20 students in a pickup. Hmmmmmmm.......not quite overcrowded but certainly tending towards it. As well, one would think (hope) the ambulance driver would have been more spatially aware.

 

Yeah man, I know, wishful thinking.

20 ...overeloaded then but then they are children, so who really cares eh .......certainly NOT the Government

 

.....and certainly not the parents; out of sight, out of mind!  But if one of their kids was killed, they'd be right at the front of the queue for the big payout.

So the pickup failed to give way to it's right? Or is that not a road rule in the Kingdom? 

 

Hope the kids have a speedy and successful recovery.

No Give way to the right is not the rule here.  Check the road code.,  The law is give way to the LEFT,,,,,

many foreigners have troublew with that but read it in

 

Section 71 (500B)
[If, when entering a junction, there are other vehicles, the driver must let such vehicles go through first.

If two vehicles enter a junction from different directions at the same time, the vehicle on the left side has a right of way, except when there's a designation of principle roadway in which case the vehicle on the principle roadway has a right of way.]
