Jonmarleesco Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Twenty very lucky pupils, yet no doubt the government will continue to prevaricate. And I thought Prayuth was unconcerned about popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cereal Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if one of their kids was killed, they'd be right at the front of the queue for the big payout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.]Title: Land Traffic Act B.E. 2522ISBN: 9-7450-3994-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
