But we don't know where the traffic island was headed and if its driver fled the scene.

 

Som nam na....glad he didn't hurt anyone other than himself !

Good....that he got injured.

Now punish him!

No come on Thai drivers dont run red lights  Ask the police they will tell you they dont Dont worry there are thousands just like him I see them every morning Do they get booked ? Well we let that one rest You be the judge

Sue the island, it is impertinent to be there when I run a red light.

"Haste makes waste" seems an appropriate old saying for this one.

The traffic light sequencing here is a joke. It goes to red so quickly from the amber, I've reprimanded myself quite a few times for "just" going through on the amber, even at the speed limit, very hard to judge. They need to look at the UK sequencing and adjust  them here. Not withstanding, the truck driver was a plonker.
