It looked, to me, that the pickup had no intention of using the hard shoulder/innermost lane/ motorcycle lane. The truck driver forced him into that lane and then into the wall. A deliberate, malicious act by the truck driver who was 100% to blame. you are right Spidey, according to the Land Traffic Act BE 2522 Section 45 Quote: Section 45 (400-1000B) [No driver shall overtake another vehicle from the left-side unless: a. the vehicle to be overtaken is making a right turn or has given a signal that he is going to make a right turn b. the roadway is arranged with two or more traffic lanes in the same direction.] and like you mention in a latter post, it would be better to avoid so. Thais are not good in using mirrows, if they want to change lanes they just do it. But I could not agree with the statement that this accident is 100% the fault of the truck driver. If you have a look in the video on 00:13 this pickup is already breaking the law by crossing the crossedout section. His intention was to be the first and didn't want to wait in line. From my point of view, its the fault of Somchai in a Toyota Mule with 120HP thinking he drives a race car and is king of the road. Unfortunately, he met a bigger Somchai with a bigger toy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree with you, the pick-up was on a mission to get somewhere fast but the truck driver forced the pick-up into the wall... the truck came all across the lanes and eventually into the hard shoulder area to try to stop the pick-up!!! Truck driver should be done for this one! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrissables Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 6 hours ago, bert bloggs said: DONT UNDERTAKE,your to blame if this happens. The pickup was wrongly in the hard shoulder, the emergency lane, so was the truck. Equally to blame. If on a normal road on a motorbike you are expected to undertake, i have actually been pulled over by the police for overtaking. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 300sd Posted September 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Pic-up driver: me first attitude as usual. Truck driver: pulled over on the shoulder to stop. Most likely had his signal on and most likely the pic-up driver couldn't see past his nose, as usual.

connda Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 So this is what my Thai wife was talking about. Today I enter the freeway in the acceleration lane and use it to pass a truck the was traveling about 50 kph as I entered the highway. I just accelerated up to speed in the lane that is a designated acceleration lane. Wife is like: "Oh oh oh, this dangerous. I see on Facebook!!!" Needless to say wife doesn't drive. Way different from what the aggressive driving idiots do who use the shoulder as a third lane because they are too impatient to drive with caution and consideration for other drivers. TIT - which is why Thailand is the Number 1 Most Dangerous Roads in the World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitfalang Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 8 hours ago, bert bloggs said: DONT UNDERTAKE,your to blame if this happens. While one certainly shouldn't drive on the shoulder, it's pretty much impossible to not undertake because of the general lack of lane discipline. I once tried if I could not undertake for 10 minutes on the motorway for a test and it proved impossible. Always someone hogging the rightmost lane even on an empty road, no reaction from flashing lights. Back to slaloming around the cars even just to keep a speed of 120km/h. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truck driver changed lane to the shoulder (probably for illegal parking) and had to give way to whoever is in the shoulder lane. He just didn't bother to look even having a rear camera.

I also took my test in the UK, so personally, I have an aversion to undertaking. You rubbished my post but offered zero evidence as to why. BTW. I have driven quite a lot round Nong Khai and from what I saw, undertaking is the norm in your neck of the woods too. They All talk shit ,,,,If the truck driver had his Left indicator on Before moving into the left, The ute is Wrong if he didn't have his indicator on than the Truck is Wrong,,,, One can overtake /undertake on an Multi lane H Way,,, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceruhe Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Would be nice to see the picks perspective, but from what I see... The truck driver seems to be starting to merge left once he was slightly ahead of that slow pickup driver, can't acertain if the signal was on. Kinda doesn't look that way from the rear cam though, however unsure if it's simply too bright to notice and also unsure if that's a valid argument, as signals should be clearly visible during daylight as well. Currently I'd assume the truck driver called the left lane "cleared to merge" after overtaking the slow pickup and didn't double check for the dimwit approaching, which he also had enough time to notice tbh regardless if that rear cams perspective is actually connected to a monitor or not. Pickup drives and arrives like the <deleted> douche he is and most likely had enough information to make a correct decision to avoid the collision. At the very latest once he passed the slow pickup driver he should have noticed the most obvious left steering from the truck and backed off I think if I had to rule on that, I'd heavy heartedly fault both, but most certainly would make sure to get that pickup driver for reckless driving, that was a ticking accident bound to happen.

The Truck was simply keeping to the inside lane after the two roads merged. 100% the pickup drivers fault. I can't see anything in this video which could suggest even partial blame on the truck driver. You could throw in brain dead as a contributing factor. ???
