edwinchester Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Truck driver needs to be jailed for ignoring a red light like that. Pickup driver needs to be told a simple look across the junction would have showed her the truck bearing down on her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmaxdan Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 This is why one should still always look when turning or proceeding on a green light. You should never, ever assume it is safe to proceed without checking first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post darksidedog Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 Back home that would be reckless driving by the lorry and driving with undue care and attention for the pick up. Green does not mean go. It means proceed with caution, a fact many in Thailand are blithely unaware of, and which would have saved the lady had she had the sense to check if her path was clear. Moron of the day award goes to the truck driver though, who really should get jail time for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The other lorry driver seen the lights and stopped correctly, the other crazy driver was going to fast to stop, he was one of those " I think I can make it ", traffic lights and railway crossings, no mention of "Brake failure", that might come later ???? regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that I'm referring to the pickup driver with the lights in her favour, not the driver of the truck careering through the red light, yes?

If you jail every Thai driver who jumps a red light then there would be virtually no one left on the roads. That would certainly help the accident level but make the prisons a little overcrowded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the driver in the pick up truck doing the u turn dies then you are wrong . I certainly hope she survives .
