FitnessHealthTravel Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 That looks like a normal day on the roads. The difference now is a lot of it is caught on camera to confirm what our own eyes have been seeing for years. NOW WE HAVE PROOF hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien365 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 If it was a three laner, the lorry shouldn't have been there. If it was two with a hard shoulder he should have pulled in as soon as he got past the slow moving truck. It does my head in on two lane sections of Phet Kasem when two lorries are idling along blocking the entire road. Regarding why did the mini van go straight back in to the right hand lane, I guess he was already hot headed by this point and in typical fashion here he wanted to make a point that he got held up. He may also have wanted to do a u turn, you never know. What surprises me though is how fast some of those lorries can go. I've driven on many occasions with a big lorry following at 120kph. Fastest I've seen was doing about 130 jostling with a pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ...........but in a different minibus .......possibly....I hope.

toofarnorth Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 After the scam with the broken leg and maybe one more via an English tabloid it is nice to get back to minibuses crashing , we need to lighten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the minivan slowed down. I think that is oil and trye rubber laid down by the van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeVonderBearz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Crazy. I hate having to get these busses, always makes me feel a little uneasy as I know there's a 99% chance the driver is going to be a fool, like the fella in the video. Do they race to their destination in order to squeeze as many daily return journeys as possible to maximise income? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pushed for time at the moment, so I will be brief He is saying that the actions of the van driver were not the most clever thing he has ever done, but then of course he does not know that for sure Happy motoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
