Costas2008 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have noticed that they don't have to be arguing to loose control of the vehicle here. And then, David, is asking, Are Thais the best drivers in the world? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I doubt if she was wearing a seat belt. There is an assumption driver was in control previous to impromptu restaurant drive through.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattbaldacchino Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 doesn't say if he had a DL Thought they were optional. Same as number plates. Borrowed the girlfriend's uncle's truck to go into town, didnt have plates. Got stopped by police who looked at my license, asked if the vehicle was registered "I don't know its not mine.." "Oh Ok, you can go now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
