Popular Post webfact Posted May 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2020 Video: Blame it on the drizzle and being 25! "Benjaphaet" driver comes a cropper in front of Korat mall Picture: Sanook Dash cam footage from a driver who posted on Facebook showed the moment when a black Isuzu pick-up raced past at high speed. The dash cam driver shrieks as the pick-up whizzes past dangerously. Then the pick-up driver loses it when trying to get round the car in front before slamming into a roadside tree and overturning. The accident happened on the Friendship Highway inbound outside a famous mall on Sunday evening, said Sanook. Inside the car was 25 year old Weerawat who said he was in his way home after work. He blamed the accident on the light rain or drizzle. He said he was helped out of his car and was fortunate not to be badly injured. The media said he hurt his left arm in particular among other minor injuries. Sanook mentioned that the driver was "benjaphaet". This refers to a Thai belief that something decisive or dramatic happens when people are 25 years old, notes Thaivisa's cultural attache.

You can see black smoke pouring out of the exhaust as he planted his foot to go even faster and then lose control I'm just glad this idiot didn't involve any other cars in his wreck . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterphuket Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 A pity the guy is not dead! A sister from my GF was killed by such a retarded, and also in that case the driver has minor injuries. The age says it all, no experience, rear wheel drive, rainy weather, the perfect circumstances to get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
