kannot Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The concrete driver was back at work 5 minutes later driving in the same idiotic way but with a new amulet to add to his collections of "dumbass " trinklets swinging from his neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortenaa Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I guess the sement truck driver mistaked his car for being a sports car with carbon brakes, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MockingJay Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) That man is one lucky bastard Other people get killed by changing a light bulb, or drown in a 2 inch puddle of water, and this guy walks unharmed from such a crash... unbelievable...

Bluespunk Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) That picture should be used by TAT to promote tourism and safety on the roads.

JAG Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Bit of quick panel work and it should be on the road again very shortly.You may be joking ( I assume! ) but I pass a body repair yard most days, and I am constantly amazed at some of the repairs they manage Wrecks that in the west would be scrapped reappear looking as good as new.How well they go round corners after they are put back on the road, well I don't know.

bino Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Very lucky escape from death for the driver. Cement trucks in Bangkok scare the hell out of me. Not just because they are the heaviest vehicle on the road, but also because every single one I have seen has tires worn down to expose the belts. If the tires are in such bad condition, one can only guess what the brakes are like. I always give them a wide berth and stay away from them on the road.
