Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2021 It is one of the miracles of the world how so many cars in Thailand crash into poles.

F1 tyres (slicks) don't have tread, that way there is more rubber in contact with the road. Thus drivers here are just emulating the driving techniques of that famous Thai Formula 1 multiple World champion ........whose name escapes me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaLa Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Other countries should look at this system of having speed arresters at the edge of the road every 100M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KannikaP Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 From the video, it looks like he was going down the inside (left hand) lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgw Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 why do so many posters fail to read the OP? the driver stated he fell asleep - the video would tend to support that statement, as it seems to me no brakes were applied and the car was going straight. awake, a driver in any state of intoxication (including none) would have tried to brake and to correct steering.
