I guess he can't say his brakes failed in this instance. Requires further investigation. Agree, many unanswered questions here, time for TV desktop detectives to sharpen the pencil and get to work.

Calm down, just another accusation that the truckdriver caused the accident, wait a few more hours and the TV desktop detectives will solve this case.

Or did the truck simply pull out in front of the car?. How fast were they going? May God Bless their poor souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its unlikely the gas station was on a twisty road. How can the ladies not see unless they weren't looking? 2:45 am it's more likely the ladies were going home from a night out. Horrible way to go and a dreadful shame. The TV investigation squad or desktop detectives are wrong in 99.9% of they'r cases, nothing to worry about.

Don’t know how strict Thailand is on commercial trucks safety checks etc. Noticed on tv news last night one of the pick up type trucks blew a tire and rolled or drive into the ditch. The rear tire was blown and retreads. Wouldn’t think those would be safe in the hot weather. Retreads should be illegal on commercial vehicals carrying passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear tire was blown and retreads. Wouldn’t think those would be safe in the hot weather. Retreads should be illegal on commercial vehicals carrying passengers I/we all know from experience that trucks on Thai Roads and not just Thai roads, 75 logging trucks were put off the Rd in Northland NZ this week due to issues involving safety/ condition of vehicles and log book entries. Thailand was to introduce log books about 2 years ago within a few months, where are they??. Not blaming any one here, though I myself find it very difficult at night on LOS roads to see trucks as the road marking are sometimes non existent and the trucks have no, or poor rear lighting. That can be the opposite, with them having lights all over them, in all sorts of colours. My worst fear is passing them as they drift across the road quite often. Then you get Thai drivers overtaking from the inside lane trying to beat you if you about to overtake from the right lane, this practice is rife. The truck may have pulled out in front of them as they overtook , or they may have just not seen it and drove straight into it, we do not know, we all know that trucks are a nightmare as well as bikes and idiot fast drivers in smaller vehicles. It scares me driving in LOS and I drive defensively all the time. A truly sad loss of life. May they rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wonder about the safety rules for gas fitting and wonder if they are applied by the fitters or checked by anyone. Anyhow that’s another three added to the never ending list , so very sad. In Australia Gas fitters have to be trained, tested and licensed, but apparently not in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto shut off valves will not work in a major accident. If the tank is ruptured, gas leaks out - if there's a source of ignition, an explosion and a fire is inevitable.

I was far west of Samut Prakan just yesterday and passed several loaded cane trucks. Most had their tail lights completely obscured by overhanging cane. The other fact is that the trucks were travelling extremely slow, 40-50kph at most. Be careful out there folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbbooboo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hmmm.... given that Thai drivers coming out from a side road/ gas station exit etc don’t bother to look to the left for oncoming traffic, this one isn’t hard to work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is perhaps it was not the fault of the girls in the car. Rather odd that someone looks into their mirror sees a speeding car behind and doesn't pull over? I am suggesting perhaps the truck braked suddenly or was suddenly turning. It is very small odds that a car simply speeds into the back of a truck.

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Sad as it is, there is a fair chance they were busy updating their social media and not watching the road. Badly lit trucks do pull out without looking on Thai roads at night, you need to keep your wits about you at all times. RIP girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
