All those fancy Decals and 'Go Fast' Stripes don't prevent Drunken Idiots from wrapping them around Power Poles do they !

This happened in the dark, and from what I read, could have even been Friday night.

How can the police still only 'suspect' the driver was drunk? Or are they waiting for 'negotiations' to complete the breath test?

They drive these agricultural vehicles far too fast for their own (and the vehicle's) ability.

 

The manufacturers must take some responsibility too for marketing these vehicles as sports able with all the decals and advertising.

In the UK it's usually trees that jump in front of cars,  but in Thailand the trees are more sensible

Power poles are a favorite target of Thai drunks and now Koreans! Soon power poles in Thailand will be on the endangered species list.

Maybe they should hang old tires on power poles to protect them...

Quality pole. Thumbs up.

I'm surprised the power pole stayed upright, normally 1 tap and they come down like dominoes - insert smiley face
