It is difficult to see what is in front of you when you are pie-eyed after an all night session, going at 110 km/h or looking at your smartphone or indeed all three simultaneously.

3 o'clock in the morning about a year ago two of my friends smacked their pickup in to the back of a parked ice delivery truck and it basically just flattened the pickup. They where going home after a nights partying (Carabao concert and after party) and was doing over 120Km/h true a small city as they should be at work in the morning. Both of them had their doctors degrees, one worked as vice director and the other as head of department...
my conclusion is that many people don't get smarter with age and education!

I wonder if the truck was parked up with no lights on? OK, maybe the boy was going too fast. Didn't we all do that as youngsters? I've had a couple of scares with Buffalo sleeping on the road in Brunei and elephants in Thailand. Neither with lights.

No helmet was injured during this incident.

Helmets did not become compulsory in the UK until 1973 and many bikers did not wear one one for some time after that. Yes, I know it is good sense to wear a helmet but kids will still flout the law, especially in Thailand where it is not enforced. Have some compassion for this boy.

Normally when parking a Truck/Trailer on a Highway when it is Dark it is the norm to have Parking lights on ,common sense and Law in many Countries.

No mention if parking lights on or off ?

The PhD has no meaning in this instance, as they had probably failed Physics but still got advanced through the 'No-Fail' education policy...
