It's only a news report written by someone who may not have been there, or who got the information from another party. I don't believe everything I read, particularly on TVF.

'Huay Yai police stated that no legal charges would be filed in the incident.'  Do we know who the driver's father is?

The car hit the guardrail post.

It happened on a bend (see the linked article). Which explains everything. Bends are hard when you don't know how to drive properly.

the driver's excuse probably went along the lines of "it wasn't my fault, it was the roads fault due to the sharp bend".

I don't know if you have driven on that relatively new stretch of 7 motorway at Huay Yai.........but there are not many bends that I can recall.

 

 

Correction (having read the article) - that is not a bend, it is the exit road

You could always read the link and see just what he actually said...

“I was heading to Sattahip with my girlfriend. I lost control of my vehicle before crashing into the guardrail".

I don't know if you're really unable to see the obvious bends in the photos of the accident but it seems that you are.  The purpose of the road is irrelevant, it's a bend.

Okay, if you don't see the exit road is a bend then we'll have to disagree on that. The car crashed on a bend, exit road or not.

So you don't know the difference between a curved slip road and a normal bend in the road.

Even a Thai driver should have the wit to slow down on a motorway slip road that is flanked by metal barriers.

 

A bend in the road is perhaps more excusable.
