The roads behind most Rawang claims

Rawang is a northern Selangor town on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and Rawang Bypass corridor, with fast expressway traffic setting the pace. The Guthrie Corridor and LATAR also carry significant volume, much of it heading further north or west. Crash risk on these roads rises further during festive balik-kampung periods and the northeast monsoon between November and March.

A typical Rawang scenario

A common pattern is a vehicle changing lanes on PLUS near the Rawang interchange without checking a following vehicle travelling at expressway speed. Because closing speeds are higher here than on ordinary roads, the resulting collisions are often more serious and leave more physical evidence at the scene.

For a two-wheeler rather than a car, motorcycle accident claims in Rawang has the added detail. Rawang borders Sungai Buloh, and the roads there often feature in the same claims.
