from the home of CC Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'd be looking for a lottery ticket matching the plate number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retiredandhappyhere Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Either these pick-ups must be made of cardboard OR, more likely, it was going at a hell of a speed to end up like that. Obviously, crashes happen in every country but I have rarely seen such mangled wrecks as I have seen time and time again in Thailand. Perhaps, when the driver falls asleep at the wheel, there is an automatic knee-jerk reaction to put more pressure on the accelerator, although one might have expected that, with sleep, there would normally be a relaxed touch, thereby reducing speed.

Prairieboy Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Quote The man, who was the driver, admitted that he had dozed off. The seats in the pick-up trucks must be too comfortable since falling asleep at the wheel seems to be endemic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, crashes happen in every country but I have rarely seen such mangled wrecks as I have seen time and time again in Thailand. Modern vehicles are designed (for safety reasons) to deform/disintegrate in order to dissipate the huge forces often created in a crash, whilst having a very strong protective frame around the occupants' area. It's the technology which was originally in single seater race cars e,g. Formula 1 & IndyCars. Obviously there is a point in the design at which the laws of physics take over, & the wearing of seatbelts by both front & rear cabin passengers is another crucial aspect of minimising injury or increasing survival chances. Like you, I have never seen so many mangled vehicles as I have over here in Thailand - generally speaking car driving/bike riding awareness & standards are pi$$poor!
