worgeordie Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Do trucks here have Tachographs , we had them donkeys years ago, maybe something more modern now , but it recorded your driving hours, mandatory rest period , speed etc, they were checked regularly by authorities , "Koh Chan police initially took pictures of the accident scene as evidence to possibly press legal action against the driver because a sign pole, which was state property, was damaged." Not a lot about the driver ,only he may have fallen asleep , but he's in a lot of trouble if he has to pay for the sign......???? regards Worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we know nobody else gives a ****. Indeed why should they? "Just another day on Thai roads.........who gives a ****?" is entirely the appropriate attitude to take.

RichardColeman Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Koh Chan police initially took pictures of the accident scene as evidence to possibly press legal action against the driver because a sign pole, which was state property, was damaged. Seriously ? More interested in pressing charges for the state pole than the critically injured innocents ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 2long Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 I know a pickup truck can be called a truck, but this headline is a bit misleading (at least to me) because I presumed it was a larger vehicle with maybe more than four wheels. It looks like this was just a Mitsubishi Triton pickup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No collateral damage except the signpost...and the police need their pound of flesh for their inconvenience ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
