Video: Six car collision after man goes to direct traffic in the middle of the road

[webfact]

 

Channel 7 TV reported after a post of a video on Facebook showed a six vehicle collision in Ang Thong, central Thailand.

 

Trouble started when a man went in the middle of the road to direct another vehicle that was reversing out. 

 

The resulting confusion and uncertainty led to one vehicle rear ending another.

 

Fortunately no one was hurt but six vehicles were damaged on the Phophraya - Tha Rua Road.

The idiot should wave a red flag .

[Pilotman]

haha love it.  Todays laugh. ????

Break failure!!

[ALLSEEINGEYE]

idiots driving too fast and tailgating!! can't even blame the guy trying to direct traffic. leave enough room between vehicles to react to unexpected situations. The guy in the last pickup was especially driving reckless. No one else to blame but himself. But that's not Thai style to assume responsibility for your own mistakes.

Pick-up driver needs a few lessons on looking out the windscreen

[Thomastm]

Thai drivers never expect to have a reaction time to things like this the way they drive... Tailgating and swerving through traffic lol. This video is no surprise.

[Gandtee]

This sums up Thai driving skills nicely.????

Driving without Due Care & Attention in UK, ahh but in Thailand not think too mush

[Geordieabroad]

Nothing to do with a man directing traffic, if you run into the car in front it's because you weren't paying attention

Looks like the first five vehicles stopped safely then the 6th rammed into the back of the 5th at speed and caused all of them to shunt into the vehicle in front

[JetsetBkk]

Aah! Now I know why they have that reaction test when renewing a driving license.

 

There really are people who fail it.

 

[tifino]

would have sealed it - to have the video actually show what sort of vehicle was being guided out?

   Really wide 2 lanes and verge...

must been a B Double by the amount of  road the man trying to commandeer

The first sleepy idiot that actually bumped the car in front was that white "SUV".

Not that hard like the complete idiot pickup but still...

The black one was very close but would likely have come to a stop.
