webfact Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Video: Four seriously injured in collision at Korat accident blackspot video screenshot Dash cam footage showed the moment a white car travelling at high speed swerved after overtaking and collided with a black pick-up coming in the other direction. The pick-up ended in the undergrowth with the innocent driver in a grievous condition. Three occupants of the white car were also severely injured. The accident happened on the Prathai - Khong Road in Non Daeng district heading towards Nakhon Ratchasima. It was just 2 kilometers from the Non Daeng Hospital. Netizens who commented in droves generally blamed speeding. Thai Rath - in a sub-titled commentary showing the smash on loop - said that the white car driver was probably not familiar with the road that bottlenecks at that point with four lanes being reduced to two. They said it was a blackspot where there are frequent accidents.

AndyAndyAndy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Truck is in slow lane. I'm in quick lane ready to overtake him. Crazy car comes from behind, rushes through narrowing gap between me and truck. This happens all the times. And always scares <deleted> out of me. Same type of guy as in video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the road markings are a great clue, but when Thai drivers see these markings, they think they are soooo pretty. That's about the extent of what they understand them to be! ????

I have lived here since '99 and I fully understand that all countries have their pros and cons. The main problem that I have observed is that all Netizens complain on Facebook or Line and then turn right around and drive the same way. I live in an an fairly isolated location in Phitsanulok province and every day, I see idiots behind the wheel like the once shown below passing on a bridge...

It's never enough; we have a family member; 19 years old, completely crazy on the road and thinks he is indestructible, so i showed him a few movies of accidents in Thailand. He just laughed and said he was a great driver and it would never happen to him. That's the mindset; it's always going to happen to someone else and never them !
