Briggsy Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I would say the other vehicle was a PPV not an SUV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MockingJay Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 If the pick up driver had lived his excuse would have been The rain caused the accident Not my lack of driving skills and intelligence ...or perhaps he "was angry" - reason good enough to let a guilty Thai person walk free in Thailand... This killer phrase, "I was angry" is as essential in any legal/police matters here as the obligatory finger pointing. If that doesn't work, of course there will be a thousand other excuses for why he lost control (in traffic, in a situation, in life) and killed innocent people in the process... RIP to the innocent dead and condolences to family and friends, thorough and quick recovery to the injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12DrinkMore Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 If the pick up driver had lived his excuse would have been The rain caused the accident Not my lack of driving skills and intelligence There are eye witnesses to that. The witnesses claimed that heavy rain and slippery road conditions were the cause of the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 "The witnesses claimed that heavy rain and slippery road conditions were the cause of the crash." Will they never learn? Heavy rain and slippery road conditions only contributed to the accident. A driver or drivers CAUSED the accident through lack of driving skills or common sense! RIP and condolences to families and friends and a speedy recovery to those injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf12 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 That damned rain causes more problems than enough. It should know there are only two speeds in Thailand and these are dead stop and as fast as the vehicle will go (sounds like Saudi they have the same speed limits). Some thing should be done to stop rain altogether, it is bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvr181 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 It was an accident and people died. RIP Yup and let no one learn from it? I can only wonder if you you would have that same "fatalistic" attitude if one of those dead or seriously injured were a member of your family.
