Authorities claim that bus licenses wo n’t be renewed following the 14-person Father’s Day crash.

According to deputy state representative Rudklao Suwankiri, double-deck buses will remain outlawed in the next four to five years as a change was required following the accident that killed 14 travellers in Prachuap Khiri Khan province.

The incident, which resulted in 14 fatalities and 32 injuries when a double-decker bus veered off the road and slammed into some branches, was attended to by Ms. Rudklao on behalf of the government on Wednesday.

The vehicle was making its way from Bangkok to Songkhla province’s Na Thawi city. On Tuesday at around 1am, the incident happened at the 331-kilometer symbol in tambon Huai Yang of the Thap Sakae region in Prachuap Khiri Khan.

Rescuers discovered 14 body at the scene, including seven on the lower board, three in the lower deck and four outside the vehicle, according to FS1 Chatchai Saweeyanon, commander of the Hazard Prevention and Mitigation Unit in Huai Yang.

The 36-year-old driver was given the nickname Somsak and given that name. In Prachuap Khiri Khan Hospital, he is in important issue.

According to Ms. Rudklao, the transport minister changed a rule that now only permits double-deck cars to be four meters tall, along from 4.3 meters.

A GPS structure must also be installed and made accessible for assessment on each vehicle. &nbsp,

The double-decker bus licenses that are currently on the streets will disappear in the next 4 to 5 years, and they should be the last of their kind in Thailand, she continued. &nbsp,

According to Ms. Rudklao,” the prime minister has given the Transport Ministry and state companies the authority to lessen the damage and assist the customers ‘ people.” &nbsp,

The vehicle may have fallen asleep and the car may not have received proper maintenance, according to Kongsak Chuenkrailart, coordinator of the Foundation for Buyers ‘ public transportation security program. &nbsp,

Additionally, he claimed that the van company’s name did not correspond to the company that sold the cards. &nbsp,

According to Mr. Kongsak,” I would like agencies to reevaluate the security requirements of double-decker buses and whether they ensure customer safety.”

Double-deck buses are now in use across the nation, but passengers do not have access to repair checks, information on services life, plan, or evidence that the buses have passed a hill test. Over the years, fatalities have been brought on by all of these elements.

The vehicle in question was moving at 88 kilometers per hour, which is below the rate limit of 90 km/h, according to a statement from the Department of Land Transport on Wednesday. &nbsp,
