webfact Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Picture: Daily News Footage from a person called Pop Cp on the Twitter site of JS 100 radio station showed a red plate white car going the wrong way on the expressway. It happened in the Bang Na area. A red plate vehicle is new and possibly has a new driver. At this rate he or she will not be lasting very long on the infamously dangerous Thai roads. The poster said they had been going along normally in the far right lane when the car approached causing them to have to veer to the left. They wondered where they had come from and how they would exit the expressway. Netizens called for the highway police to get their skates on and arrest the driver for this latest madness on the Thai roads. Daily News went with "sut ngong" in their picture caption - "most perplexing" would be a polite translation. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-22 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Happens quite regularly on German autobahn. Translates as "ghost drivers". But there you have a chance to tune in to traffic radio which will interrupt and alarm as soon as one of these is noticed. Surprisingly few collisions (still some). Anything like this in Thailand? Ideas about technical facilities to avoid such errors have not materialized. (went as far as tyre piercing ribbons working in one direction) Edited June 22, 2021 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baht ???? Lesson learned. It's all a result of Covid causing empty tollroads ???? Could you go wrong way in Bangkok on notoriously jammed roads?

chilly07 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Looks like they spotted an empty road and decided to avoid the jams below. At least they were driving in their nearside lane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Probably missed his exit and so made a u-turn to get back to the exit so he did not have pay the extra toll at the exit he was headed for...... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely to be a foreign driver from a country that drives on the right. The wife of a US diplomat recently did this in England. She killed a young man, riding legally on his motorcycle then skipped the country claiming diplomatic immunity from prosecution. The disgusting woman is living free and clear in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I sometimes watch YouTube videos of Australian, UK, Canadian and US bad driving, just to remind myself that Thailand drivers are not the only <deleted>. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
