rooster59 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Man, 62, hurt after SUV plunges from car park By The Nation A 62-year-old man was injured when his SUV plunged to the street from a car park on the fourth floor of a Bangkok building on Saturday. Police said the accident happened at 10.30 m on Soi Phai Singto off Rama IV road. The grey Isuzu Mu-7 crashed through the wall of the car park in the Crown Property Bureau building and landed on its front. The driver was identified as Anukul Wannasuk. He suffered from a large swelling on his head but did not have serious wounds. He was fully conscious when he received the first aid and was sent to the Thep Tharin hospital. Police said the man might have applied the wrong gear, causing the SUV to move forward instead of reversing from the wall.

ChrisY1 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Not an uncommon event in Thailand. Poorly constructed barriers just don't stop cars falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to engage brain first then clutch so there is a bit of time to wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryasimight Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Errr....not so sure.I have a BT50 4wd manual and a Kia Ceratto Koupe auto. Coming to an intersection (on a 100k/hr highway) in the BT50 I trod on the clutch and surprise, surprise the car didn't slow down. No problem as instinct kicked in, but it really surprised me how working in the ' unconscious competence ' zone can catch any of us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchega Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 another demonstration of lack of common sense. I see it on the road all the time, lack of thought about the consequences. surely it must be obvious to drivers that the 4th floor jump is going to hurt, I guess driver figured suspension could handle it.

Sir Dude Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I mean though, c'mon, how on earth do you manage to accomplish that from a driving perspective barring having a stroke/heart attack etc. at the wheel? Just such morons driving around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
