Indeed I had one a tray back Ute here in Australia when not loaded you can easily lose it in dry or wet conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IvorBiggun2 Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2020 Typical of the Thais to drive on the right hand lane even though the left lane was clear. If the Pajero driver had stuck to the left hand lane, as per the law, he may well have avoided the crash. 13 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colinneil Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2020 What a shocking waste of life, just because 2 idiots were driving irresponsibly. Both vehicles were being driven dangerously, with no thought given to road conditions. But hey, just another day on the roads here. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The road is a river,and they still feel the need to drive so fast, if they take themselves out with such stupidity,so be it, but this time they also took the life of the Pajero driver. regards worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PJPom Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2020 My pet hate with Thai drivers is overinflated tyres, scooters with 50 lbs sq in and vans and pickups with 70+. I have commented a few times and cheerfully been told, “go faster”or “not use gas”, the tread contact area is reduced and in the wet they aqua plane even at a reasonable speed if care is not taken. Now I will shut up, nothing will change, the carnage will continue, to all of you, be aware , be careful, T I T. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffersLos Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 They simply have no idea how to commandeer motorized vehicles. They also think they are supermen. Result: See above video and the statistics that make Thailand number 1 for road deaths. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
