bluesofa Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 "45 year old Pinyo Faisee, the driver, says he was driving from Palai heading to Chalong. He says he lost control of his vehicle and collided with the bridge and a big water pipe. He and his friend were assisting police with their inquiries about the cause of the incident." I hope the police don't attempt to sweep this one under the carpet, we don't want another watergate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggy Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The photos in the original article shows one of the tyres is down to the wear limit, so that was probably a contributory factor, and it looks wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf99 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Two injured after "speeding "car overturns.......is the correct headline. Smooth tyres, poor brakes, maybe sloppy suspension, worn track rod ends etc etc... Things that come under a subject called preventative maintenance....not known in many developing countries and no direct translation in their language.

Unbelievable, since fair used tires can be bought and mounted quite cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
