Is it called Spoons as they were needed to prise the casualties off the ground?

The driver obviously didn't do his first parade service this morning, that means walking around your vehicle visually checking that all lights work, wheel nuts are tight and secure, tyre pressures correct, tread depth, oil levels, fluid levels etc etc...................Cretin.

Story says they sheared off, probably at the same time when he was driving.

From the photo something is not adding up .. 4 of the studs look to have sheared off but wheel nuts appear to still be in position on 2 others .. 

Studs, nuts, position???....sounds like a conversation being had after you have visited Boystown!....LOL

OK.

1993, Hull city center, Uk

Got in a cab with 3 other mates on the piss out side the tower night club,

heading out of town,  going round a corner and the rear wheel come off the cab.

the cab ground to a halt, with us lot,  in stitches of what just went on.

No one hurt,  we found the wheel , but not the nuts, so game over, driver got a back up cab for us all. a very funny drunken night, with a lost cab rear wheel.

so, there you go a story from home country. 

But like,  all stuff like this, it happens to much over here. 

 

 

 

 

Why game over? Just take three nuts from the other three wheels and put the wheel back on. Drive carefully to wherever you need to go to get more nuts. Not rocket science.

I truly hope you blokes never go bush in Oz....you would not survive.

At least it's more creative than "brake failure"...

And, they keep coming back ????

Because it was a public service vehicle,  thats why.

no rocket science needed for this one.

 

Do you work freelance in a Thai bus garage ?  

 

 

 

These disgusting old worn out smoke belching buses should be banned from any Urban areas....period ...cant they fine cleaner leaner buses to run around Pattaya City

Good that no one was hurt.

If such a thing flies of at high speed it kills.

 

Many years ago, my bank manager in the UK who had just refused me a business loan was killed the next day when a truck wheel came loose, bounced off the motorway and landed on him as he was cycling on a path next to the road...

As you mention he'd just refused you a loan, it wasn't to start a business inspecting wheel nuts was it?

I think you are the one who is blinkered. You seem to be unable to find fault with Thailand. 

If this had happened in the UK, for instance, action would be taken. 

And you think that action is not being taken in this case?

Was his replacement any more amenable.

Hard to say. Could be nuts holding the inner wheel.
