spidermike007 63835 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Garbage trucks share one thing in common with electric poles and large trees. They are not flexible and do not yield to drivers who are not paying attention, and demonstrating good survival skills. This is why we must avoid crashing into them. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it might be safer to drive a garbage truck instead of any other vehicle in Thailand. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concrete trucks have a good rep in one-on-one confrontations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
