EricTh Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 This actually happens quite often. I see a lot of motorists simply making u-turns in front of cars in a traffic intersection. What if the cars start to move? They have no sense of safety and which lane you should not make a u-turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy 4680 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The pick up driver obviously negligent in making such a turn, BUT, the Mazda driver appeared to be very slow in realising such a hazard was ahead, and any amount of braking seemed to be totally inadequate.

terminatorchiangmai Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Driver of the cam car should be fined. Plenty of time to hit the brakes but he/she was most likely looking at his/her phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevvy Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 how many times have we seen this , the drivers in this country think , once they pullout in front of you they are safe . Does not matter how slow they are going , all they see is the road in front . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasyFingers Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 This happened near home. It is always a dangerous place as the U-turn is just over the crest of a hill on the 2 lane highway. There is also a 2 lane frontage road that gives access to a 7/11 and other shops. I often stop at the 7/11 and have to go across the 4 lanes to turn right into my road. The speed that some cars come over the crest is amazing. Then you get those that make it a 2 lane U-turn from the outside lane of the highway.

Why keep banging on about enforcement? Thai traffic police do what they are supposed to do, extort money from road users! Full stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From watching this vid a few times the turning car showed no brake lights or indication so how could anyone have predicted such a stupid move or did i miss something ?
