crazygreg44 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 WOW this is absolutely amazing. I am still wondering how this accident went from the beginning stage to the end. The pickup on top of the totally wrecked car seems to have been left unspoiled. I am trying all my imagination to glue the action togehter piece by piece. AMAZING THAILAND. It was the country's BEST Tourist motto ever, and still is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 This is why I drive a full-sized Ford F150 4x4 and not a motorized roller skate. That little car did pretty well at keeping the passenger compartment intact, but he still wound up wearing that pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amse Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I see motorist running red lights everytime I drive my car, and many motorcyclist don't stop or slow down one bit. My average speed is from 40 to 50 and I drive in the slow lane most of the time. Why oh why do so many Thai's actually think the Buddha will protect them no matter how much they are a danger to other drivers and they drive as if they're the only ones on the road. I have been passed many times by high speed drivers, only to pull up beside them at the next red light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
