The driver has been sentenced to gaol.
See John Cadogen's video - search for 4 years in prison for overloaded caravan driver: You have been warned on YouTube. (Not linked as JC videos usually have bad language.)
Sentenced to 4 years with 2 years non-parole. That was appealed and the sentence was increased to 6-1/2 years with a 4 year non-parole period.

So it wasn't just "slightly overloaded". The problem with Johns video is even if they do watch it and manage to use the communal brain cell to understand it, it'll still be a case of "it'll never happen to me".

It's not a bad read. Looking for the original trial now.

Edit: so they moved house using a caravan, by stuffing it full of household goods. And he was a professional truck driver and admitted that he'd done this before.
Oh, and a tinny on the roof as well.
Edit Edit: It's well known that because the Prado can only legally tow 2,500kg a large number of the Prados towing caravans are doing so illegally.

TIT eh Mike? The trucks there are nuts. People say that the Thais must be poor drivers due to the high per capita road toll. I disagree.The Thais treat the roads the same way they treat crowded footpaths around street markets: they don't bump into you and they always make room to let you in. I reckon the higher toll is due to the fact that if they do crash there are usually 5 people and a dog, or pig, on a moped and fourteen plus livestock in the back of the Rodeo.
I love Thailand.
