I was doing 60 kmph along Jalan Pantai in Port Dickson on Friday, 10 October 2008. It was a 2-lane 2-way road for most of the way but this incident happened in a stretch where my travelling direction has double lanes to allow overtaking. Around 500 meters from a herd of cows on the side of the road, there was one that I spotted: it was attempting to cross the road. Here goes the joke: why does the cow cross the road? To cause a traffice accident!

I stopped in anticipation of the beast to attempt crossing, and I was on the faster lane on the two. Three cars tailgating me from behind attempt to overtake me from the left side, thinking I was an idiotic imbecile trying to make a right turn without putting on any indicator light and stopped in the middle of the road. Little did they know that the first of the three cars screetched to a halt as the cow appeared from the blind spot covered by my vehicle, and the rest is history: a screech following by two loud crispy sharp crumpling bang!

A spectacular pile-up indeed, teaching them a lesson not to overtake from the left and not to tailgate!
