He didn't know that wet roads are slippery.

How can you accuse the poor guy

Good for a laughter as no 3rd party injured/killed.

Too fast for your driving skills, Boonchop!

At least there is one less killing machine on the road today ????

Yes, temporarily, but Boonchop probably had a first class insurance and will get a new "killing machine". Can't change stupid.

I blame the fence. If it hadn't have been there he would have missed it.

I've never had an accident here, but then again I've got 7 Somdet amulets hanging off my rear view mirror!

Counter-productive, for the following reasons:

- he will no longer have a pickup and his value as a human being will be diminished in the eyes of his friends and family.

- his insurance claim will be invalidated and he won't be able to buy a new vehicle, thereby affecting local trade.

- without any money, he won't be able to pay off the cops.

- being unable to drive, he can no longer contribute to the policeman's ball on a regular basis.

- he will no longer be able to drive to his regular watering hole with 15 workers in the back.

 

So, it's better that he isn't breathalysed.

That rain again.... It causes so many accidents here in Thailand.

Very true. I am making the point that here they are not taught/told what to do in the wet!!!

My ride only have a white buddha-string around the steering column. Perhaps I should upgrade to amulets.

Essential!

Speeding driver loses control

 

I thought it was always the car that loses control, not the innocent driver ????

I can certainly recommend said upgrade, my gas mileage has near doubled since installation of amulets, ride also seems firmer yet more comfortable!

Frankly, I suggest a full revamp of the dash. Get a full shrine installed, half a dozen jolly friars, a few small Buddhas and some flowers, plus a nodding dog. You should be able to see where you're going after that upgrade and most of all, you'll be quite safe.

That is what they seem to do...as if going faster in the rain will get them less wet !
