Whilst the regulations and safety record of government run coaches has improved over the past ten years. Sadly private rentals lag very far behind with very little oversight or regulatory framework . I am stunned that yesterday 18 people died and 50 more were injured in two seperate coach accidents. 3 Unfortunately "Unavoidable" in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWillOz Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 This bus probably has a dash cam which recorded the brakes skidding noise also.... if i were a bus operator, i would not fail to put a dash cam in every vehicle given how cheap they are and the value of recording accident events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil2407 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 There are ten types of driving licence issued in Thailand. The seven main types are listed and explained below.[3] Type 1 - Temporary Private Car: This licence is issued to those who have successfully completed the driving test. This licence is valid for a period of two years. Licence holders are not permitted to drive outside the country.[citation needed] (Many Thai people who live/study outside the country have claimed to be able to use the temporary licence to drive in that country without any problem, with some even receiving the confirmation from transport officers themselves that they are allowed to drive there. These countries include United States [might depend on the state], Australia, and New Zealand.) Type 2 - Private Car: This licence is issued to those who have possessed a temporary licence for a period of two years. This licence is valid for a period of five years. Private Lifetime Car is no longer issued to new applicants but remains valid to existing holders. Type 3 - Private three-wheel vehicle: This licence is issued to those who wish to drive a three-wheel vehicle, commonly known as tuk-tuk. Type 4 - Commercial Car: This licence is issued to those who wish to commercially operate private car such as taxi and other privately owned taxi. Type 5 - Commercial three-wheel: This licence is issued to those who wish to commercially operate three-wheel vehicle such as Tuk-Tuk drivers. Type 6 - Motorcycle: This licence is issued to those who wish to drive a motorcycle. Type 7 - Road work licence: This licence is issued to road construction vehicle drivers.

Russell17au Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 How can you have a valid licence until 2019 but it is out of date. If the licence is out of date then it has expired and it is no longer a valid licence but if it is valid until 2019 how can it be out of date. Something very strange about the licence.
