webfact Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Video: Whose fault was it - the bike or the truck? Picture: Sanook A husband, fed up with a neighbor's claims that his son was innocent, posted a CCTV clip on Facebook to show what he said was the truth. Ramak Phaencharoen, 44, from Buriram, asked people on social media who they thought was to blame in the accident that injured his wife Lamai, 44. CCTV footage from some roadside property showed a six wheel truck emerge from a side soi onto the local road next to a main road. The earth laden truck went over Lamai on her motorcycle with both its front and back wheels then turned onto a main road. Good Samaritans rushed to her aid and, reported Sanook, stopped the truck from fleeing the scene. Fortunately she was not killed but she needed 12 stitches to an ankle and seven in a head wound and had been unable to work for a month since the accident on Christmas Day. The driver of the truck refused to help with any payments but Lamai got 28,545 baht from the insurance of the truck. All of the participants in this incident live in the same village. Ramak was furious when the father of the truck driver started bad-mouthing his wife saying that she was responsible and was a useless motorbike rider. Ramak decided to post the CCTV evidence on Facebook to show what he said was the truth. Lamai told Sanook she was on her way to market. She slowed when she saw the truck that then appeared to stop before speeding up and colliding with her.

Popular Post geriatrickid Posted January 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2019 I was going to say bike until I watched a couple times. The truck was cutting across the road and there was insufficient distance for the motorbike to stop. The fact that the trucker attempted to flee seals the culpability for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post seajae Posted January 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2019 truck is at fault, main road has right of way, have to wonder at the drivers condition as he would have had to see the bike, know he hit it but kept driving until stopped. Trucks seem to think they automatically can do as they please because of their size, then again bike riders seem to think they can as well because they are smaller 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked it if the clip was a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 No-one was at fault.. They were both just driving to their destination, as normal. Fate conspired to put them both on the same bit of tarmac at the same time. Got to love those geese. Stayed calm throughout the entire calamity !!

overherebc Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'll go for she couldn't stop ( crappy brakes probably ) and too late tried to get round the truck but for some reason tried the front instead of at the rear. Truck was wrong and she zigged when she should have zagged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I If there is no sign, then there is no rule for that. Sorry ... However there most likely was a sign giving the main road right of way. And bottom line, the first rule always is: drive safe.

Strange as far as I know when joining a main road joining traffic always has to give way to traffic already traveling on the main road. I thought that was a normal thing the world over. It is in my country sign or no sign. Becomes a bit different if you don't know what the main road is but its pretty clear what is the main road in this picture.
