Bangkok Barry Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) See the same story every day. In Thailand, not only are roadside poles magnetic but lorries are invisible. Edit: Make that several times a day. Another report: A 16-year-old female driver has been pronounced dead at the scene after she crashed her motorbike into a trailer truck in Sri Racha.

473geo Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 One of the main dangers of over taking at speed on the inside, not suggested the case here, but its a dangerous manoeuvre where there could be parked vehicles or slow moving vehicles pulling out into the left lane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 what also doesnt help is when trucks park so that they are sticking out on the road(have seen then taking up half the lane) or in areas with no lighting, the ones that hit them are at fault but the way the trucks are parked doesnt help and would be illegal in most countries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a good driver should drive at a speed suitable for the conditions and a speed which will enable him to stop if he sees something ahead that is a hazard. Yes, the truck may have been poorly parked, but it is your responsibility to be able to control your vehicle to try and avoid such hazards. Bottom line here is the driver probably won't be driving again and he won't be able to forget he was responsible for someone's death. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
