FritsSikkink Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 So glad that they can keep passengers in the back, only 19 people involved with 2 cars.
Stoker58 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 And there was me thinking riding in the back of pickups was illegal.

KIWIBATCH Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Looking at the impact damage to both vehicles...I would hazard an uninformed "guess" that the passengers riding on the back of the vehicles would have been launched from them...like ping pong balls...!!!
khwaibah Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 41 dead first day. Road accident statistics for yesterday have just been released. 41 people died and 500 injured in 477 accidents on the first day of the new year holiday. Main cause of accidents was drunk driving (Via Spring News) #Thailand pic.twitter.com/jGw6au

pokerface1 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 I would be interested to know if the 4 people killed were sitting inside the car or in the rear. From the way it looks in the pic the people in the rear may have been only injured. The authorities gave permission that it was okay to ride in the back over the new year holidays, after that the law would be reimposed again. They should have thrown a net over the people sitting in the rear then they wouldn't have gone flying.

Four dead, fifteen injured but could have been more, and one dog . . . all because of Thailand's couldn't give a shit approach to stray dogs. My son got it right when, during a recent visit to a couple of wats, he quipped, "I don't know about God . . . they should call this place 'the Kingdom of Dog!' I thought 'nice one, son; you got it in one.' How's this for a new forum thread? . . . Government should appoint dog wardens to keep ALL un-tethered dogs off roads and sois. Stun-dart them; load 'em on the truck and take the carcasses to a special incinerator for burning into agricultural phosphates. Stray dogs in Thailand are a real hazard, not only to motorists but to cyclists and scooterists around the villages.

wavemanwww Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Amazing Thailand. Land of Stupid regulators. How many articles have we read recently about reducing people in pick ups Then recently reading from a politician in charge of road rules " Oh its a happy season so we will relax those rules". Gee whiz hope one of those involved is a relative of this moron! Aside from the fact Cops must be so confused about what rule on road rules as it changes weekly! Sack the lot of Government regulators. They could not run a chook raffle among the lot of these regulators!

cardinalblue Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Kingdom of dogs not dog...english lessons required.... can the dog story be verified since it seems those killed were in the cab? When I see a dog, I anticipate breaking... you only swerve if going too fast and proper training tells you don't swerve if a dog jumps out last second....cost benefit analysis...lack of training... consider you have the responsibility of 19 people in your hands.... driver completely at fault not dog - a road hazard that you prepare for ahead of time...

If you are going to be snotty about English, better be ruthlessly correct with yer own spelling?! Personally I think language is for communicating, not for pedagogues, so no worries {braking, not breaking}
