Smiley Face Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 That begs the question, how many Thai can you fit in a Honda Jazz? Obviously 2x many! I get the feeling that this headline is a bit exaggerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetley Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Maybe some of the 'many' were pedestrians on the footpath. Edited April 13, 2016 by apetley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yesterday, the first day of songkran I saw teenagers ripping around on motorbikes like there was no tomorrow...and for some there won't be. Some of these kids need a good throttling but when society says go out and have fun and go crazy...what do you expect a teenager to do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Many lives lost with a Honda jazz? maybe it was a clown's car... it would be funny if it wasn't so tragic..... no we can all see where those horrendous fatalities numbers in each Songkran comes from.....

The article in "Daily News" is speaking about 10 deaths. The Honda Jazz would have struck kids in the footpath before ending in the ditch.

chainarong Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Judging by the look of the wreckage, the Honda was doing a least 50 kph , what the Thai young and not so young fail to understand that the people left behind suffer, think, no-one wants to be at a Temple next Tuesday, you can have your fun , but not in a vehicle ,try a fun park or something, Think.......................................

sapson Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I like this country in so many ways..............but true to ranting old farts brigade on TV............... Why oh why the need for a photo of the partially clothed injured or dying on a trolley in the national press? Are Thais totally devoid of the concept of basic dignity and affording some common concern and respect to people who are at their lowest ebb and in an atrocious situation. Do they not understand or believe a news article without graphic photos? and do accident victims give up all basic human rights.? Sometimes the moronic ghoul element of society is astonishing along with their total hypocritical bleetings. Outrage at a freely given underboob selfie on Facebook..................but no problem showing photos of victims of carnage without their permission in the national press on a daily basis. Thainess .................don't you just adore it ? ok rant over, time for a chill pill. / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means different things to different people. Anytime before shopping malls open? Who knows. Condolences to family and friends of those killed. Hope those injured have a speedy and total recovery. Another sad incident NOT meaningfully addressed by authorities. Talk about drivers not learning - authorities are not learning either!

I get the feeling that this headline is a bit exaggerated. A long time ago in England I remember my wife being one of 8 crammed into one of the original Minis, after leaving a club after midnight. Mr plod was not impressed and made 4 get out of the car to wait for it to come back after delivering the others. It was mid winter and freezing cold.

No mention made of pedestrians involved. The accident was reported to the police at 03.47 so presumably happened shortly before then. For those that want to know. All involved were in the vehicle. They had folded down the rear seats and crammed into the rear seat/trunk space. Four of them died at the scene, our niece and grand niece included. One more died at the hospital. The police told my brother-in-law that the driver was not intoxicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt that much damage would be done at that speed. Perhaps even 80 kph (or 50 miles an hour) would cause that damage. I'm sure you meant to type 150 kph, (95 mph) didn't you?

Mister Fixit Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 So, apparently there were TEN crammed into a car meant for 4, maybe 5. And the driver wasn't intoxicated, but probably couldn't handle a car which would be so unstable with 10 people crammed into such a small space, who were probably wriggling around trying to find somewhere to park their backsides too.

SGD Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I am currently at a wat waiting for the bodies of my niece and her 11 year old daughter who were killed in this accident. The reporting is pretty spot on. The only shoddy thing are the stupid replies here. So 9 idiots get in a car with an even more stupid driver and endanger not only themselves but also all others who innocently happen to be in their path as they blast around the streets of Bangkok at illegal speeds (surely by the crash photos) and we commentators on the reported incident are the stupid ones ? I think not. I lost my other half to a drunken driver a long time ago who sadly did not kill himself. I hope in this incident the only dead and injured are those who stupidly set out on that path and that no bystanders are involved. Perhaps the families of those who sadly dies will not follow in their footsteps. However, knowing Thai ways, I sincerely doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
