Popular Post RichardColeman Posted March 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2022 Deny, deny , deny, at least I guess until they know you're lying ! According to Mr. Putsadee Kruesang, a 49-year-old pickup truck driver, who was unaware of the footage until it went viral on social media, claimed that he was only going to pick up his daughter before the teenage motorcyclist suddenly crashed into his car. The footage, however, appeared to show a different story as stated above. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post paul1804 Posted March 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2022 When will the Thailand department of Transport educate drivers that those lines painted on the road are there for a good reason but many Thais do not understand this!! Its not rocket science, that means that you indicate that you wish to change lanes and after a visual inspection and the way is clear you move into that lane. Thai drivers move and then sometimes look and wonder why they end up in a pile of <deleted> underneath another vehicle in the middle of the road!!! 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topt Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Must have been something in the air yesterday in Chonburi. Driving to and from golf I had several moments when pick ups coming towards me were well over the middle line for no reason. I even had one overtaking me on the 331, a 3 lane, who was still part of the way in my lane as he came up to me causing me to try and move left a bit just in case (I had a vehicle inside of me as well). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drivers in East Yorkshire in the UK are being trained to ignore the white lines on the road. The council have put cycle lanes on each side of the road and removed the white line in the middle of the road because the resulting width between the cycle lanes is too narrow for 2 vehicles travelling in opposite directions to pass. Hence drivers drive with their inside wheels in the cycle lane and ignore road markings completely. It's the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confuscious Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 "Chonburi police, as of now, proceeded to request the footage of the accident and questioned the injured for further investigation and legal charges." Here is the whole problem with Thai justice. If the pickup driver gets to buy the injured person (or his family) with some "hush money" there will never be any legal charges. In the mean time, the RTP can delay the case as long as they feel the need before going to the court. In most "civilised" countries, the case will be taken over immediatly from the police by a "Public Prosecutor" and will always and up in the Courts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul1804 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 This is just typical of many Thai drivers, he was probably on the phone!! I often follow vehicles that just wander from their lane across the white or yellow lines into the other lane and then back again. Once I tooted the horn at a Toyota van driver because he kept wandering into my lane, he chased me and flashed his lights for about the next 5kms! I wonder which planet he was from!!!

The way they drive, you are not part of his zone of responsibility, being behind him. They don't like being beeped at, I have stopped bothering apart from emergency.

Never, ever willing to concede that they are doing something idiotic or foolish while in control of a motor vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
