Second big crash involving young kids and benz's. The last one in Bangkok after revising for a test at University, lack of sleep, maybe this could be a similar thing.

Can be also super speed , specially from Pattaya to Sathahip , passing the ambassador hotel , drivers can be totally crazy thinking they are doing formula 1 , can be also drunken driver , drugs etc ... everything is possible but in a country ranked No 6 in the world for the highest traffic accidents , nothing surprise me anymore.

Didn't they train you in your home country that a person is innocent until proven guilty?

Are you blaming faulty brakes, a stuck accelerator etc....? Driving too fast (as always) was probably the cause of the accident.

Every now and again I think about using my car after dark here, but thankfully common-sense always prevails.

I think there are a lot more accidents than what we see being reported. Within the last 16 hours I saw a car in the meridian between the two lanes of Highway 7. It appeared to have flipped several times and was upside down and was crumpled on every surface. The usual crowd of 30 or 40 ghouls were there. I'm just saying, the facts would be more alarming were all the wrecks reported rather than the spectacular ones.

the car is probably 30 years old?

Serviced a few decades ago?

Could be the brakes falling asleep after a busy night ?

They will arrest the engineer who is responsible for the " curve in the road",and his drunk tree?

Still 19 y is too young to go .

Young kids they do not understand speed probably 100% pissed, early house of the morning. I have seen them as I have driven along this road late night when going to the Beach View retsaurant and they fly past, no indicators used, I very rarely drive at night if I am going for a drink I never speed and I stay alert for these car speedsters and stay out of their way.

Note how police and rescue 'made their way to....'.

Almost every other reports I read reporting incidents have the the police 'rushing to'

Agreed. Unless it's a serious emergency I just don't drive after dark here.
