What is it that makes a four-lane road, separated by yellow lines in the centre "look like a one-way road" to you?

I'll assume that the guy thrown from his vehicle wasn't wearing a seatbelt. I can't understand why people should find wearing a seatbelt to be onerous or uncomfortable in modern vehicles. The old seatbelts without the retraction and tension control from the 60's or early 70's were a pain in the backside and not that comfortable but these days they are a pretty reasonable safety accessory.

Looks like a two-way road with yellow lines down the centre which should not be crossed...

problem is yellow lines mean diddly squat.

So 27 people die from covid in one day and the government declares an emerency. Upwards of 60 a day die on the roads and it's just news,

[cardinalblue]

Those were my thoughts also - the person in the wrong is the one who dies not the person who was following the rules of the road…

 

with head ons, there is a person at fault….the interview should only add to the facts…the evidence (point of impact) on the road should tell you exactly what happened…

 

Glad I minimize the amount of time I am on Thai roads…

It could be a one way road as the double yellow lines are widley spaced which s often the case if there in an central divide coming up.

Thats reminded me, a couple of years ago while sitting  outside  a minimart   watching the  workmen painting  lanes lines  on the road ,  the Thai owner said   "its good the local government like to make  the roads look pretty !!!
