Video: Crazy Thai driving as Fortuner cuts in front of tour bus at Phuket U-turn

CCTV footage posted on a Phuket page showed a Toyota Fortuner cut in front of a tour bus at a U-turn in Kathu. 

 

The driver waits for three motorcycles to pass before pulling in front of the bus that swerves and hits a power pole. 

 

Power cuts were experienced in a large swathe of the Kathu area yesterday. It took 4 hours for electrical engineers to make repairs. 

 

The Fortuner continued on its way feeling the scene.

 

There were no reports of injuries in the Thai Rath story.

Driver of Fortuner must have had something to hide. The front left took a pretty good hit.

My view says the tour bus was going at a pretty good clip.

How do you not see a bus????

 

.... What more can be said about this,? Stupidity in the extreme... 

 

Thr bus driver did well. The fortune driver needs to be banned before he/she kills someone, imagine if the fortuner pulled out in front of those bikes.... 

 

Shame the bus driver didn't just brake straight.

 

No greater damage to the bus, no power cuts and a harsh lesson for FT t***.

True, should have kept going straight & pushed the Fortuner tw@t into next year !!

I hope some  CCTV footage further up the road might capture his plate number!

Just input Thailand Crashes into YouTube and you will see how much already exists.

Maybe have a look in China crashes also?

Someone has to make a clip of all the accident clips and publish it world wide, and see what it would do to Thailand's public image.....

Does the headline mean the bus driver was driving crazy?

 

Do they have the number plate and the identity of the driver? Has he/she/heshe been arrested yet? And if not, do they know it was a Thai driving?

 

And no, I haven't got the rose tinted specs on, just curious with the headline.

Good effort from the bus driver, hope the fortunner drivers caught, you cant wait for 3 motor bikes and then not see the bus behind them, impossible.

They do struggle with how to use u-turns.....

Many of which are there because Thai drivers "struggle with roundabouts" so you have a no-win situation, TIT after all.

Mabey the driver just had enough of the tour buses,speeding, belching smoke and bullying their way around .....I know I have !

I am impressed he waited for the scooters to pass. Most SUV/busses pull straight out in front of scooters. They stop or it is their loss seems to be the attitude.
