islandguy Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Once drove down a dark road and passed a farmer holding a rope. The rope curved down and then up. Couldn't see the all black buffalo attached to the rope until I was even with them. Should require all buffalo on roads to have reflectors on their behind!!!!

Andre0720 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Speed did it.. Van at 60 km per hour, or less And buffalo at 2 km per hour, or more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 He couldn't brake in time, so he was driving too fast. Possible but also possible the kwai got spooked and ran into the road. Not as though a big black buffalo is simple to spot on a dark road. That the owner, of what for a Thai farmer is a very expensive beast was not found tells alot as to who felt liable imo. Doesn't matter, should still be able to stop in time. Doesn't matter, the owner is responsible for keeping his/her stock off the main roads, even at daytime. From what the Thais tell me, a buffalo owner would be legally responsible for any damages caused by his/her stock crossing a main road. True, that is what I said as well, the owner of the buffalo is liable. Does not mean the van was not speeding though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Phuket's great. It's not about an individual, or a company, taking responsibility, or the law, or justice, it's all about "who has to pay and how much." That's all. A country run on not much else but who has to pay baht and to whom. Always entertaining. Edited April 26, 2014 by NamKangMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be with pop rivets, self tapping screws or tack welding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucjoker Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Maybe the running buffalo was the driver ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucjoker Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Why did the buffalo cross the road? Because it wasn't chicken. Its pain and suffering though is no joke and I hope it manifests into a better life. yes ,he will come back as a taxi driver (with the same brain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have made the assertion that the driver was at fault because he was driving too fast,.....Were you there?? Do you know what the speed limit is for that stretch of road?? Please don't make silly statements like this unless you know all the facts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, please don't make silly statements, you could be terribly wrong. There are situations when it is impossible to stop in time. Consider if an animal suddenly runs across the road, another vehicle doesn't stop at a junction or somebody suddenly steps in front of you. If the kwai was stood in the road then yes the minibus was driving too fast. If, as reported it was running out into and across the road the driver has my sympathy.

booky Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) "Police called in a butcher to get an estimated price on the animal before putting it down and carving it for sale." Leaving an animal writhering around with a broken leg and other injuries and not as if they were waitng on a vet to determine it's fate.
