webfact Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Video: Why dash cam evidence can help get to the truth Picture: Thairath CHONBURI: -- A video doing the rounds of Thai social media shows an accident involving a BMW i8 that collides with a C-Class Mercedes Benz on a Chonburi Road on Tuesday. The driver of the BMW had claimed that the Mercedes Benz driver had cut in front of him resulting in the collision. That was before a video was produced as evidence. Dash cam footage from a vehicle that was not involved seemed to indicate that the Mercedes Benz driver may have been innocent after all. Thai Rath online invited its readers to give their opinion.

ezflip Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) That's what I call pretty damning evidence against the BMW driver. The dashcam shows the speed of 109km/h and the BMW zooms past it. Another case of 'I am richer then you!' syndrome.

DLang Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Do him for false statement too. Oh right, he's richer than everyone else and can cause big problems for them. 500b fine for speeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 "so I can't just drive through the car in front of me?" notice as the car enters frame it is drifting slightly to the right, and then makes a unnecessary lane change to the left, then brakes with plenty on time to go back to the right lane which is wide open. Drunk, texting, getting a BJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daylight, motorway/divided highway, great visibility, dry as bone, Mercedes driving in a straight line at 108 kph in its own lane. Conditions could hardly be more perfect. And then having the audacity to claim that the Mercedes cut in front of him (BMW)! - was this blatant lie partly the Roads Dept's fault too? Everyone should take personal responsibility.

USPatriot Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) How is it the fault of the Mercedes you can not control somm one that is behind you. The police should see rear end damage and figured it out. I'm sure the do you know who I am routine came out of the drivers mouth Edited January 20, 2017 by USPatriot Spell check changed words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm just wondering whether the BMW may have been employing Adaptive Cruise Control, plus Lane Assist. With feet off the pedals and hands off the steering wheel one can travel quite some distance on "Auto pilot" - until something goes wrong, of course (such as, Lane Assist gets confused). Anyway, now that the BMW driver has been proven to be a lying B**tard, I hope they throw the book at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
