First off I would like to say I hope both the father and the child recover from this accident quickly.

Having said that if the people were taught about distance and road conditions it is very possible such an accident would never have taken place.

Blame the rainy weather again, it's the drivers responsibility to adapt to the prevailing conditions!!

 

I know, i know....

Lets have all traffic stop when it starts raining.

What is it with the Thai population who seem to lack any ability to accept responsibility ???

 

The media perpetuates this idea of ‘Thai’s cannot be at fault’... ‘its always the fault of something else’...

 

This juvenile attitude and the inability to accept responsibility and face accountability that people deliberately ignore and avoid the concept of consequence and blame everything else but themselves. 

 

Clearly... the person driving was at fault... to blame the rain highlights the moronically juvenile mentalities of both those reporting and the driver. 

 

 

Do we ever hear or read..... "I screwed up, I was driving too fast for the conditions"....  ???

the rain failed to adapt to the driver

Better to have everyone trained so they can drive safely in such conditions

Either someone was going very fast.

 

 

Or it was raining kryptonite. 

[huangnon]

^Or large meteorites.

I see it every time it rains.  Motorbikes going as fast or faster than usual (which is always too fast anyway).  Cars and trucks still tailgating.  It seems there is no common sense here when there is a need to adapt to road conditions.  Distances between vehicles should be increased 2-3 times or more than normal under adverse weather conditions.

I've been here 26 years and have only once - once - seen a Thai take responsibility, when his dog ran out and bit me and the owner took me to a clinic for the necessary and then paid the bill. Once. 26 years.

Where I grew up, in the UK, most kids learn long before they reach the age of 10 or so to own up to something they've done. In Thailand they go to the grave (or incinerator) denying everything.

In this case, to do that much damage, he was clearly driving too fast. And with his kid in the front seat too. They just don't have a clue and, what is worse, they don't want to learn.

There is no common sense, period. About anything. I don't know how that situation has developed - maybe kids not being allowed to think for themselves at school - but I've yet to detect any common sense here. A recent example was my wife wanting to give some eye drops to our dog who had a problem. She thought it was okay to use our eyedrops as the dog eats the same food as us. I Googled and found the dog could have been blinded. And she isn't stupid - she has two degrees. But .....

They don't need to learn, their amulet will protect them, except in this case the amulet must have forgot it's responsibilities.

Still wouldn't matter a lot to Thai males.

And the the father learns a valuable lesson....

[MJCM]

I hope they are both oke, but to blame this on the rain.

 

More likely a heavy right foot or/and not keeping enough distance from the car/truck in front!

In the rain he struggled to see the car in front, so needed to get closer.

A national trait.

 

They will also blame others and stab you in the back if it makes them look good.

It might do if the penalties were of significance and not just a few hundred Baht
