Video: Have a heart! Mum and kids on way to school soaked by oncoming driver

 

Picture: Daily News

 

 

Dash cam footage from a car in Surat Thani in the south of Thailand showed the moment when an irresponsible driver in a pick-up soaked a mother and her children on the way to school in a motorcycle with a sidecar attachment. 

 

The driver without a care in the world plowed through puddles drenching the family. 

 

Thai media Daily News and the poster Tipatai Viriyavaree called for more consideration than this.

 

It was not known whether this was a deliberate act or just plain bad driving. 

 

After inspecting for any damage the mother continued on stoically to school.

part of thainess

What an example of humanity the pick up driver is....I was going to say what an R  S  ole they were

Poor mum doing the best she can but look here comes someone who is in the dry and only cares about himself or  too busy to notice while on an ipod/phone/app thingy.

Sorry. But this is not a Thai thing. It happens all over the world.

In the UK they have had to bring in a law making this a 'fine' offence. Not sure if it also puts points on yor licence.

In general Thais do not anticipate in traffic.

Common problem.

This is news???  anyway it's part of Thainess not to care about things like that. If stopped the driver would simple say "well she should not have been there".  TIT

Hey.. look on the bright side, at least he didn't run them over or hit them head on like many in this country...

An incomprehensible troll post with a derogatory comment toward Thais and a reply has been removed.

how do you know......???

Sorry for the mum at that instance. But irresponsible driving?? You gotta be kidding. In that rain you often don't see a flippin' thing. And don't even get me started about the real irresponsible driving here in LOS. Is there nothing more important to report about?? 

Me, me, me! Nobody else matters. The ugly side of Thainess.

Or late to get his/her own kids to another school, therefor just one thought - 'go fast regardless'.

£100 & 3 points

Up to £5k if it goes to court.

another normal day in LOS.

Micro soaker probably without brakes on the phone just normal ????

Just like the Thainess of the Government using water cannons to disperse peaceful protesters 

Happen every days in LOS...Just a Thai driver giving  a masterclass of ethics, and good manners to children in the society of the future. ????

Are YOU kidding me? If you dont see a flippin thing, then drive slower, and this would not be a problem at all, would it.

 

And btw, the sight was not a problem in this case. The video clearly shows that.

i thought it would be worse.  i mean, the driver is likely on facebook, drinking something, and the music is blasting.....and there are maybe 19888 people in the truck.  

 

yea, it was bad......but i thought it was going to be much worse.  

 

i mean....there is ANOTHER question we should be asking!!!!!    Kids and their mom shouldn't be in such a vehicle on the road, it's not gonna pass safety inspections.   

 

i've never soaked anyone.....so of course it can be avoided.  maybe i'm now numb to this stuff.

Pretty much expected.

Some roads got too many pot holes to avoid an incident as described. 

However everybody might try to foresee what could happen

Sadly, thousands of families can’t support to buy a safe vehicle... enough they can put some petrol to take their children to school. SAD

I didn't mean that comment in a rude manner at all. I'm just saying, sometimes it's not avoidable. Me personally, I always watch out for bikes, since I drive car and bike. Cheerio

whats with the dramatic music in the video ?

I would say MILLIONS.   Every day we see a family of 4 on a motorbike and they certainly cannot afford 4 helmets.   we see 2 year old kids on a bike, with their other kid holding 10 bags on the back.  it's crazy.

 

i gave a kid my bike helmet to wear, and their dad said (in Thai) is was bad.  she gave it back to me.

 

so i gave it to another kid at another time.  

 

the problem runs sooo deep.......needs to be real wages and then enforceable regulations.  300 baht a day wages is ridiculous........there is money.  anyhow.....

Are you real?

 

Are you really telling me he couldn't see or feel that he was going through water? Really?

 

If it is raining you slow down - Thais don't

A good lesson for the kids.

 

Work hard and buy a pickup. 

 

Probably the best thing they learned that day.
