Tanker overturns, paves road with big molasses spill

By The Nation

 

 

A tanker trailer carrying molasses from Kamphaeng Phet to Kanchanaburi overturned on a road in Chainat’s Muang district on Monday morning, paving the road with the sticky brown liquid.

 

 

Police said the accident happened on Suphan-Chainat road near an intersection.

 

The trailer driver, Manote Nuwornrano, 29, told police that a motorcyclist cut in the front of his truck, prompting him to swerve to one side and lose control.

 

The section of the road was close pending a massive cleaning.

idiot, that is not professional driving; in the area of the world i grew up in, we are taught in basic driver education where to hit animals such as deer that dart out over the road;

motorcy that aren't looking should be treated the same, else this tanker takes out a group of innocent bystanders

What a stupid idea .In most educated countries countries a driver is taught to "Observe" the road and drive safely so as to avoid accidents.Where did you "attempt to learn" to drive ,in Russia or China ?

I love molasses, but not bitumin infused flavour

Not so. Take Public Service Vehicle lessons in the UK you are told that you are responsible for 45+ plus passengers under your care and that any sudden evasive maneuvers must be avoided lest you endanger them. 

 

As for molasses? We used to race Karts on a hockey rink covered with CocaCola syrup which must be very similar in consistency.

Yes but i bought molasses for cattle feed, not human consumption.

In most educated countries motorcyclists don't pull out in front of approaching vehicles as if they weren't there.
