darren84310 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 at least the driver hasn't done the usual runner but will he be held accountable- i doubt it. R.I.P. Why should the driver be held accountable?... What about the owner of the truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiguzzi Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 who said they were all Thai, these are sugar cane cutters, a lot of Burmese or Cambodian do this job in thailand The brakes didn't work. 12 Thais dead. Not in the NE along the Laos border. There are no Burmese up here. If migrant workers, they are Lao, down Ubon,Surin way, they may have Cambodians. Sugar Cane cutting is damn hard work, it also pays well, hence i would say the vast majority will be Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 ask the lawyer, yesterday, on TV: is it illegal to transport people in the back of truck/pickup. yes it is illegal... Illegal.........silly boy........this is Thailand. The brakes were to blame and the obligatory Buddhist amulet was obviously false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerIndoors Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 What is so upsetting for me is that these people would be poor, itinerant farm labourers just trying to get by and at the mercy of Thailand's sickening lack of oversight when it comes to vehicle safety and driver training. This makes me sad, sickened and very angry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko kok prong Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Sitting at the local market one day,a pickup with high rails along the tray pulled up full of farm labourers all standing packed like sardines in the back,including those inside,we counted 22 people who got off to buy food,imagine the carnage if this had rolled,i absolutley refuse to take anyone in the back of my pickup and have told my wife the same when she uses the car,as stated before it is illegal,but never enforced.

oldsailor35 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Brake fluid boils. You should do a little more research before posting. Air breaks have the same trouble but there is no break fluid to boil. maybe you should do a little researching, try air assisted hydraulic brakes, some countries use them, ,japan uses them, truck could have been jap import or just a very old truck Maybe you should do a little more reading before you post. There was an explation regarding "boiling brake fluid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudcrab Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Why is it always brake failure? Don't anyone in thailand check their brakes? Sent from my GT-I9200 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app nobody in Thailand has clue about pre and post trip inspections...... A set of perfectly functioning brakes can fail if the brakes are not used correctly. If the brakes are allowed to heat up excessively they can fail. Brakes work by converting (transferring) the kinetic energy of a vehicle into heat (energy) and so slow the vehicle. If the brakes become excessively hot the energy transfer diminishes to the point of non existence. A major issue for people who "ride" the brake for extended periods especially when going downhill. Google brake fade and you will see what I mean. Edited April 8, 2014 by Mudcrab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9200 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Ever heard of brake fade, Its when you over use your brakes, they get hot and don't work. But that's down to bad driving. Brake fade is caused by excessive use, Air is used to keep the breaks off, when no air or under pressure the brakes come on, causing the brakes to over heat, the result is Brake fade.

Tonawatchee Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) The lack of any government concern is revealed just by the name itself-Curve of One Hundred and Twelve Deaths. In the future, that name will probably continue to readjust itself in higher numbers as the current apathy prevails.

rosst Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Why is it always brake failure? Don't anyone in thailand check their brakes? Sent from my GT-I9200 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I dont think it is actually lack of maintenance that is the cause but more to do with driver education and they ride the brakes down hill instead of choosing a lower gear and letting the engine braking assist. Brake fluid then boils and viola..... no more brakes. R.I.P. Yes, and part of the reason is they do not change the brake fluid which is hygroscopic, it is the moisture that causes the boiling and loss of hydraulic pressure. Failure to change, plus topping up from opened container. Even these painful lessons are not learned. The biggest cause for concern is sharing the road with unsafe vehicles and drivers. As usual, we will never know the final outcome but we all suspect it will just go away with some cash to ease the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
