wxpwzrd Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Actively braking just before he pulls the typical stupid move here? Doubt he fell asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebluewater Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Fell asleep? Not a chance. The driver of the pickup took a stupid risk on a busy two lane road and now he, his wife, and his son are dead. He had onboard the most precious cargo that one can have and he did not take care.

newcomer71 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Living in a village just on a two lane road I see this stupidity EVERY SINGLE DAY, and once a month there is a big accident exactly like this. In the last 3 months 2 trucks overtaking on a busy lane did crash on oncoming cars, with deadly results. Never mind safety, they have to show how superior they are with their nice collection of amulets making them invincible... not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Had to be drunk, He had clear view of the oncoming truck for about four seconds but failed to react except a very last microsecond turn to the left. No braking at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomthai Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 And it looks as though the camera car doesn't even stop, just squeezes on past the inside of the wreckage and pulls out as if to continue journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LannaGuy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 They sure do have a great belief in reincarnation I see stupid driving daily and you have to have two pairs of eyes and assume they are all stupid (which is often the case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is certainly seems after watching countless videos of crashes the thing to do if you witness a crash is drive away. There has always been talk if a farang stops at a crash they will be blamed and forced to pay millions of baht, but all the videos I have watched involve Thais driving away. I should say I have witnessed a few bad accidents in Thailand and no one has blamed me or asked me for money, maybe people just don't like to see a wounded person or maybe they are just in a rush to get home.

A dash cam can solve the problem of who caused it. But if you do stop to assist someone, and they die. Then that can be a problem. I think that's why a lot don't get involved too. And panic about spirits rising from the dead. They just keep away and look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksidedog Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I am shocked that he could be so stupid. You can clearly see the truck coming, but he does nothing to try to avoid this. Probably paying too much attention to the statues on his dashoard to watch the bloody road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Best not to stop and get involved especially if you were not involved. The police may charge you and lock you up (that's not nice) with real criminals (even not nicer) and then set a nice 6-figure bail amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
