei called on drivers to slow down when turning and remain sensitive to the surrounding environment. If they find that the road conditions are inappropriate, they need to stay calm and take cautious measures to avoid driving recklessly and causing accidents.
