Prairieboy Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It must have been a well-embedded sign to cause that much damage to the vehicle. Perhaps some speed was involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskunkel Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Phone falls down. Switch on warning lights. Come to a full stop. Pick up phone. Continue on the journey. No, no, too many steps. It's more convenient to pick it up while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I wonder if there's any street in the world that is home to more accidents than Thepkasattri Road, especially in the early hours! Fortunately this idiot didn't kill or injure anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifino Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 they should erase all Stop lines, Pedestrian lines etc - and repainted them at 90 degrees from the current... all traffic will then be hesitant to rush over the lines, for fear of being run over by pedestrians! i.e it is the 'crossing over' the lines that gives the locals some sort of adrenalin rush - the opposite of White Line fever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
