The U-turn near Ban Pa Hiang is known to be a high-risk area, raising concerns about road safety and the need for preventive measures to avoid further incidents.

The grey Toyota pulled out into the intersection making itself a target. The pickup driver didn’t have enough time to react probably because of speed, that’s how it appears anyway

I know I will never know the answer to this but I would love to know what was going on in the head of the driver of grey Toyota as he crept across a major highway into the path of a speeding pick-up.

 

Poor eyesight? Blinded by the sun? Just glanced? Misjudged the speed of the pick-up? Distracted? Drunk? No sleep? Assumed nothing was coming? 

 

What was the decision-making process?
