webfact Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Video: Metal plate flies off water delivery vehicle into the pick-up behind video screenshot Dash cam footage from a pick-up travelling along Rama 2 Road inbound in Bangkok showed the moment when a large metal plate flew off into the following vehicle's windshield. The driver ahead was unaware that anything had happened. The driver behind, Somphat, said that he thought it was cardboard at first before it hit his vehicle. After that he chased the water delivery vehicle to a market where the driver initially denied causing damage. Until he was shown the dashcam footage. Insurance settled the matter. The metal plate was used in the transportation of water bottles and appeared to have been left on the roof. No one was hurt.

They rarely admit responsibility,not only is it dangerous just driving on the roads, you now have things flying through the air,trying to kill you. On one really stormy night up here in Chiang Mai,very windy,rain lashing down,I seen this thing fly over my truck,I thought it was a plane crashing, it turned out to be a huge advertising sign from the top of a building,I was lucky that night,no damage to me. regards worgeordie 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Matzzon Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2020 Of course he denied until proof was given. That´s the standard act, even if you know you are in the wrong. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s the standard act, even if you know you are in the wrong. Many years ago in the UK the insurance on my company vehicle mandated that you "never" accept liability even if you knew you were in the wrong/were clearly culpable. Very embarrassing when it was obviously my fault in one particular instance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All too often we have seen the results of such action when a pick up drivers try to swerve out of danger. (perceived or real) It usually ends up rolling! Holding his line was probably the safest thing to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new2here Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 8 hours ago, NightSky said: It is if you're dishonest I agree.. the only problem is that there’s little to no disincentive if you will to not being dishonest.. that’s why i support mandatory minimum penalties with “aggravators” such as proven dishonesty, that bump up the penalties... so if you did it, the penalty is X, but if you lied about it, the punishment goes up to 1.5x or the like... otherwise, it’s kind of like a taking a bet based on your lie, but knowing that the losses are the same as to admitting truthfully guilt at the onset.
