    This poor girl did not stand a chance of avoiding that wheel as some super humans have claimed on here. The simple facts are that the CCTV is viewed from high above the incident which is not the line of sight that this poor girl had and in the video it took the wheel 3 seconds from leaving the trailer to contacting that poor girl. One second of that the wheel would not have been in the girls sight as there is shrubbery growing on the centre strip. The girl would not see the wheel until it became airborne after hitting the curbing. That gave the girl 2 seconds to see the wheel and react, it is a medical fact that the average reaction time for a human is .55 of a second which now left the girl with 1.05 seconds to get over the shock reaction and to take any avoiding action. Anyone who claims that they can get over the shock reaction and then think about what avoiding reaction to take lives in their own little dreamworld and do not live in the real world. This like ALL accidents was caused by negligence by someone. It was negligence by the driver for not checking his wheel nuts because there are 8 or 10 wheel nuts on each wheel depending on the type of hub used, and there is no way that all the wheel nuts would come undone at the same time, if 1 or 2 nuts came loose then the wheel could possibly work on the other studs until they broke but that would not happen in 1 day, so the driver has not checked his wheel nuts. My experience is 45 years driving heavy vehicles plus included in that 45 years is 17 years as a volunteer in The Central Coast Volunteer Rescue Squad removing dead and injured from road accidents and including in that 17 years working with the New South Wales Police Accident Investigation Squad in Australia investigating the causes of accidents and every accident always comes down to someone being negligent in some way

    ..my sentiments exactly.

    What has happened regarding the Honorary Australian Consulate in Chiang Mai?

    ..i recently renewed my passport..HonConCNX cannot process these 'as yet' i was told.

    You will need to allow 21 days..as it was i was cutting it too fine, so i went down/back to AustEmbassy and did all in one day and received my new passport 14 days after my visit. in that period your old passport is cancelled. The fee was 6980THB for an Adult Ordinary Passport with and extra 2590THB for Overseas Processing, a total of 9570THB, this included posting from BKK to your address via ThaiPost EMS. Other documents required were - the downloaded application form (71G) + photo copy from the web-site passports.gov.au  + two new passport size photos, an extra photo is requested to stick on the inner envelope that comes back from Australia (you get this back when forwarded to your address as embassy place that sealed envelope in another that you are asked to pre-address at the embassy).

    Khun Lek is the Senior Consular Passport Officer at the Australian Embassy Bkk, Ph 02 3446310, email: [email protected]  and is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. 

    *You may already know this - keep in mind that Thai Immigration will only give you visa or an extension for the remaining time left on your Passport. Any further info. please PM me. I hope this information is of assistance.

    we always assume that america is the good guy and north korea is the bad guy but america must be doing something or perceived as doing something to provoke north korea otherwise why would they behave in this way. the soviet union just collapsed one day without a shot being fired. maybe north korea will do the same. let us hope so.

     

    ..i reckon NK will implode..a lot of unstable ground there now it seems.
