Popular Post metisdead Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2020 From the linked article in the OP, the cement truck driver was not driving fast: Quote The truck, which the witness confirmed was driving slowly, ran into the man’s head, killing him instantly.” It would appear that the motorbike operator was driving in an unsafe manner as he lost control: Quote “A witness at the scene reported that the man riding the motorbike had lost control and fell at the edge of road. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the video it was entirely the fault of the bike rider, tho the pillock walking into the pathway of the bike could have looked first.

To my knowledge that’s not old enough but mind you the number is irrelevant considering that adults don’t behave any better ???? Besides I never said it was his fault have I ? ????

To my knowledge that’s not old enough I was supervising aircraft maintenance at the age of 24.. Signing off on all works carried out. If we made mistakes then potential for helicopters to fall out the sky !! I think at 27yrs old, driving a truck should be no issue.. The video clearly shows it was not his fault anyway... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were just after an accident pointing to the age of the driver as a disaster waiting to happen. When he was not to blame at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairieboy Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) First of all this is not a cement truck but a concrete mixer truck AKA a transit mixer. This is a video of what I presume is the same accident. https://www.facebook.com/koko.pattarawut/videos/10215396933013277/?t=2 Edited February 1, 2020 by Prairieboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 From the video, I wonder if that water on the road made the rider lose traction? Pretty slippery when water trucks spill water on the road when there's been no rain for 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to urge/point you to the gruesome video. But the truck driver did nothing wrong before the accident. That he fled after seeing what had happened is another story.

And I even doubt that the spill of water at the edge came from the truck. The motorcycle rider seemed to have the intention to pass the big truck on the left with very little space left and then comes this pedestrian in his way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was a soldier, I was allowed to drive HGVs younger than the civilian law of 21. One hundred tons of throbbing metal up and down the aurobahns. And where the hell do you get this "savages" rubbish? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Just came to my mind... It would not cost a fortune to equip heavy trucks with side guards. In some countries they are mandatory. Might have saved a life in this case. But TiT, so just forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
