webfact Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Angry Red Truck Driver Reverses Into Motorbike After Arguement by CityNews CityNews – A red truck reversed into a motorbike and sped off after an argument on the moat road after the red truck drove fast into the left lane, cutting off a number of motorbikes, almost crashing into a driver with a very young child. A video surfaced on the popular Facebook page “Anti Red Taxi Chiang Mai” of the latter part of an argument between a motorcycle driver and a red truck driver, catching the moment when the red truck driver purposefully reversed into the motorbike before speeding away.

Chicog Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It's good that he's felt the full force of the law (Bt1000 fine and two weeks renting his PoS truck to some other chimp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brer Fox Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 The driver/owner of the angry red truck should be hunted down for failing to control his truck. The angry truck should be drained of fuel and put on chocks for a month as penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alive Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 That's called a songtaew in pretty much ALL of Thailand. Do they call them red trucks in Chiangmai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Yes, in Thai, most use "rot daeng", though songtaew is understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It would poetic justice if a 10 wheel cement truck reversed over his red songtaew,with driver in the cab. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is often difficult being in the left of the left when it is a damaged surface or full of obstacles, rocks, flower pots, beer cans and bottles and parked cars. If your eyesight is so bad that you cannot see a motorcycle right in front of you then you shouldn't be driving. You'll be telling me that pedestrians aren't allowed to cross the road next. Cars do not own the road they are for the use of everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really! Where does it say that? Certainly not in the Land Traffic Act. Unless overridden by a local bye-law then nothing should drive in the 'safety zone'.

Alive Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'd call it a Songtaew or minibus and not mention the color. They don't headline stories in Bangkok "Angry Yellow Taxi Driver ... " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMKiwi Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I am not surprised by the antics or anger of some of the songthaew drivers as I have seen it too many times. About 3 weeks ago I had a very irate songthaew driver trying to force me off the road. Luckily I was in a car and not on my motorcycle. I can think of no reason why this bum was driving so erratically. It was on the road from airport plaza and goes the length of the moat. He was speeding up to get along side me and then turning his wheel as if to push me out of the lane, then he would lock up all 4 wheels making a hell of a noise. This occurred several times for the entire length of the road. Other drivers and bike riders were also looking at this D%$#head and giving him a wide berth. It wasnt until he turn off to Huay Keow road that I got any respite. Absolute madman. When on the motorbike I give all songthaews a wide berth and stay well clear of them.

amykat Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I especially love the drivers on highways who come barrelling out of nowhere at seemingly 100 mph, and then pass me like a race car driver, with a few mm to spare on the side, and on the front of my car ...letting me know that he would happily kill us both for the inconvenience of my existence on the road at that moment! That fills me a feeling of rage like no other ..seconds after I get over the shock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggles45 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 The extreme left of the road is a VERY dangerous place to ride a motorbike as Thais do not look right when they are turning left at at intersection. They will just turn left without looking and hit anyone who is n their way. Just watch them !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
