The company put that driver there so it is ultimately responsible. Do they require him to do the checks? Do they make sure he is rested sufficiently? Do they sack drivers who say they are too tired to drive safely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that tankers that usually carry hazardous liquids as per the placard would be loaded with water/water vapour?.There was definitely a liquid leaking from the tank. I'm surprised they didn't pixelate all the blood on the rear of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talk about the other story who say they have sleeping driver and NOT crash. If you believe is possible, up to you. i not believe that. Will crash in less 10 second sure. Impossible. OK, it sounded like you were quibbling the other point - re: the OP, to me. So you would concede that plenty of crashes happen in Thailand (especially re: buses/minivans) because the driver dozed off at the wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxYakov Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Looking at the image of the back of the tanker, it appears that the drivers should have fastened his seat belt. Then again, looking at the image of the bus, maybe the seat belt's being fastened would not have made a difference. Sleep in Peace now, Kuhn Sasatra. Wish a speedy recovery for the injured passengers. Edited October 19, 2019 by MaxYakov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its called a micro sleep and happens to many long distance drivers , Can last for a split second or many seconds . Many professional drivers suffer from these.
