No worries, where there's no sense there's no feeling. It seems the average Thai driver is in a contest as to who can cause the most carnage on the road As for this drover having a head injury it may have knocked some sense into him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like the meat in a truck sandwich. Whenever waiting at the lights I always have one eye on the mirror and a get out plan for exactly this reason. Then an opportunistic car salesman ventured forth from the showroom to inquire if they would be interested in a new car.
