Rimmer Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Tour bus loses wheel PATTAYA:--Two cars were damaged when a wheel flew off a tour bus carrying Chinese tourists in Najomtien. A Chevrolet Trailblazer driven by Radsamee Kulalai, 45, and a Toyota Vigo plate driven by Jamnien Sangngam, 37, both suffered dents. No one was injured. Bus driver Eakachai Seranon, 60, said he was bound for a Sattahip tourist attraction when he heard a strange noise from the back of the coach. He then heard the accident on Sukhumvit Road at the Ban Amphur intersection March 12. Inspection showed the 8 lug nuts holding the wheel had sheared off. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-22-03-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 A nutter "fixed" the nuts. Why don't I hear such stories from home country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Triangle Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The driver obviously didn't do his first parade service this morning, that means walking around your vehicle visually checking that all lights work, wheel nuts are tight and secure, tyre pressures correct, tread depth, oil levels, fluid levels etc etc...................Cretin.

worgeordie Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well it makes a change from dozy drivers,brake failure,you can hear and feel when wheel nuts are loose,best stop,phone up break down service or tyre shop,and get them tightened up, the threads will have most likely been worn down if driven too far lose,so are going to be need replacing.ASAP. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Good that no one was hurt. If such a thing flies of at high speed it kills. Remember the poor scooter riding girl killed by a flying wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the photo something is not adding up .. 4 of the studs look to have sheared off but wheel nuts appear to still be in position on 2 others ..

roo860 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 HGV and Public Service Vehicles in the UK require a 'walk around check ', this is before your vehicle is driven. You have to record all these checks and also defects in a daily log, this is then signed by the driver. It is an offence not carry out this procedure. Google. There's no shortage of UK, US, European or other nutters, so easy to find plenty.Sent from my SM-G920F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mrs was explaining to me only last night how a HGV truck driver in Thailand was investigated after an accident and he had a record of over 100 previous tickets, some accidents involving the deaths of people. A dangerous driver who cared not a whit and free to kill and maim further. A lot to be done here in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the greatest respect sir I used to all the time as an ex HGV & PSV driver, these days as I only do a couple hundred kms a month the Tuner gets the once over once a month. It really is a drivers responsibility to ensure his vehicle is roadworthy before embarking on a journey, especially if one has live cargo ie: passengers ????

No Sir, you misunderstand me, who in THAILAND does that? They can't drive the things properly, I doubt very much that they know the first thing about them mechanically.
