See the similarity now? Yep, thanks for confirming just how much it looks like bunting. The mid section is crummy. Selective cut and pasting. That's a new one!

It may have been reported since this started that she admitted that she was on the phone bit that wasn't the issue! The issue was you lot claiming without being able to see it that it looked like she was on the phone. It could not be seen in the dash cam video that she was on the phone. Educated guess which turned out to be right on the money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor here, they live in a dreamworld where they believe they are indestructible! Someone remarked recently that they are a "primitive" people, they really are, they haven't the sense to realise just how easily they can get hurt! I think it is all in Buddha’s hands. that is the belief I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Very lucky woman to not have killed herself off in that crash. No helmet could have been ran over by the camera vehicle, or someone else. Pretty stupid to be on the phone and not noticing the barrier was down. Very lucky indeed! Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faranggl Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It wouldn"t take too much to mark all rr crossings, stop signs, cross walks, etc. In smart phone gps that would cut out the phone 100 yards radius of marks. Make it manditory in new phones. Maybe when you stop, the screen and audio comes back on? Perhaps too draconian. This accident, stupid or not, probably not fun.

hotchilli Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Beggars belief what people are thinking or even doing on the roads? From the dash cam vehicle the road is clearly marked leading up to the crossing, presuming this is the same on both sides, the barrier is down across the junction with lights flashing & red/white markers hanging below... just how much more can you do to stop imbeciles from crashing? Speaks volumes of Thailands driving abilities or even awareness of what's going on around them!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keesters Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Not only blind to the barrier and lights but deaf as in my experience there is a very loud alarm sounding as well. Take away her motorbike, make sure she never drives/rides again as she is obviously a danger to herself and more importantly other road users. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys in live in Thailand? If you do, you would know roads are not designed for safety. Unless the barrier was brightly colored those straight grey metal bars can be dificult to distinguish from background eg. the line of the railway tracks or other road features.

This forum just seems to be getting more and more like lets bash victims. "This forum just seems to be getting more and more like lets bash victims." The bashing of victims, as you put it, occurs when the subject of one of these topics has acted in an irresponsible or stupid manner. Millions of Thais cross thousands of railway crossings every day and 99.9% do it safely. these articles are usually about the people who did it unsafely and are thus IMHO are worthy of the criticism of posters. In this particular case, " those straight grey metal bars" are steel cables adorned with red and white markers and flashing lights. There are also advance warning signs approaching a crossing by the roadside and at the crossing as well as bells and flashing lights on cross-bucks. I'm not sure what more warning the railway can give . And I am a resident in the country. Edited May 4, 2018 by ratcatcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
