webfact Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 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.

asiasurfer Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 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.

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.

Ventenio Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAD 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.....
