rooster59 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Video: Who needs a Hollywood car chase when you've got Thailand! Image: Sanook A video of a pick-up racing through heavy traffic has been viewed more than two million times after it was posted on Facebook. And no wonder - the footage is incredible even for the driving that many motorists experience in Thailand. The pick-up loaded with what appears to be building materials sticking out the end is chased by another vehicle that has a dash cam. Despite going through gaps barely wide enough it manages to keep going - damaging 20 other vehicles in the process. Eventually it crashes into the central reservation spilling its contents out the rear. Sanook.cok reported that the footage was uploaded to the page of "Nipon Singto" where 2 million people viewed it within three hours. The poster say it was like Fast and Furious and was "coming to a theater near you". Police have made an arrest.

impulse Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm a little curious about who's taking the video, and how crazy their driving must have been to keep up with this nimrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much worse than the past... We used to spend a lot of our slack time picking lint out of our navels. This is just about as constructive.

When I think about it maybe not BiB. Surely a police officer would not be allowed to post incriminating evidence on social media. Yer, I know. TiT.

It all fits the scenario of: 'Driver of a decrepit vehicle with an unsecured load and dodgy documentation tries to flee traffic cop'. I reckon that's one BiB who deserves a pat on the back for his tenacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coota Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I've just seen a post on Facebook of the BIB wrestling with him at the scene, it shows a civilian run over and get stuck into him as well. I'll try to post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make this a bona fide police chase scene then. Even more impressive than the slow white Bronco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely a guy on a Motorcycle.....and good thing he was a concerned citizen..... while more than likely the person doing the filming was the first victim or amongst the first to be side swiped and angered by the incident and proceeded to follow and film the guy while following the truck driver seems to have made the truck driver speed all the more hoping to evade the person in pursuit... Meantime...As I have pointed out before all too many Thai drivers have Som Tum on their minds, hence the reason for all the reckless driving conduct that is witnessed all the moreso with personal video camera equipment made available for affordable prices. I now see a lot of the Taxi Cabs have the Video recording devices in their Taxi cabs....but I ask them what do they do if they are the ones causing the accident and it is recorded....Then there is silence, meaning the obvious....delete that part leading up to the accident...LOL Edited March 25, 2017 by gemguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you throw away a key for 5 years where would you look to find it after 5 years , my TW can't find her scooter key after 2 hours . Sorry just being picky , I agree , should never be let loose on the roads again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 An obvious brain fail , there can be no reason at all for this driving , brake fail , I don't think so , wet roads , same same. If he /she just robbed a bank it would not be the ideal vehicle for doing a runner in . It would be nice to think he /she died after going through the windscreen at the end . All those insurance claims because of one .............................can't use that word , fill in your own word . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
