uthaithanirules Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Unless he was doing ridiculous speed, which he probably was Its a little disconcerting, thought the cabin on one of those things would hold up better Not a vigo, but the wife has a toyota very similar to that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRIGHTNING looked to me they had already been celebrating. wife thinks this might have been a different one.

NongKhaiKid Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I know it's a case of giving a dog a bad name but look at the ages of those involved, 13 - 24, and it's hard to believe the driver was carefully obeying all the traffic laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackstask Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) If the driver survives, he will have those deaths on his hands. Pick-up drivers with passengers in the back, irresponsible, low educated idiots. Songkran or no Songkran, its asking for trouble.

SABloke Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Every time I see kids in the ben of a pick up it gets me mad, this country simply does not care about life !!! Of course people care: My brother in law asks his spoilt brat to ''sit nicely'' when the car is moving. I said, ''Let him stand and bounce around, if we crash he goes flying anyway since he's not wearing a seatbelt'' Angry silence followed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudcrab Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It is illegal to carry people in the back of a pick up in Thailand. Same as it is illegal to not wear a helmet when riding a motorbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Pickup trucks may have macho appeal but their high centre of gravity is their undoing when driven at speed as is apparent when these tragic accidents occur with monotonous frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not illegal to carry people in the back. Well, according to the TV lawyer, it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have seen many car accidents in my life, cars pancaked flat, engines pushed all the way back into the trunk, etc., but never have I heard of so many flips and rolls as I have in Thailand. I can imagine some taller SUVs with shorter wheel bases being a bit prone to flipping and rolling, but I didn't think so many modern cars were prone to rolling, or are they? Or are these high speed cornering accidents that maybe involve striking small undersized jersey barriers that get under the car and help give it a lift up?

Don't know for sure Fatdog but this could be referring to the accident that occurred on the same road last year where the bus went over the canyon. I will get my wife to confirm. It doesn't look that serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
