From the dash cam ... never take eyes off the road

[KhunLA]

Just missed, along with police P/U that was on my right about to pass.  Not only did she barely get pass me, had to stop dead, as we passed her as she stood in the middle of road.  PoPo stopped down the road a bit, and we had a chuckle & a thump's up for my excellent driving.

 

This one scared me the most, as had little time to react.  Luckily not committed to passing truck yet, and slight tap on the brakes and moving over was just enough to avoid a head on.

 

This one is way too common, and actually expected, so easy to avoid.  Shoulder was a little thin though.

when i first started driving at the age of 16, my dad gave me an advise that i kept to this day, when driving look at the guy in front of you but always pay attention to the guy in front of him.

Its no wonder why so many get killed on Thailand roads each year, many of whom could be avoided had drivers pay proper attention while driving, but unfortunately they don't...

Slow down and keep a gap between you and the car in front. You will see much more what's going on around you and not just the back end of that car.

I think I would have said the same thing as you when that car came at me ????

I look in rear view mirrors around every 10 seconds.

A major problem with ash cams is they only look in one direction and you never get to see what happened BEFORE the vehicles come into view.
