commercial diesels use exhaust brakes

these are the ones to avoid!

Every time there's a crash like this, the same old tired, ignorant comments appear—blaming the driver, mocking Thai people, and pretending to be experts on road safety. There’s no proper investigation, no real crash report—just assumptions and casual racism. Drivers here work brutal hours in unsafe vehicles on dangerous roads, with zero systemic support. This isn’t about one man’s mistake. It’s a failure of infrastructure, enforcement, and standards. If you can't offer empathy or informed insight, say nothing.

I said no.

so there have been dozens of accidents within a few metres of each other on this road - your theory is that people suddenly become stupid on this stretch? - maybe there something in the air? how often have you driven this stretch?

that kind of sums you up, doesn't it?

Sorry you're too un-informed to discuss this with.

and all the usual tripe blaming the driver and pretending they know how to drive ....

Blame might feel satisfying, but it doesn't fix anything. Crashes happen because systems fail—roads, policies, vehicles—not just individuals. Focus on blame, and you miss the chance to prevent the next one.

Sounds good to me!

So you are going to take the racist stance too? Most racist can't tell racism from a fact either - "That’s a fact, not a racial slur."

there you go! Why is it a that racists always argue that thinks they say aren't racist?

You are obsessed with the concept of "blame' - with road safety, this was discredited over 50 years ago - you simply don't understand the first thing about road safety, which is why you keep posting nonsense. You need to realise that Modern road safety has moved beyond blaming individuals. Human error is inevitable, so the focus is now on designing systems that prevent serious outcomes. The Safe System approach prioritises safer roads, vehicles, and speeds— recognising that responsibility is shared. Blame doesn’t solve systemic issues or prevent future crashes. It distracts from real, structural improvements.

sorry chap, rather than spouting uniformed comments, you should get yourself up to speed on road safety and the 5 Es.

In simple terms if a speeding car comes round a bend too wide - if the other driver (not at fault) can avoid it due to quick reactions the crash may be avoided, if the other person is slower , old or even drunk, they may not be able to avoid a crash. Regardless of blame if a crash happens, then how serious it is, is then down to the road safety precautions taken by that country - e.g the 5 Es - engineering, enforcement, education, EMERGENCY and evaluation. I'd say that most people posting on this and other threads are not capable of evaluation but don't realise that so they just write nonsense. Calling people "stupid' with regards to road safety is ..well...just stupid. It's subjective and racist.
