Popular Post webfact Posted May 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2020 Video: Driver pulls out on vehicle overtaking - innocent one ends up in the ravine Picture: Sanook Dash cam footage posted to the V.Plus+ fan page showed a pick-up pull out into the path of a vehicle attempting to overtake on the Hot to Mae Sariang Road in Chiang Mai on Saturday morning. The vehicle that pulled out ended up crashing up ahead while an innocent driver of another vehicle ended up hurtling down a ravine into a creek. The driver of the dash cam vehicle responds to the screams of a woman by saying that he was lucky he was able to control his vehicle and that he was not in the wrong. Sanook reported that it was fortunate there were no serious injuries in the accident that occurred at 7.50 am on Saturday.

soi3eddie Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 What a mess. Should never have tried to overtake under those circumstances. Did anyone notice how many vehicles passed the crashed truck without stopping? Sad for the totally innocent driver pushed off the road. No speed indicator or gps location on the dashcam - should be a requirement and then used as evidence to prosecute anyone deemed guilty of an offence 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VocalNeal Posted May 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2020 My take? The driver of the vehicle that pulled into the path of the other one obviously didn't look in his mirror because it was a solid yellow line and he didn't have to look because no one else would overtake on solid yellow. 5 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a law that drivers only need to check once a day, then there would be no problem. (A small twist of one of my son's old female very outspoken in-laws, who has caused several accidents like this, she flatly refuses to check before pulling out, overtaking etc. It's not my problem.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to see blurred but for sure it was a double or solid yellow which means no passing! Both vehicles behind the main vehicle were in the wrong.

You are not allowed to cross any continuous line in the centre of the road, single or double. Read the rules. Same in all countries that I know of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
