cardinalblue Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Maybe he shouldn’t drive through a fire burning on both sides of the road… driving side to side generates more wind whipping the flames to other bales….brilliant maybe next time he gets an upgrade to a gas tanker….

AustinRacing Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Typical Thai driver mentality. Sees flame on the back of his truck, his first reaction is to continue to drive and maneuver side to side trying to dislodge it. Who cares about the danger to other motorists. The thought of immediately pulling over and attempting to address it as safe as possible never entered his mind. Land of the knee jerk reactions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskerDo2 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The truck is totally destroyed yet the first photo shows a great deal of straw that has been untouched. What are the odds of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 My first thought was another smoker sets fire to the truck he is driving with his careless habit of tossing his butts out the window. I wonder what he told his boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee4Life Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 17 hours ago, hotchilli said: So the truck carries no extinguisher itself then? what kind of fire extinguisher could put out a truckload of burning straw? I drove Tow trucks for most of my life, fires are hard to put out, especially vehicle fires. Most of the time people would use up several fire extinguishers and the vehicle would still be a complete loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
