Common in Thailand, but sometimes the wheel avoid the following car....

Good luck it was not a motorbike instead of the car that received the wheel in the face. 

A more common event is a motorcyclist dropping a crash helmet on the road. 

I'm getting a number of topics that have an empty OP. Obviously others can see something as there are replies. Why can't I see anything??

I saw a guy on the highway with his crash helmet in his basket only last week, yes, on a three lane highway.

 

Three days later a guy pulled up along side me and his crash helmet was not strapped on, this was on a two lane carriageway.

A similar thing happened in Melbourne Australia a few years ago on a freeway. A wheel came out of a passing ute and hit a man standing on the side of the road as he was helping a friend whose car had stalled. Seeing it's illegal for a pedestrian to be on a freeway the fatality was a 'one in a million".

Be glad it was a spare wheel and not the gas canister that fell off!

The Miracle Channel on Thai tv shows a lot of this sort of stuff. There was a food vendor at the side of the road who was killed the other week when a wheel came off a lorry and rolled or crashed into her food stall knocking it and her over.

...wheels-in-meals...RIP.

Had a big stone thrown up from some roadworks in Thailand once that smashed the windscreen. Luckily it was back in the days when getting a windscreen replaced was relatively cheap, and we just looked for a shop to replace it.

 

Current pickup has a webcam just incase something like this happens...

I cant believe how high that wheel bounced.

 

Happening to me as well, can't see any of the OP content. Something's amiss, using Tapatalk here.

A bike rider could have ended up dead. That tire is heavy!

The OP is just an embedded Facebook video, no text. For me the video loads, but slowly, so initially it appears blank for a few seconds.

For some reason it's not loading at all with you.

 

Here's a direct link to the video

Thanks for the info. I had the page open for quite some time, but nothing loaded. This time it loaded ok.

Possibly as a result of it being inflated to double the recommended pressure?

 

 

Wondering if the pickup ever stopped.  Or maybe he just wonders what happened to his tire after he got to his destination.

You can't ride with 3 wheels. With that speed I think the pickup will crash unless the driver can brake on time.

Nothing in Thailand should be unexpected - especially on the road.

The first post on this thread is blank for me too.
Maybe you are using the old version
Android app ? I am and often see blank where there should be a video or oustide linked picture.
