Thailand,the hub of brake failures,

I wonder if the police just take these

drivers word,and never check to see

if the brakes are actually faulty.

I'd imagine the bib know as much about the mechanics of the bus as the idiot keeping the steering wheel warm, which on a factor outa 10 would be very close to 0.

From the picture, I'd say they are very likely faulty now.

Eakkaluck then exited the bus, grabbed hold of a hanging electricity cable and received an electric shock.
 

A creative alternative to the usual running away from the scene.

And companies are crying out to extend the life of vans from 10 years to 15 years ????

Soon the vans will have an age greater than the mental age of the drivers !!!!

That's what probably stopped him fleeing. ????????????

If only he received an electric shock to stop him falling asleep behind the wheel, the accident may never have happened. Maybe give the passengers a few cattle prods.   ????
