rooster59 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Nails on the road causing trouble for motorcyclists in Khon Kaen Caption: What do they want? Reporters from Sanook went to Khon Kaen to investigate after nails keep appearing on the road between Ban Thum and Sawathee sub-districts. At least ten motorcycles have needed completely new tires in the last couple of months. Phansak Khamya, 31, said that one day he collected two whole handfuls of new nails. By next day another man had found a load more. It is not considered likely that they got there by accident. The local Phu Yai Ban (village leader) believes that either local youths are causing mischief or repair shops in the area are trying to drum up custom by spreading nails on the hard shoulder.

losername Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Maybe a local person is fed up with the noise from modified non-standard exhaust systems. Tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell17au Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I don't think it is the young people because who ever it is, is only putting them on the hard shoulder. I think if it was the young ones they would put them all over the road, but I think it is someone who is singling out the motorbikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Theory Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 When I was young I worked as a tow truck driver for a period of time and always as a jock we accused each other (drivers) for oiling freeway off-ramps. ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If memory serves me well, ( which is a hit and miss affair ), I remember a couple of years ago that a man and his wife who owned a repair shop were prosecuted after admitting scattering nails on the road. Their biggest mistake was doing it too close to their shop...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
