About time this sort of thing invalidated insurance for all drivers and the companies employing them - except for victim claims. Meaning the victims get a payout but the driver and company pays for their own repairs and a 100% increase in next years insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Paul KNIGHT Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 You can change the laws to improve Road Safety and drivers obedience, BUT you cannot tell stupid people how to drive as here, they think they know it all !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Give it another two weeks, and this accident will be eclipsed by the number of deaths over Christmas and the New Year. Same same. Nothing changes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the many Thai's that i know that drive, "not one" of them admits to having any insurance, and some, no road tax, means no compusory insurance too ... when i ask them what you will do if u cause an accident, they agreed on a popular answer that was Plead....... " no have money ......" to the victim, and to the courts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltannyc Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 A little nitpicking: the above events are not accidents but incidents. While accidents are always unintended, unexpected, or unplanned events with negative consequences, it is assumed that no one is at fault. The event was completely unforeseeable and unpreventable. In a similar context, an incident is always unwanted and unplanned and has negative consequences; however, it happens due to carelessness, bad judgment, and not following rules and regulations, and in fact, these incidents are foreseeable and preventable.
