xtof2 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Yesterday morning, a speeding Honda Jazz tried to overtake a truck and encroached into the opposite lane in Thailand. The car almost hit an incoming motorcycle. The driver then lost control of the vehicle but managed to avoid a major accident. The 21-second video clip was posted by Facebook user Nopmetal Core. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaCDj0F8oN4 Edited January 22, 2015 by george added source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bocking Posted January 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sadly, I fear that upon seeing this video, the driver of the Jazz will be quite proud of him/herself. They'll probably see it as 'a demonstration of amazing skill' ''I'm not the best driver in the world' .... said no Thai ever 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blackfish64 Posted January 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yep, everyday life here on the Thai roads. No exceptions. It's all about me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. The land of the egotist, narcissist, and more me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Why? Well, because, me! Of course! What, are you stupid? Me!

smedly Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 because traffic law enforcement is near enough zero here, this crap will continue, as I mentioned on a recent motorbike thread - the biggest danger I see when out riding are cars that just pull out to overtake and expect everyone to move out of the way, I've even come round a bend and found a car and a bus on my side of the road - there is no way they could have seen round the corner - I have also seen some good driving here interesting list http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/782917-suspected-drunk-driver-in-fatal-road-crash-on-pattaya-beach/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/777579-8-turkish-tourists-rescued-from-sinking-speed-boat-in-pattaya-bay/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/777652-three-killed-30-injured-in-bus-pickup-crash-in-ayutthaya/#entry8691899http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/777671-another-no-barricades-railway-crossing-collision-leaves-two-dead-in-thai-south/?p=8692018#entry8692018http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/782704-bus-crash-kills-driver-injures-15-on-phetkasem-highway/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/784155-five-chinese-tourists-severely-injured-in-phang-nga-bus-accident/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/784139-russian-pedestrian-shot-by-police-as-they-chase-two-bag-snatchers-in-jomtien/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/784740-bus-crash-in-surat-thani-province-injures-21-people-three-seriously/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/784993-three-truck-pile-up-kills-driver;-43-hurt-in-bus-smash-in-thailand/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/786005-13-rescued-after-phuket-cruise-boat-hits-rock/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/786089-norwegian-tourist-fatally-injured-by-speed-boat-rotors-near-koh-tao/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/787240-one-child-dies-25-injured-in-school-bus-crash-in-chiang-rai/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/787670-indian-tourists-killed-in-van-crash-on-elevated-road-to-suvarnabhumi-airport/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/787882-tour-bus-crashes-in-phuket-10-hurt/http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/Three-Myanmar-killed-six-people-injured-in-van-cra-30251673.htmlhttp://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/792363-seven-people-killed-in-van-accident-in-songkhla/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/793620-cement-truck-rams-into-phuket-food-shops/http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/793933-thats-the-way-they-drive-here/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post barky Posted January 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2015 Its a terrible shame that the offending driver in the overtaking car was not killed. As a result, he/she will now have another chance to kill some other innocent person. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasswort Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 At least the white car was signaling its intention. Most drivers here (not only Thai)would make the manoeuvre without a signal.
