Yea. i Knew a kid that just turned 18 at the time. Many years ago. Was going out with his mate on his new Honda Wave. Sad to say it was his last birthday. Was a good kid. Such a waste.

I'm surprised this one hasn't made news yet:

 

Thailand needs a vaccine against crazy driving.

Oh, that nasty power pole fetish again.

Lock down the roads. Close the petrol stations. Ban new drivers. Shut down the whole system. It's an epidemic of death on Thai roads. No vaccine for inept drivers and a clueless government which is helpless to stem the carnage on Thai roads.

I am sure it was a brake failure

 

No doubt driving his agricultural vehicle like a sports car.

 

RIP to the deceased.

The government should mandate all pickups to be constructed from aluminum to defeat the electromagnetic effect of these dangerous power poles.....????

RIP to the driver. I think the seriously injured passenger has a lot more trouble in future times.
