Oishii Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 And the law says: the load should not extend further than the front of the behicle, nor more than 2 meters past the rear of the vehicle. Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha Sure the law did says! But a lot did not follow the law and this is why Thailand have so many accidents everyday. Drivers driving in Thailand normally don't care and just drive the way they like or happy. Human learn from mistakes but some human always repeated the same mistakes in this land.

Deep Breath and a Smile..... A few years ago the highway department wanted to pass a more stronger law fining the "owners" of the companies of overloaded trucks which would have taken the fines being oaid directly to the Highway Department.The strongest opposition to the new law was the highway police as they could not collect the bribes from the truck driver.The law was withdrawn. The reason that the police does not stop the trucks on the road is there is already been a payment for that truck in advance.From a quote from Bernard Trink TIT Edited March 17, 2017 by sanukjim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
