zaphod reborn Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Makes me wonder whether the police test the brakes of these vehicles to verify the at-fault driver's excuse. Seem to be an awful lot of brake failures on commercial vehicles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just too many brake failures given as lame excuses. Maybe brakes failed because driver didn't know where that pedal was located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What's the Thai definition of a parked "coach?" One with the engine off I nearly said, but often the driver likes to sleep cool! As someone famously pointed out on this forum last year, "Thais don't ever park, they just stop driving." But it truly is the Hub of Brake Failures, no contesting that claim.

TomYumpoochai Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The brake failed to work statement should really be rephrased as' the brain failed to work' as its uusually the real reason most accidents happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Brake failure? Rubbish. Clearly, it was a short circuit...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn brakes, cause all the accidents! sounds like nobody would use your services....and if someone did, it would become your fault next time they rammed another vehicle while drunk or asleep had a brake failure.
