Never mind putting cones out ,the truck should've had many Flashing lights so the Racers could've seen the truck. Even if they weren't racing they most likely wouldn't have seen the truck. I didn't see any Flashing /working lights on the truck. but then I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i know the common rebuttal is something like “weren’t you that age too and did stupid stuff too?”… and I’d say absolutely I did … but only due to either sheer dumb luck or odds, i didn’t suffer like this… and for that I’m thankful… sadly these folks didn’t get so lucky. In this case, for me, the largest blessing here is that these bad decisions largely only impacted those who were direct participants and not totally innocent bystanders. Well said! RIP to those involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even driving is not advised let alone perform such tasks. when do you think most road markings/road resurfacing is done, when the roads are quiet or during daylight when the roads are busy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The authorities have to protect even the idiots as far as possible, and it’s just not done. How often do you drive along a major road and see workers collecting trash or clipping trees and bushes protected by one or no cones? They were putting out cones when the idiots came flying down the road at them. Unless you know the exact circumstances of this case (you don't) don't try to judge, you read like a barrack room lawyer anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the article to the end you will note that they were still in the process of putting out the cones. I am not aware of any cones which position themselves in the road when required.

Correct, I was involved in this job in the UK, in the UK on motorways, you're warned of lane closure 3miles back, traffic chicaned if needed, 50mph limit, unfortunately in Thailand you have very little warning, but still no excuse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 If the pickups were not racing, they likely would have seen the big truck in time. This accident was caused by the racers, and the crash was avoidable. Glad to hear the road workers were not injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinRacing Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The underlying issue is allowing modifications to vehicles. It has a psychological effect of imagining "I have a REAL racing car and I am a REAL racing driver". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
