Netizens warn of slippery roads on rainy reason
A netizen said that due to the rainy season, roads were often wet. They added that the white strips that denote lanes could be more slippery when wet, suggesting it caused the skidding.

One commenter criticised motorcyclists who performed lane-splitting when other cars slowed down, saying it gave the riders too little time to react to such accidents.
Others wished the motorcyclist a speedy recovery from his injuries.
