Cake Monster Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Every single day there are reports of passenger van accidents What I would like to know, is what happens to all these totaled vans ? and there must be hundreds of them ! Having lived in Thailand now for several years, I have yet to see a " scrap yard " where all these vans ( and other vehicles from all the accidents ) are pulverised and sold for scrap value. Surely all these wrecks are not ( made good ) and re-introduced back onto the roads ? or are they ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bheard Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The vans are getting plenty of stick, as they should. However, in this latest 'killing spree' (25 dead), half of those killed were in a pickup truck.Using the kneejerk logic on display, should we have a go at phasing out pickups as well?

I also have never seen a scrapyard of carcarcasses, i've seen places where they are sold in pieces to be used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ban them all - go back to bullock waggons and elephants - dramatically cut the road deaths. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
