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

Aussieroaming Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DoneTravelling Posted February 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2022 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, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 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… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
