He was arrested and taken away for prosecution. Seem to be hearing about more driving arrests these days which may suggest that police are finally starting to do their job. Probably going too fast or saw the red light too late to stop. Hope the authorities investigate properly and prosecute accordingly. RIP the road worker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swm59nj Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Thailand seems to have a lot of brake failure accidents. Must be cultural thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TigerandDog Posted October 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2022 saw the video of the accident on teh news last night. No way he applied the brakes, in fact he tried to change lanes while he was accelerating so he had no intention of attempting to stop. I even said to the missus when watching the video I bet he tries to say his brakes failed. She agreed 100%. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyJ Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Even if there is an extremely rare instance where the brakes are at fault, whose fault is it? The vehicle owner is responsible for replacing brake shoes in a timely manner, and for other basic maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are arriving after the fact. Where are they to check for driving misdemeanors tand prevent accidents? How often are public service and good vehicles checked for road worthiness?
