KhunBENQ Posted Friday at 05:28 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:28 AM I think staring at the mobile is a major reason for many of these accidents. I always wonder how the delivery guys on motorbike survive while always staring at their mobile during the ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Op photo is accurate the trailer is illegally parked, half into the nearside lane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almer Posted Friday at 07:28 AM Share Posted Friday at 07:28 AM Perhaps as ps the truck driver c oils explAin the reason for parking on the carriageway in the hours of darkness and whether he had lights on it not, then through the kitchen sink at the tool.

I thought it was illegal for vehicles to park on the side of the road like this... don't they need to exit the highway to a safer area to rest ?... So many similar incidents. I don't know if Thai's have an affinity for hitting stationary objects and vehicles, or if there are simply a lot more of them on the roads in the first place to be hit.... In the photo, it also appears that due to its width the lorry was parked 'partially' into the first lane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAWN... Double yawn... You destroy every thread with your pedanticism.... Just get on with the topic instead of nitpicking holes in peoples comments.... Whether the comment was irony, or sarcasm is completely irrelevant to the topic... Yet your pathetic weaslly nit-picking brings an unnecessary toxicity to so many threads... As just mentioned in another thread - have you any interest in the topic itself, or do you just troll through topics looking for an error to pick-apart ??? - question is rhetorical - we know the answer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw late sunrise down south at 6:15. Happened at 5:40. Total darkness? Not really. Up here it's lit up at this time. Adding to that the road has lights. The truck is parked half into the left lane, half on the edge. Road is wide and it needs a good sleep to bang into.
