What is the speed limit on Rama 9 bridge?
Where the injured rear seat passengers wearing seat belts?
Not sure about in Thai law but certainly in UK law the rear ended car driver can be charged with driving without due consideration for other road users. e.g. Those following. For instance if they stopped suddenly and unexpectedly at the give way line at a roundabout devoid of any traffic and that has excellent visibility on approach. Or perhaps doing an emergency stop for a baby rabbit crossing the road, knowing they were being followed.
One poster said the good samaritans should have parked immediately behind the accident. Not so unless you happen to be driving a police patrol vehicle which can be lit up like Blackpool immuminations or want your car smashed into as well.

1,000 baht, yeah, that's a serious threat.
One days earnings. What a huge deterrent.

Wondering why the quote button shows up for all the replies but not for the OP?
Have I got this right? You own it and are driving around in it for 5 years but you don't know at which end the driven wheels are?
Tyres don't go out of alignment, wheels do. More usually front ones who's alignment is controlled by the relatively thin steering rods. A good kerbing will knock them out of track which then usually causes shoulder wear on the tyres. Best observed by putting the steering on full lock, standing at the side of the wheel and looking down the front of it at the tread.
Be careful about this old fashioned idea of rotating tyres, many these days are directional. Also if you wear them all out at the same time, means dipping in your pocket for 4 new ones at once.
Also when a vehicle has been serviced or tyres been messed with in Thailand, ALWAYS check the pressures yourself as they are very likely to have been very over inflated for normal use = will wear the centre tread off & won't stop in the wet + uncomfortable ride.
My money's on a bearing.

quite loud resonance noise from the rear end
2) Could it be something else, like the gearbox or differential? Are there any known problems like that with Honda Civic?

Well intentioned I'm sure, but given "must generally gain employment" the article is obviously not aimed at your average alcy farang in LOS.

How sad. A well liked and respected genuine guy by the sound of it.
Are we allowed to link to newspaper articles these day? Gonna risk it anyway, no doubt Soundman or someone will remove and slap my wrists if not.

Sounds as though the engine may have stopped and there's been nowhere to put it down within gliding time.
Elsewhere on the net I read the company that owned the plane have had 3 down within 12 months.
RIP BB and sincere condolences to the family.
