ezzra Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Narrowly avoided disaster due to 'unknown reason' you'd think that the embassy will employ drivers with good driving skills to avoid such situations with high profile personal, you'd think, but not necessarily implemented.....

Surely you don't believe this story in its entirety? The embassy more than likely made some changes to protect the ambassador's name. Imagine you were driving and could you honestly say "for no reason I lost control"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown reason makes it sound even fishier. In the land of lies and corruption, it would take a nano second to come up with a "feasible" reason. Bus and minibus drivers have a plethora of excuses at their disposal, all gobbled up by the police without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooHaa Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 not sure how old she is but sounds like international school kids/university coming back from a party break in hua hin. I certainly made that drive back from friends condos there on a number of occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thian Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 How can you loose control without having any idea what happened? Did the steeringwheel come loose or so? Did they loose a tire? What was the speed they were driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanukjim Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Ah Yes, Its the ole unknown reason of a driver loosing control of his car. To do this damage it had to be an excess of speed combined with a detraction of the driver ( texting?,partying?,drinking?)..Of course here in LOS it could be a ghost car.

"The embassy more than likely made some changes to protect the ambassador's name." Well, his name, as reported by our reliable friends at PBS is Paul Rubelliard. His real name is Paul Robilliard. Perhaps that is what you were referring to? As reported, the driver Mr Adul Artharn lost control. Let's hope the young lady and the other two make a quick recovery.

steve187 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 speed, mobile phone, talking, spilling hot coffee, mechanical all possibilities, (steering wheel coming loose so unlikely, its not worth talking about, its just as likely to be an alien, crossing the road) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlQaholic Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I think the reason for the car "loosing control for no reason" was that the driver forgot to put on his 10+ amulets in the morning before the ride.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autonuaq Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 She should be taking the bus ,like the others kids ,rather than a taxpayer funded car and driver. I think you miss the point about the work of a an Ambassador. the Ambassador and the staff are there for several reasons in a foreign country and one of them to create a relation in such a way that it brings money to the country. So infact the Ambassador and the staff create jobs and support work to make it possible that he tax payers can pay tax form you reply on can understand this Ambassador is not doing its job well?

sandgroper2 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The reason the cause of the accident is unknown is because nobody knows what caused the accident, but if so, arnt telling yet, and police may never know. How on this gods earth can any thinking person be baffled by the "cause unknown" statement??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Strange. Grandis is known as Space Wagon here, it's a large lethargic boat. Having driven one for over 50tkm can't think of anything else besides mechanical failure or driver dozing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on this gods earth can any thinking person be baffled by the "cause unknown" statement??? Well considering the extent of any accident investigation in this place consists of whtle spray paint outlining the position of the wheels, I seriously doubt a cause will ever be found. Driver, what happened? I don't know! Ok, cause of accident unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
