Popular Post webfact Posted September 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2019 Video: Rattle-bucket bus "going sideways" and still picking up passengers Picture: 77kaoded Netizens were calling on the authorities to act after a series of video clips showed a bus in a disgraceful state travelling between Chaiyaphum and Khon Kaen in Thailand's north east. The bus - sometimes creeping along, sometimes travelling at speed - appeared to have a severe problem with its wheel alignment. So much so that at some points it appeared to be going along at an angle of about 30% rather than straight. It thus appeared to virtually be going sideways. Yet passengers were still being picked up. 77kaoded reported that many people across the provinces had seen the regular route green and orange bus and were calling for something to be done before there is a serious accident caused by the rattle-bucket.

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted September 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Break failure & a few deaths pending... But why worry about that now 'nietezens' think too mutt!!! Seriously though... These vehicles need to be confiscated and disposed of, and the owners charged. I have difficulty blaming the minimum wage drivers who have little choice but to drive these death traps for risk of losing their job.

Popular Post unamazedloso Posted September 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2019 That aint a wheel alignment issue! Mostlikely a bad welding job whilst putting together a bus made from probably 3 written off busses? Get it off the road immediately! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennb6 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 reminds me of the videos of heavy cross-wind airplane landings (crabbing). Or, maybe it's a city bus specially engineered for tight left hand turns, uh, yea, that's it, yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owenm Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Is this the same bus that was filmed several weeks ago, or is the trend growing with more death trap buses showing off their skills?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger70 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 This has Nothing to do with wheel alignment, we used to get that crabbing on trucks when the Centre bolt on the springs of the Rear axle breaks and the axle slides forward a bit or backwards . ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundooman Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 This is obviously not a new problem - it has been around a while. So in the meantime, how many police officers have actually seen or passed this vehicle and how many of those do you think would have done anything about it? Policing at it's most finest!
