webfact Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Video: Reckless driving by driver of Bangkok bus #75 Picture: Sanook A dash cam video posted online showed the dangerous driving of a number 75 bus driver. A Suzuki Swift is nearly wiped out as the bus travels at speed on the wrong side of the road. Sanook reported that the Swift driver was left shaken and scared - they had a toddler aged 1 year and five months in the car. Netizens called for proper action from the authorities - not meaningless slaps on the wrist for Bangkok's crazy bus drivers. While many people went online to recount horror stories of dangerous driving on Route 75.

saigonsunset Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 There are so many of them driving the exact same way so nothing will happen to this guy as usual. Why Thai society is incapable of correcting and punishing any wrong doings whatsoever? I mean literally anything goes unpunished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMartinHandyman Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Interesting the dash-cam driver wasn’t too shaken and took the opportunity to overtake the blue car that pulled over in front of them. Looks like any other day anywhere in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I encounter this driving attitude while on my scooter almost every day. The oncoming car/truck/bus takes the attitude you are a scooter, squeeze further to the left or else. It may be your lane and right of way, but you will be dead, yes it will be my fault but as long as I am not drunk or high, I will take responsibility and receive a 1,500 baht fine and a suspended two-year sentence. The bus driver just thought the car should just move to the left, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubon farang Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Normal driving in Thailand. An ineffective police force and drivers who don't care about the road rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ineffective police force and drivers who don't care about the road rules I agree with you. I often see buses driving on the wrong side of the road. It is so normal that most cars just pull over as a normal thing to do. Same as buses driving blatantly over red lights. Cars just pull up and wait.
