Popular Post Hamus Yaigh Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 "driver blames wet road and says wasn’t his fault" If the reporting is true, block this idiot from ever driving again.

Popular Post BangkokReady Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 Quote Pickup truck overturns, driver blames wet road Either it's the driver's fault, or he is too visually impaired to be driving and therefore it is his fault. It's his fault. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The authorities should dispatch special vehicles to dry our roads. Actually, better still, they should have all roads covered by awnings to protect our roads from the rain. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jerno Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 Yes, wet roads are such a rare occurrence in Thailand that this driver couldn't possibly be prepared for the humongous risk od driving and not having super-human driving skills needed.

mikebell Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Blaming the roads saves lazy police doing paperwork. There's never a prosecution for driving too fast and without due care and attention. As an alert earlier poster pointed out, all our Insurance premiums go towards subsidising twonks like these.

Wet roads! ....oh the horror! Of course it is not his fault, his vehicle itself went too fast and maybe put the brake on by itself leading to a skid and then the lampost ran in front of his vehicle, and of course being a vehicle it could not see that the road was wet, naughty naughty vehicle. Go change your oil. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter zwart Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Goooooood. Another pick up (from probably a nuthead) from the road. Keep it going guys. The less of those things, that are used as a F1 car, the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 If it were a hot, dry day it would have been the heat of the asphalt, everybody knows your tires stick to the road when too hot.

JulesMad Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 It is ALWAYS someone/something else's fault; the driver will NEVER take responsibility for his OWN actions in traffic (or life). ALWAYS blame: - wet road - rain - brakes - other people - telephone - falling asleep - anything you want as long it is not driver self! Drive/Ride safely and be watchful of the idiots (they are everywhere!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
