You must be an idiot if you think I changed the sense of what he was saying. It's woolly thinking like that that has this forum clogged up with too much quoting.

Any minute now a mod will come along and delete all this off topic idiocy....and rightly so.

Constant use of the brakes when going down hill can lead to Brake Fade (No Brake) in europe mountain roads have run off areas (a sand or gravel pit) in the event of brake fade.Nearly all buses and lorries are fitted with aTelma braking system to illiminate brake fade.

Do you really think the trucks or buses in Thailand have a retarder brake? Do you have any idea how many headlights you can buy for the cost of a retarder brake?

What,no ghetto blasters on the outside playing music loud enough to shatter the shop windows as they drive past?

Is this news? It's just another almost daily occurance here. Another part of the Disneyland.

The trouble is Thai drivers do not know how to use the gears to slow

down, going down mountain roads in 4th gear ,braking to slow down,

then when they really need the brakes,they are too hot and brake fade

occurs,resulting in deaths.

Most have Brain fade, that's only when scans reveal one exists.

Again?

Must be Thai culture.

What they left SOME of the windscreen to see through. ????

Speedy recovery to all. Buses should have limiters like they do in Europe and no driver could even try to pass.

The football club has said it would cover all the medical bills.

A nice gestire from the club, or Newin to be precise, but id love to know the real wealth of Newin Chidchob. From paying ex Arsenal players £500k a year, to building F1 tracks and Football Stadiums, he seems to be incredibly wealthy yet never appears on any rich list!?

The mods have recently added an interpretation to this rule: no partial quoting. I've gotten in trouble twice for this although I did not alter the meaning of the post.

Be careful!

Sad. But Songkhran has not started today...

Any of you seen the video on the facebook page 'dangerous driving in thailand'?...the poor souls in the minivan crash..the van hit the trailer so hard it snapped the pivot-pin on the turntable!!

Took a VIP night bus Bangkok to Surin one time and never never again. I almost shit my pants and buried my nails in the arm rest. I took the train or plane after that.

These buses are too tall. The drivers are not properly trained. The buses are not maintained enough. Other road users don't give a <deleted>. They know how to rectify the issue but just stand there looking gormless. If anything this advertises to tourists not to get on these diddy buses.

Another fine example of Thai intelligent driving and overtaking just wait behind for a little while there will be a nice clear road ahead then pass if not just go anyway I have a bigger vehicle than you, it’s either that little vehicle crushed or a tree easy decision, I am a professional bus driver I know best.

I won't ride in a bus or mini van. That leaves a seat open for those with a death wish.

There is no way that you will get me on a bus in Thailand.

Some people don't have a choice

There is ALWAYS a choice. It just depends on how much value you put on your life.
