RotBenz8888 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) What's the news here? Happens 100s of times on a daily basis. Ok, that's a good thing: "Daily News who are running a driving awareness campaign called it a warning to drivers."

SammyT Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 They're using a non-deadly, presumably no injury crash to raise awareness? I'd be going more down the 50 dead people a day angle instead. That's just me though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish it might have some effect, but sadly I can only assume it's tongue in cheek? I noticed right at the end of the video clip there were two motorcyclists who ignored the 'no right turn' and 'no U turn' signs, to both perform U turns. Normal sort of day really... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMartinHandyman Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Nothing sudden about 1and 2 stopping. 3 and 4 are total numpties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mercman24 Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 yes they were all going to run that level crossing , (except one) and wonder why people get killed by trains as said many times they just cannot wait a few minutes, i bet we have all had it especially on sukhumvit road, pattaya, where we cannot cross over on the green as some kin idiot has jumped a red light 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 All trying to get across before the barrier is totally down, the first car brakes as he thinks he can't make it, No 2 just stops in time.. 3 & 4 are the usual idiots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMartinHandyman Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The pickup drivers here still don't realise their vehicles weigh over 2 tons and takes twice the distance for braking compared to a normal sedan.Some yes but most are shocked and not prepared for a situation where they can’t scare everybody out of the way by not yielding or slowing down. No fallback strategy when flashing lights and blowing the horn doesn’t clear the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these idiots like to tailgate thinking they are driving a 10 million baht Ferrari with massive power and braking performance. They don't realize they need to work harder to drive something better than a 800k baht junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
