She has a licence and just drove home from Lotus but she is a very nervous driver. If this had happened to her she would never want to drive or ride her scooter again. By the by. We had lunch looking out over a road earlier and nearly everone walking past were looking at their little screens , I think like someone posted above it has become an addiction , how many out there drive looking at their phone things , I see many on scooters doing it every day ? I afraid dear fellow your wife should NOT be driving. A very nervous driver is an incompetent one and having been driving and riding here for 10+ years, i've seen some incredibly dangerous moves from very nervous drivers not to mention the fact that many idiotic passing moves are because of some very nervous incompetent driver...Im sorry but shes part of the problem here.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 This has happened to me while on my motorbike. Car or pickup has headed straight towards me and passed with only inches to spare, terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIWIBATCH Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 ...."Nong Ya Sai police said that the accident happened on the U-Thong - Dan Chang Road in their jurisdiction on Tuesday at 1.30pm. They warned the public about driving fast especially on two lane roads such as this....." So according to numpty police it was driving too fast that caused the accident...oooh right I got it...I must remember that advice next time someone is coming at me head on and I have nowhere to go except into a line of trees.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soistalker Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 You have an extremely high rate of teenage pregnancy in Thailand by unintelligent kids. Then you have the older Thais killing each other off on Road Warrior type crashes like this one. The dumbing down of Thai people's average IQ keeps going down towards 70. The only thing that is keeping Thailand's average IQ over 70 are all of the old English and Australian chaps who are having babies with the most worn out old slappers Thailand has to offer. So, good on them for doing their part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give this video along with the pictures of the vehicles after the collision to any police officer in the USA. There won't be an "investigation" as there is nothing "unclear" or "confusing" about the collision. The recorded footage eliminated all need for investigation. Except to investigate who the driver of the white pickup who crossed the line is RELATED TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesc55 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 11 hours ago, smedly said: actually you are wrong, what he did was exactly the correct thing to do - he tried to keep maximum control of his vehicle and steer out of the way, when you apply the brake you are no longer in full control and this accident could have been a lot worse maybe even a head on event, remember he was not expecting the overtaking vehicle to continue coming towards him - he got the best possible outcome he could have hoped for.....no one died. Totally silly. When you use brakes you lose some level of control? Remind me to never ride in any vehicle you are driving. Yes, if you are a totally inept driver, if you brake severely compounded by some drastic wheel jerks....you are likely to to lose control. (which you probably never had much of to start with). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai police officers are like the dumb children in your math class in the 3rd grade. They won't do the work required because it is too difficult for them, and they are lazy and stupid.

wolfmanjack Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 17 hours ago, smedly said: either drunk or on facebook or both, I can think of no other rational reason for this, the vehicle he was overtaking was also off the road so there was plenty of room I honestly believe that Mobile Phone use is the number one cause of accidents in this country, drunk driving, careless driving and speeding come after in any order you like or a combination of all of them, the ultimate blame is lack of the police's ability or willingness to enforce traffic law the driver may have fallen asleep. That is the only other possible reason I can think of for the continuous drifting towards the other truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why this collision is in an unusual circumstance. It would appear for one reason or another's driver isn't in control of the white vehicle.Why is a matter for speculation or in the case of some experts, assumption. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
