Dashcam footage captures yet more crazy driving in Thailand

 

 

Dash cam footage posted to Facebook showed the latest crazy driving on Thai roads.

 

The footage on the Community Bowin page showed a van undertaking a long trailer. The van then cuts across in front of another truck in the right hand lane.

 

It appears that the van driver loses control and is struck by the truck. It overturns and ends up in the central reservation on its side. 

 

The accident happened in the Amata City area on Monday evening according to the post.

 

There were no details regarding the fate of the driver and anyone else possibly in the vehicle.

 

The truck drove on but it is not known whether it stopped thereafter.

Just another day in Thailand. lol

for half a second;

it was on 2 wheels,

therefore temporarily a motorcycle...

 

 

...therefore truck's fault  

[pieeyed]

Pretty normal van driving here.

[Just1Voice]

Passing in the motorbike lane on the left, then trying to cut in front of a semi.  Nothing unusual here.

Morons!

It's pretty obvious the van and the truck are battling it out with each other. 
Instead of continuing until the right lane is free, the van tries to push the truck off the road only to come off second best. Notice the truck driver doesn't apply his brakes until the very last moment when the van is spinning out of control infront of him.

At least the brain-dead moronic prat used his indicator!

we could be here forever detailing driving here; it is just who they are

[KittenKong]

But just look at the condition of the road surface from 15 seconds in till the end. No wonder the minivan slowed down.

more brain-amputated drivers at work

just adding on more fault to his driving - engaged too fast on a lane of which he didn't the conditions without securing enough distance to the following vehicle to stop.

it's just reckless and brainless driving, period.

There is a channel on youtube ("Summapi TV") that does a monthly compilation

[seajae]

typical thai driver, indicate and think it means they have automatic right of way and can pull out in front of another car or simply cut them off, looks like they learned their lesson the hard way that they have to wait till the road is clear/safe for them to do so

It really looks like the van sets in front of the truck and breaks.

What a psycho.

Fortunately (from the FB page) it seems that no passengers were aboard. Otherwise they would show the injured and dead as usual.

 

I could be wrong, but probably this is the hool that survived unharmed?

Technically (& where I come from), its not the motorbike lane but rather the shoulder (used for emergency stopping et cetera). But then here in Thailand I guess its considered another driving lane. LOL.

Sometimes it's explicitly marked with signs to be a motorcycle lane.

(I see this on the highway 12)

[KhunBENQ]

Well, just did some virtual drive on this concrete road in the Amata area and it could well be a full three lanes?

Badly or not marked at all at the left.

From the classic movie Red Heat:

 

"You know this game? It's called chicken, except you're not supposed to play it with buses."

 

...or semis.

[oldgent]

what a fool did he not realize that the truck was bigger than him, someday

maybe someone will look inside a thai mans brain and try to establish what

is exactly in there

[burgdawg]

...who is at fault?

Answer: the nearest falang!

 

Case closed-----jail falang until he p[ays up!

[burgdawg]

...is this vid an accident video?

Not at all! It is an INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO shown at the LAND TRANSORT OFFICE!

Nothing to see here!

 

Yes, in many places, it is called "DRIVERs ED."

 

5555555..'the only question is thus....who are the drivers connected to and how much baht is he willing to fork out to whomever? Minivans have a reputation in the Kingdom of being inolved in a HIGH RATE of biffs, get-offs, oopsies........accidents! 

 

I used to stop and assist anyone in an accident---a frequent occurence in LOS. No mas. Now I witness an accident unfolding...I GTFO!

[Gracas]

From the photo and info supplied above it would appear that there were no passengers onboard (luckily) and it looks as thought the driver got out uninjured (maybe).

Strangely, it was a little satisfying in a way to see the van driver beat at his own game. However he will be back doing the same thing tomorrow as though nothing had happened.

[flyingfox1]

Can’t understand why the van after undertaking the truck went straight in the outer lane right in front of the fast moving truck .. pure stupidity!!

The fast moving truck didn’t actually do anything wrong at all other than perhaps not yeald to the idiot who’s obviously out for a some rock n roll [emoji23]

Does look like it could be a road rage incident, van passing on oncoming shoulder, the fact that the truck in the collision was being passed by another truck indicates it was going pretty slow. It would be interesting to see how many vehicles were in the backup, not that it makes the van driver any less at fault. Any word on how many passengers or the extent of injuries? Feel bad for them if there were any.

Exactly. Also worth noting that the middle lane has no cars in for what looks like maybe a few hundred meters.

 

If the van driver wanted to pass / continue driving faster that the truck, there was nothing in the middle lane obstructing him as you see during and after the automotive gymnastics. A true moron.

Earlier posts suggest no passengers in van, plus van driver seems to have got off more or less scot free as far as injuries are concerned

A result which makes this good entertainment

I remember seeing a full size bus doing the same manouver a few years back. Crazy. I eased back and let them sort it out. Luckily no accident.
