webfact Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Video: When will Thai drivers learn their lesson? Picture: Siamstations A video doing the rounds of social media shows that the story of a Thai man killed on a motorcycle the other week has not really sunk in. The latest "unsecured load" showed a pile of steel rods sticking out perilously from the side of a pick-up going along a dual carriageway. It could easily mean the end for a motorcyclist and certainly serious damage for another person's vehicle if not worse. Yet the driver seems oblivious to the danger. The footage was posted by user Ussaree Watcharasakonphong on Facebook who said that the dash cam footage came from a trip along Route 36. The story was reported on siamstations.com. No further details were given. Two weeks ago a 65 year old man riding pillion on a bike in Pathum Thani was killed instantly when an improperly secured PVC pipe hit him in the head.

worgeordie Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 They will never learn,as they buy bigger trucks and cars,the situation in my view is only deteriorating, how many times have you seen a Thai look back ,after they have parked their vehicle,to see if they are properly parked,road rage is also on the rise,when they cut in front of you,sound the horn ,many of them go crazy,like it's your fault. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valentineinthailand Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The worse thing is that the driver seems to be aware of it as he moves to the right everytime he comes close to another vehicle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossy Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The Transport minister and Highway Police chiefs must know that the joke of a driving test is the root cause of the country's pathetic standard of driving. Until they get their act together and set-up and enforce the sort of D test that requires every driver to be aware of others on the road - and how to reverse! - I will continue to allow a mega-safe distance between me and other traffic . . . half-a-kilometre, usually.

Gandtee Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 What is amazing is that no one sounded their horn to warn the drive that his load was dangerous. But then sounding your horn is seen as offering a challenge here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helloagain Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 They never will cos of low inteligence.
