webfact Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Video: No seatbelts: Couple propelled through windshield in smash near Bangkok Thai caption: Not wearing seatbelts Sanook said that a Facebook post showed what can happen when you don't wear a seatbelt. The dash cam footage on the page of Nut Preeyanut was from a car stopped at the lights at an intersection on Petchkasen Road in the Krathum Baen area of Samut Sakhon. A car travelling at considerable speed in the opposite direction suddenly hurtles towards the dash cam car. The windshield shatters and a man and a woman apparently not wearing seatbelts are thrown out. The poster said that the woman was hurt even more seriously than the man. The date on the footage was 2015 and Sanook made no attempt to explain this or provide further details. They said the footage was being widely shared on Thai social media as people warned about wearing seatbelts.

toofarnorth Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The roads of LoS . How many drive without seat belts , how many drive , one hand on the wheel with t'other hand on some App ? Even locals on Waves can't ride without looking at a 3" x 2" screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 What can you say? Intelligent people know to buckle up the instant they get in the car. Then again, intelligent people know not to drive like a complete lunatic too. Once you have seen the face of someone who has been through a windscreen, you really should understand the logic behind seat belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 After a lot of nagging from me, I finally got my wife's niece to stop having her daughter sit on her lap in the front seat. A horribly dangerous practise. So this weekend we had a rare visit from my wife's son with his wife and 2 year old. They are now doing the same thing. I'm not a Thai basher, as I'm sure everyone here knows, but on issues like this they do not and will not listen. In one ear and out the other.

krystian Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 This and clips like this should be the ones they show on the video watching for an hour at the land transpo office when you get / renew your license.

Right and not videos on U-Tube showing accidents that do not happen in Thailand. Then we have reflections in the room: it does not concern us it happens in China or Russia I ride a lot on my MTBike and I love to ride in the city in the traffic jams because on a MTBike you overtake the cars; I note that very few Thai motorists buckle their seatbelt in the front and unfortunately even less in the back; especially when it comes to a two-door pickup that should never be used to carry people on the back seat; besides, this "back" does not have seat belts. But for some years the belt must be buckled at the front as at the back ... It would be good, during the passage or the renewal of the driving license that the "instructors" or "monitors" explain that a person not attached to the back becomes a cannonball for the people attached (or not) to the before; a person not attached to the back will break the back of the seat in front of her and crush against the windshield the person in front of her. We also see too many kids sitting on the lap of the driver. We see so many aberrations on the road in Thailand ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The constant noise (tapping/rocking) while the car is moving is caused by the lack of a gasket/cushion between the dashcam and it's windscreen mount, resulting in constant vibration & less sharp footage (roadsigns? numberplates?) Most dashcams have a couple in each box these days but a quick fix is to place a bit of electrical tape between the two. (Ask me how I know! ????)

Unfortunately i know many people who have seen several faces that have gone through windscreens (emergency doctors and first responders), and they will hold their baby on their lap while driving the car or "forget" to buckle up. Guess it all comes back to the "intelligent people" you started the comment with... Clearly intelligence is not related to educational levels here.

They will always do whatever they want to do, regardless of the consequences. They are incapable of forward thinking and knowing what those consequences might be. That is especially so when driving, which is why so many drive as if they are playing a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look to the right of the move clip. You will see that they were racing a pickup. To busy looking at the truck I guess and not paying attention to the road methinks.

I think tropposerver is correct, I watched it a few times and I think that out of camera view is stationary traffic (there was a U turn prior to the right turn lane) so maybe someone edged out causing traffic in the right hand lane to slow or stop and matey in the offending car never saw it.
