NCC1701A Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) " when a pickup overtook his trailer and suddenly cut into his way, prompting him to swerve to the left, causing the trailer to flip." exactly the same thing a bus driver said last week when he flipped his bus. remember? maybe they all go to the same professional drivers school.

observer90210 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Road rash drivers!!!...yet it would be so simple to make things safer....punish those who drive rashly, if they recidivate revoke their licence, if they still drive or lack insurance, straight to the Bangkok Hilton...that's how things work in Europe...because many years back, certain European roads were not better then Thai Roads....high fines, licences revoked, jail sentences for those without insurance or driving without a licence, drastically dissuaded and lowered the mishaps!...ok ok I know "but this is Thailand"....to bad....

jaiyen Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Would have been far safer to ram the ute. I know its hard to make that decision buy its far more dangerous to swerve a big truck. People get killed swerving to miss a bird sitting on the road !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
