OMG, I totally understand and agree with you. I feel like some aspects will never change, even if people scream out loud that they want change.

A scene we encounter all to often on the highways n Byways here ... this a tad closer to home outside C2MU shop yesterday morning... driver in a bad way as is the post box he smashed into before resting in the corner of the shop.

* thankfully no bottles of HP sauce or pies were injured in the incident as it happened before the shop opens.

Happened circa 7am .. speed unknown Dave but must of been going at a lick to hit the big post box on the pavement outside the post office and ended up tilted up against the corner of the shop, lots of pics on the Thai news sites and a video shortly after impact , damage to the truck says it all .. dont you just love these folks whose first response is to get their phone out and film stuff.

But that letterbox and C2MU are set back a ways from the main lanes as the road widens markedly only a few hundred meters before. Must have peen royally pished and pulled a very hard left.

Excellently and securely loaded .. no spillage at all =D> =D>

See these shockingly overloaded pick up trucks all the time when out n about , just because the drivers and/or the companies beef up the rear suspension doesnt mean they can carry the huge weights they attempt to do.
