Still companies and drivers should be held responsible for brake failure. Its comes from lack of maintenance. 

 

 So it WAS brake failure then ? due to lack of maintenance.

I hope the investigations go further than the driver...

 

 

There was an accident in the UK where a tipper truck sped out of control down a hill due to brake failure, killing a four year old girl and 3 others. Last Thursday  "Haulage boss Matthew Gordon, 30, and mechanic Peter Wood, 55, were found guilty at Bristol Crown Court" and spent Christmas in jail awaiting sentencing, The driver of the truck was acquitted.

Another reason to only drive a car here, at least you'll get some protection from the roof. :ohmy:

 

the park was100% thai owned. why does that matter?

such a thai thing to do a runner now.

At the end of the day it is the fat <deleted> owners fault.he tells the driver to get out there or get another job.thai people who become enriched become a greedy horrible creature who treat people like <deleted>.i blame the company and its owner more than the driver.

Must of been horrific to come round and see your loved ones head on the floor...if the brakes failed why run?

"Driver failed to apply the brakes" is much more likely....

IT seems odd the article mentions "100 % thai owned" as if that matters somehow?   I feel that it implies that this poor guys life had more meaning than if he had a company that had partial foreign investment?  I cant see any other relevance.  The more I read TV and the news stories with this sort of things and the thugs smiling after beating a farang nearly to death the less I want to do more than a short visit in my future.

But those brakeparts from China are much cheaper sir! And thai engineer vely good, hab technical school.

 

I let the brakepads change on my motorcycle at a motorcycle shop, front wheel, and every time I used the brakes I got a screaming noise.

Went to the dealer and they changed the fake brake pads with the original Honda pads right away.

Buy only original parts from that time on.

Avoiding a gathering lynch mob would be reason enough for me to flee, not saying that is the case here though but it is common.

Lynch mob? How do you know this? Site a case here and then site a case in your home country.

I might add that in most civilized countries leaving the scene of an accident is a serious crime. Wake up Thailand; searching for the drivers takes up valuable police time.

Yup, and tell the "engineers" to ONLY touch the brakediscs with washed clean hands and after working on them clean the discs with brake-cleaner. I had them service my brakes and they didn't work AT ALL because they were so greasy...went back to the shop and they even didn't have brakecleaner in a spraycan. This is a very big Honda dealer, not some somchai around the corner.

Indeed i walk!

one very important part of the brakes is the foot that is supposed to hit it.

so in that respect one is allowed to talk about a brake failure......

Well typically they get caught so "avoiding responsibility" is short lived.

 

 

Time to get the drugs or booze booze out of his system, we read these stories on a darkly basis.

An acquaintance in the Phillipines told me it is common for drivers to flee, to avoid getting killed by a lynch mob...here, I tend to think the escape is to give time to sober up...

nice to here that !!

best to do your brakes yourself... and yes its best to handle the pads with those nitrile gloves and must clean the rotor metal with brake cleaner and even have the surfaces  machined if needed.

What are fake pads?   In the US we have many aftermarket choices for pads.  Original OEM pads are not used that much overhere.   Some are better wear than others.. Metalic, ceramic, etc.   I prefer best stopping power.   In the last couple decades it has become so cheap to buy new rotors or drums from china that many times you do that rather than turn your parts.  I prefer to turn mine as long as I can and then buy the best brand .
