Popular Post webfact Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2020 VIDEO: Rule number one when driving in Thailand: Concentrate at all times video screenshot Thai TV Channel 7 reminded the Thai public to concentrate at all times when driving. One who didn't was the driver of a truck who collided with the back of a truck trailer then caused a collision with a car that had the dash cam. So what was driver doing who caused the accident? He admitted that he bent down to pick up his water bottle. He was the worst injured though no one was seriously hurt. The accident happened on the Asia Highway in Ayuthaya north of the Thai capital Bangkok.

Popular Post Captain_Bob Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2020 "bent down to pick up his water bottle" More likely playing with their stupid phone. See that all the time on Thai roads. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. more important than (other) human lives. 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbbbooboo Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hmmm.... concentration while driving in Thailand?....I suggest the appalling daily road deaths make this highly unlikely. The police can’t even concentrate on their job for example ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The guy driving the car should have slowed down way before but probably thought as most do, I will make it through until it's too late, locking it up doesn't help, and judging by the taco metres on his dash, he was driving a manuel which he could have geared down to a stop without locking it up. The old saying, hit em in the rear and your in the wrong ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
