Popular Post rooster59 Posted October 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2018 Video: Head on collision just avoided on Saraburi bridge Image: Sanook Dashcam footage from Saraburi north of Bangkok showed a motorist going over a a bridge. As he reaches the brow of the hill a huge truck overtakes coming toward him and a collision is narrowly avoided. Behind the trailer is a Ford pick-up driving under cover of the larger vehicle. The Ford is obliged to stop and wait while the innocent truck on his left moves along. Sanook went to the area and found everything normal. But they said many people commented on the footage on Facebook calling on the authorities to act. The bridge is in Ban Mor district of Saraburi and the incident happened on Wednesday and was posted Thursday.

The Ford pickup still standing there with 35 onlookers? Its freaking hours, or even a day later. Here behind my house a truck almost crashed into another truck. Can sanook come and take a look somewhere next week? Or if they dont have time, maybe they can come in a month or 2. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet there is a thread running at the moment extolling the Thai incapacity to actually think.Apparently some Westerners postulate that being squashed like a bug is a splendid tribute to Thai intellectual capabilities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hotchilli Posted October 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2018 That's not the thing you want to see when getting to the brow of a hill, luckily the inside truck had the good sense to slow down and give the idiot overtaking the chance to cut in... as for the Ford pick-up.. well I can't write it here as it would be censored ! 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpy Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Time for drivers to understand the meaning of double yellow lines !!

Yup - simple for 'farang' but not understood by Thai authority, sadly. Where there is no will, there is no way! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, this sort of behavior is way more common on Thai roads than any form of courtesy. When I first came here 20 years ago now, 2-3 of us were talking and driving come up, someone asked what are the driving rules in Thailand, some who had been here a while said "The bigger you are the more right of way you have ", something I have never forgotten,and it is still true to this day, and for the next 20 years .
