Popular Post webfact Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thai driving: Woman smashes up the DLT - on her TEST! Picture: Daily News A Thai woman behind the wheel of her brand new red plate pick-up was fined for negligence after she smashed up the center where she was taking her driving test. Aged in her mid thirties, the woman smashed into a parked car, then plowed through a wall of an office at the Department of Land Transport at That Phanom, Nakhon Phanom, north eastern Thailand. DLT chief Sitthichai Sukhwiphat said she mistook the accelerator for the brake while she was on a ramp heading to the test area. Picture: Daily News She agreed to pay for all the damage and is being fined by the police. She was told to go away, get some experience and come back for another test. Sitthichai said that his tests were carried out with safety in mind. Medical certificates could determine if someone was fit to drive but the real question was how much experience the applicant has; that needs to be determined in a practical test.

I would have thought that as long as you can find the door to get in the car then that would more than enough experience for to take a practical test here. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) If that vehicle was brand new this is a very old story. Nissan stopped making that in about 2000. Unless that is collateral damage. Edited June 30, 2020 by VocalNeal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Surelynot Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 Took two Thai relatives for their test (Chaiyaphum) both failed. Neither could drive steadily, neither could parallel park, one of them hit the curb driving along a straight section. Both paid 1000 Baht to the 'man' then went off to pick up their licenses. Job done. We saw two accidents driving home. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vogie Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 The driving test lady that conducted the driving test I went on must have been multilingual, she split the attendees into two groups, one Thai, the rest farang. She spent about 10 minutes explaining the course to the Thais then turned to us and said "farang, you fail, go home" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick501 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Bit harsh failing her for that. She's just replicating what she sees every day on the roads and thought that's how you're meant to drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
