The driver was identified as Yee Hoi Wong. The second vehicle was a white Mazda BT 50 pickup belonging to a 49-year-old driver, Jarapas Sirirak. The last car was a Honda Civic sedan with Panuwat Sirichai or “Meng Pakdam” identified as the driver and Tada Boonphan or “Est Romklao”. The two were well-known ex-convicts and Youtubers, according to the report. All victims sustained minor injuries. According to Panuwat’s statement, he was waiting for a green light at the intersection when he suddenly heard a car brake behind him and got crashed in the rear by a pickup behind him. When he exited the car, he saw that Yee Hoi Wong, whom he claimed seemed heavily drunk, was the one who caused the accident, crashing into two other vehicles.

The Hammer2021 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 A sedan?

But I watch American TV and read American literature and rarely see it used just as British people rarely talk about saloon cars especially in newspaper reports. It's silly, inappropriate terminology- it's overly formal as is a lot of language used by non native speakers. It just reads a bonkers to me and I read many international newspapers everyday and never see it used except here in the Thai carnage reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedan is an outdated Americanism and young reporters needs educations as to the appropriacy of language styles. Sedan adds nothing to the report and is rarely used in modern parlance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the term is also outdated and in reality rarely used being specifically an old marketing device to promote 'saloon' cars under another name. Unless the make and model of the car contributed to the accident the information is extraneous- the fact sedan is an early asian form of handheld transport is another issue. I find the use anomalous and a sure sign of odd non native speaker English. I did not know about 'rot geng' which I am going to use at the first suitable occasion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For examle: https://www.toyota.com/4-door-sedans/ Agreed, model has nothing to do with the crash, but the usage is fine and modern, at least in North American English.

Perhaps it's a Thaivisa admin/OP thing, just as they like to mockingly refer to the RTP as "the constabulary", a term that hasn't been in common use since the 1800s!

If a friend of mine was buying a car, I would ask if it was a sedan or wagon or, a sedan or ute or, a coupe or sedan.

Brock Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The term sedan is quite common in Australia, especially when a particular make of car had several versions. For example the XC Falcon came in a Sedan (4 door car) 2 door fast back (GT), The ute and the Panel Van... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
