When the road is slippery .......and there are beautiful and huge road marks with a " 60 k/h max when road is  slippery ", but it's not for them ..

 

Especially P/U trucks. The total lack of any weight on the rear axel makes them extra safe on wet roads. 

 

1991 Nissan Figaro.

 

Based on the Nissan March platform, the Figaro uses a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine generating 76 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque through a three-speed automatic transmission, front McPherson struts, rear four-link coil spring suspension; rack and pinion steering, front ventilated disc and rear drum brakes.^[5] Weight saving front fenders are thermoplastic resin.^[5]

Standard equipment included ivory leather seats with contrasting piping, air conditioning, CD player, chrome and Bakelite-styleknobs, soft-feel paint on the dashboard top, chrome-trimmed speedometer with smaller inset gauges for fuel and engine temperature; and chrome-trimmed tachometer with inset clock.^[5] The four available exterior paint colors represent the four seasons: Topaz Mist (Autumn), Emerald Green (Spring), Pale Aqua (Summer) and Lapis Grey (Winter).^[5]

8000 were originally manufactured with an additional 12,000 subsequently manufactured to meet demand. Prospective purchasers entered a lottery to purchase a Figaro. Limited edition cars came with passenger side baskets and cup holders.

Two different photo with the same vehicle;

first one is a high key 

 

 

Second  is a normal photo

 

This contraption is a sugar cane grab.

The second photo is a  cane harvester, about 3 million baht to you sir, second hand.

Still, on a farming subject, a load of sugar cane park up waiting to tip, at our local mill, about 15 ton of cane, 5 ton of trailer , pulled by a 25-year-old tractor. 

Mean while,at our local town ,where pick ups rule OK ,this rolled up a Chevy R5 ,rather nice .

Actually most  trailers do have brakes, they are hydraulic, linked to the original trailer brakes, worked by the tractor hydraulics via a spool valve, the  hydraulic lever on the tractor is lifted, by hand so applying the trailer brakes, as luck would have it we have no big hill in this area ,so no runaway tractor and trailers .

Have seen a few tip over, with this high load on the center of gravity is raised, and on a bad slop .over she goes.  

 , sorry, I can not stop myself ;

You have never seen how thai people make " home made " trailors for pickups or farm vehicles .;

I shall shoot some new trailors and you will see they don't have brakes  nor lights .
