Picture: Sanook

 

A dash cam video posted online showed the dangerous driving of a number 75 bus driver. 

 

A Suzuki Swift is nearly wiped out as the bus travels at speed on the wrong side of the road. 

 

Sanook reported that the Swift driver was left shaken and scared - they had a toddler aged 1 year and five months in the car. 

 

Netizens called for proper action from the authorities - not meaningless slaps on the wrist for Bangkok's crazy bus drivers. 

 

While many people went online to recount horror stories of dangerous driving on Route 75.

The Swift driver was very lucky,the bus driver needs taking off

the road,but will not happen,he will be out there now,making 

more dangerous manoeuvres,putting lives at risk.

There are so many of them driving the exact same way so nothing will happen to this guy as usual. Why Thai society is incapable of correcting and punishing any wrong doings whatsoever? I mean literally anything goes unpunished.

I am too the point,.... the roads are full of idiots ,driving in Thailand is challenging and that will never change ..just do something about old disgusting diesel buses and trucks...

Police will only come if there is an accident , they are not out and about in the heat when they don't have to be.

Police spokesman said...''We have told the Bus driver to come and see us and we are expecting him to arrive when he is not too busy; around 2040 '' !

That was attempted man slaughter!! not reckless driving!!

should have the bus number and plates. report to police and all the news and internet sites. (did I see the driver teaching his 10yr old how to drive the bus?)

Interesting the dash-cam driver wasn’t too shaken and took the opportunity to overtake the blue car that pulled over in front of them.
Looks like any other day anywhere in Thailand.

Nothing happened so the bus driver will end up with 500B fine and wai. Company 5000B fine.

I encounter this driving attitude while on my scooter almost every day. The oncoming car/truck/bus takes the attitude you are a scooter, squeeze further to the left or else. It may be your lane and right of way, but you will be dead, yes it will be my fault but as long as I am not drunk or high, I will take responsibility and receive a 1,500 baht fine and a suspended two-year sentence. The bus driver just thought the car should just move to the left, no problem.

Normal driving in Thailand. An ineffective police force and drivers who don't care about the road rules

I agree with you.

I often see buses driving on the wrong side of the road. It is so normal that most cars just pull over as a normal thing to do.

 

Same as buses driving blatantly over red lights. Cars just pull up and wait. 

 

The bus driver must have been trying to meet his schedule!  ????

High on Yaa Bah.

i like the bus  drivers  speed,  folk  like this  should be "put  down"  theyll never  change, death changes them.
