luudee Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 These idiots need to be told that when the road is wet it will be slippery. The "Mai Pen Rai" attitude will not help .... Make the driver pay for it all ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Real Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Another one that at least should have been having 15 hours of training, and surgically removed "Mai Bpen Rai"-implant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompelli Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Thailand could take a page out of Finland's book. There the have both Summer & Winter parts to the driving test because of the dramatic change in road conditions. Rainy season here always comes with the slippery road's at fault syndrome. Stick them on a skid pan so they can experience the slippery road without 20+ innocents along for the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure BS first rains make roads slippery, due to oils (from leaky vehicles) being liberated from the road surface, once these are washed away, the road is no where near as treacherous the bus driver was driving outside of the prevailing weather conditions, heedless of common sense, and is 100% to blame for this accidents... no ifs or buts... he should loose his license, and be forever banned from driving a commercial vehicle, as a minimum. lol... that said, I suppose there is a valid argument that his incompetence is a product of the mandated driver training system, which might see a class action suit against the transport dept, in a country like the USA.

rott Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I would use lose instead of loose, but otherwise I get your drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Triangle Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Funnily enough me and the Mrs were having a similar conversation as I drove through extremely heavy rain on the way to Chantaburi the other day (still here till Tuesday a.m. if anyone wants to meet for a beer ) Anyway, I slowed right down 40 - 50 kph, headlights on, and windscreen wipers on full blast - still nearly driving blind, but the fools just kept on roaring past us with no lights and totally oblivious to the term 'aquaplaning' so I spent an interesting 15 or 20 minutes explaining the phenomenon to her, I think she's got it now. Why do they allow numpties to drive buses with passengers on especially when it is or has been raining, gawd forbid that they ever come across snow or ice.
