There isn’t any common sense here whatsoeverfor that matter ??♂️ I had a woman driver coming head on towards me while she was over taking one of those polluting red buses. I was on my scooter but next to my left hand side of the lane ( this in a small two way road in Bkk ) I had a slow scooter rider ( sleeping on it ) Who also got scared when he woke up and shouted at me since I went towards him while I was try to avoid this stupid woman coming right at me who was over taking the bus and needless to say on the phone !!! I’ve shouted at her but perhaps it’d been better kicking her car door, not that she gave a damn, she just carried on causing another major accident down the road.. Thanks God I got away with it but it’s just like an accident waiting to happen anytime in this jungle..They should learn how to walk first before handling a car ! Terrible to put it lightly ?

JayBird Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 How can you rear end a parked car? Will the penalty to the rear ender be serious? How would they be sentenced in other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condolences to the victim. Truely tragic, wake up Thailand Does not seem to be a breakdown lane. Perhaps for bikes but certainly not for cars. Just not wide enough. Break down over there and I guess unless you have a red triangle in your car which you can put up the road you should get out of the car and walk down the road away from the potential hazard. Staying in the car and a big truck rear ends you then at the very least you are going to be injured and possibly badly. Reminder to self, buy a red triangle.

Stoker58 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 This was inevitable. They treat the breakdown lane on those expressways as the high speed undertaking lane. Until they learn to obey the rules these things will continue to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would know that if you had read the rules. Here is the relevant excerpt. You will note we have no right to edit, so we get what comes. Part of the deal to get the news feed in the first place. The ThaiVisa News Team gathers and disseminates news bulletins from Thai and International sources, and republishes them in the News Forums for our members' information and enjoyment. Our News Team works hard to bring quality content to the News Forums, and should be respected for their efforts.

Cheops Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 A couple of days ago I saw 2 cars which collided with each other, stopping in the middle lane on the Chaeng Wattana road and there were many cars left and right of them, some of which driving quite fast. There was a girl in school uniform who was probably about 8 years old walking outside the vehicle with her mum, very dangerously close to many fast driving cars. They really have totally no clue about safety, other than how to make 'Safety First' signs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 You know, I gotta feel for the pickup driver. He had no chance at all of evasive action and he totaled that guy. I hope his mind's gonna be okay. Also, what does engine trouble mean? Did his overheat light come on? Low oil pressure? Losing power? Stop dead? If it's anything but the latter, you put your 4-ways on and get off at the next ramp. You do anything but stop, get out and check the engine. Which, I am 100% certain he could neither fix nor comprehend unless he was a trained mechanic, even then he'd be unable to fix anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booboo101 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Although I’ve lived here 10 years I rarely drive more than a few Km outside my local Town, yesterday I drove 300 km and if it wasn’t for my careful driving and watching all my mirrors every few seconds, I could easily have had 6 accidents, and do you ever see a Police patrol car out on the roads.......err no . I get back to my home town and there’s a road block, the cops are checking everybody’s license.........that’s says it all really, it’s just so much easier to collect the cash than actually do some work ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parked in the inside lane with hood up and hazard lights on, and still gets nailed.... And obviously in the middle of the day, not even night or a time of reduced visibility. Even parked normally or at traffic lights, as I have mention on other threads, my car's front and rear have been replaced so many times I've lost count and all while I was parked (properly and neatly I might add). At a crossroad I was waiting (behind the white lines and not protruding into traffic) at a traffic lights, when one bright spark decided to do a right hand U turn (opposite me) and at speed. He didn't make the U turn but he did hit my car. You are right, being stationary here is no guarantee of being safe. AS for the OP, well what can I say that already hasn't been written here. What a terrible tragic way to die. He was probably conscious as he fell. My condolences to his family. I hope the culprits on the above expressway are charged with murder...but somehow I doubt that will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
