These trucks should be banned from motorways. Trucks are not the problem. It takes a driver to make a truck dangerous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimn Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I read another report that stated that the driver fell asleep at the wheel. This would explain his uncontrolled course into the central reservation. Thank goodness no one else was killed. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 No seat belts , probably alcohol or drugs in his blood , what could possibly go wrong ? At least this time only only one victim . The innocent ones survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just a part that is like you describe dangerous but the average driver not really a problem. Maybe its different in other parts of the country. In BKK there is a lot of one way traffic so its hard to be real stupid there. I do agree with what you say but on the whole Thai drivers are ignorant meaning they have not had the proper road craft taught them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deceased was probably a faithful Buddhist ,they are protected by amulets and stuff like that . No need for a seat belt, helmets or anything like that .

Being Thai helps, but then you knew that. All sympathies to the family of the driver, because it's them who will ultimately bear the burden of the consequences of his stupidity. No need for seat-belts, Thais know best. Had he been wearing a belt, perhaps he might have survived. Will any Thais learn from that? I doubt it, they already know best.
