jacko45k Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 minivan drivers, what could you possibly say thats not already known Yes, they drive too fast and recklessly. Add that to a large coach making a U-Turn likely blocking the overtaking lane and limited lighting. It is hard to make U-Turns on Sukhumvit in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asiantravel Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I would be interested to know if the minivan driver was using his mobile phone at the time of this incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExPratt Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Those U turn areas send shivers down my spine every time I pass them. Ridiculous thing to have in this day and age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepattaya1961 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's a bit of a guess, but those coaches seldom use the orignal exit-lane of a U-turn otherwise they won't be able to make the U-turn in one move.Probably the coach used the right "through traffic" lane and that was misjudged by the minivan driver. However, it happened again......a minivan in a major-crash and what I guess could also be guessed by the minivan driver....I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
