The bus fire removes doubts over the body registration of the Thai Transport Operators Association chairman for more than 50 years. Judging from this case, the entrepreneur was obviously wrong. The vehicle is not ready and the driver lacks skills. I ask people not to just view all cars as evil.

Judging from the case on October 1, 2024, a fire broke out in a student field trip bus. Located in front of the memorial hall in Pathum Thani, Vibavadi Rangsit Road, until there were casualties. Dr. Wasuchet Sophonsathien The Chairman of the Thai Transport Operators Association said in an interview with Newsgroup Tairat Online

It is understood by the Land Transport Authority and based on the evidence that this loss was caused by a broken axle. This causes the car to scrape on the ground until it loses its balance. Until a spark appeared and gas leaked into the passenger compartment, the fire quickly ignited and spread.

Dr. Wasuchet felt that with all the issues that came up I had to sit down and look at this. What causes the defect? The condition of the car or the person The accident is believed to have occurred in either case because the condition of the car is not 100% perfect and the person who knows if the car is good or bad is the driver. Sometimes the car owner doesn’t know because he has not experienced the work site. When you inspect your car, you may find that it is in good condition. But in the end, when the weight was too great due to the number of gas tanks it was carrying, the steel broke, causing the tank to rupture and crash.

As for the human condition, they must be prepared. But something happened and we didn’t feel good about it. It was the response to the incident on the day of the incident because if it had been a car belonging to the association we would have been trained forever. Drivers will know what to do when an accident occurs. The most important thing is to help passengers in case of fire. What can be done to minimize losses? People’s lives are as safe as possible

“But the skills of the service providers we see are not good enough. I think this is because some of them are cars coming from other provinces. Not affiliated with any organization or agency this may improve some skills of the employees,” the association president told us.

Do not install storage tanks beyond the regulations:

When news came out that the service provider secretly installed the gas tank. Dr Wasuchet said this was not possible according to regulations. This time the evidence was clear, it wasn’t legal. It is considered illegal due to the altered condition of the vehicle.

“As for the age of the car, many people still have doubts about whether such an old car can still run. That is, the age listed here is the age first recorded on the car’s registration book. There are currently two parts of the vehicle: imported from abroad. New car, new chassis.

“But the vehicle involved is an original vehicle that has been modified in China. This is the original chassis number, but everything has been removed, including the braking system, suspension system, and engine system. After everything has been changed, it must be sent to What changes were made to the Land Transport Department inspection?

“This originally started about ten years ago as a government policy to promote and support the country’s automobile manufacturing industry. The original car is refurbished but with the original license plate. So it looks like the car is many years old. But the fact is that the materials have been changed and the safety standards are not guaranteed by the Ministry of Land Transport and the registration is not updated but this is obviously a mistake. of.

Cars on the road aren’t always evil:

Dr. Wasuchet said that from now on, a joint approach must be taken between the government and the private sector. Because the Department of Transportation already has this knowledge. And the introduction of departmental regulations and road safety regulations I think there are many. If you follow the regulations, the safety must be very high.

“Thailand still has the right cars and is fully prepared to provide services. So I would like to leave this issue to the public sector. Don’t just treat every car on the road as a defendant or evil. Because there is only one place that does Not good. We will try to make it better. As for the consequences now, such as canceling work or receiving orders from the department, I personally think this is the way to go.

“However, we understand the seriousness of this incident. We must learn lessons and not let such losses happen again. And we implore all entrepreneurs to cooperate. It is best to do everything correctly and in accordance with the regulations.
