bluesofa Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 "The truck had come to a rest on its side after hitting two trees, and levelling a "Reduce Speed" sign, Capt Jarus noted" What irony. A waste of beer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEVUP Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 & if the driver has done a runner for doing the above, I would say the local neighbourhood may get to sample as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oztruckie Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 There was a brewery years ago in Melbourne, all there beer was trucked interstate, some drivers would have a few freebies while waiting to load, you guessed it lol, get up the road later at night, arse over head they go, brewery quickly put a stop to drivers drinking.

Psimbo Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 This hill is getting worse and worse for vehicles- must be at least one a week either flipped, in the ditch or failed to get up the hill either side of the naka Police Box. A lot of people get impatient stuck behind slow vehicles as well and dangerously overtake, another reason that causes oncoming traffic to panic break and skid. I'd rather be delayed for 2 or three minutes than kill myself but others don't seem to have that mentality Unfortunately its only a matter of time before a vehicle lands on one of the huts just to the east of the road.

marqus12 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 For two years in my twenties I was a truck driver without previous experience on mountainous routes and I do not know how the Thais can so easily turn over o.r make the heavy truck fly. Maybe trucks in Thailand are sell without ABS just like scooters ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
