whatawonderfulday Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 BIB will consider that it could not be a Thais fault as a foreigner was involved. In this case Chinese, so may well be confused driving on the other side of the rode. Case closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 A car from China? From the photo, the front passenger should be the one with serious injuries, and not the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passenger side looks almost demolished. Small wonder as that car tailing another would need to cross over the dividing line by half a car's width for the driver to see if it's clear to overtake.

They're not and they're only allowed as far as the province they enter, in this case it's usually Chiang Rai. That said while they completely disappeared after the initial change of rules (they use to be everywhere particularly around CNY...never forget the day I saw 3 drive the wrong way down Thaepae Gate Road) I've noticed a few more around CM lately, clearly the rule isn't being enforced.

connda Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Wonder who was on the wrong side of the road: The Chinese guy because he forgot to drive on the left, or the lorry driver because to Thai drivers the lines on the road don't mean anything.

IMA_FARANG Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I once heard a report on the BBC saying an Articulated Lorry had collided with a Goods Van and a Caravan at a Layby on a highway in the UK. Can some one translate that into English for this poor dumb Yank. Actually just a joke. for you Brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
