Yes 1 ton load by the rules (1.5 ton empty). Practically: load until you hear it grown. I always like best when they break in two. Funny. Also gladly taken: wheels breaking off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also weight limit is normally not reported on bridges in Thailand. So if you know your load is 3 metres high, get to bridge that says max height 2.5, what do you do? Close to where I live there is a 8 km stretch of road which say max weight 20 tons at each end. There are signs in the middle which say max 15 tons! 8 minutes ago, 2 is 1 said: Have you notice that they not put high limit on underpass here.

Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 Road sign at it's best. Some fresh paint or much better a sign on a pole might have helped? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fresh paint or much better a sign on a pole might have helped? It's a bit late when the max height is painted on the bridge. Needs a sign at least before the previous junction ie max 3 metres in say 5 km. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2long Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 Any TV members mentioning height or weight limit signs need to understand that the average driver of a REGULAR pick up doesn't have the training to look for such signs. And Google GPS doesn't ask you if you're overloaded to more than the maximum height. User error... not big news. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 It comes down to perhaps the single most significant weakness most Thai people have. The pathological fear of losing face. Who cares what people think of you? For those of us with high self esteem, it just does not matter. Sure, close friends and family. But strangers on the street? Who gives a **** about this? It means nothing what they think, nor what they say about you. Nothing, less than zero. They count for nothing. They are just people, and people you do not know, nor will ever see again. Face is rife with self doubt, and by subscribing to this weakness, and man or woman is made a far lesser person. I consider the practice of face to be the polar opposite of the practice of Buddhism, which teaches the need for introspection, contemplation, owning up to a problem, and taking responsibility for issues, problems and tragedies that you create in life. As many of us know, a percentage of the Thai population lives within fairly small boxes, of social convention, traditions and expectations. That is not a life that some of us choose. Those that are bold and courageous, will find a way to break past conventions, and live a fulfilling life, based on their own choices, independence, and esteem. So my message to this woman is this. Man up. Woman up! Admit you messed this one up badly. You dropped the ball. Not the GPS. You. Only you and your faulty eyeballs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 17 hours ago, johng said: Not the first by the look of the damage to the concrete I wonder if there is a height sign attached to that overpass ? easy to forget how high the load is. Especially when it's loaded that high. A height limit sign on!y works for those who know how high their vehicle is loaded and who actually remember... seen so many videos of vehicles taller than the gap between road and bridge... I recall seeing a sign somewhere, that said, if you cannot get under this sign, you cannot get under this next bridge. It also had an escape road off to one side, so overheight vehicles were detoured. Good idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wavel Posted July 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2021 So predictable, it was the GPS at fault. Not the fact that the driver had a overloaded truck. Difficult for Thai’s to take responsibility for their own actions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
