A long hose rattled behind a moving pickup truck in Thailand.

Footage shows the object unravelling as it was dragged along the motorway in Pathum Thani province on March 4.

But the driver seemed unaware that his cargo had already fallen onto the road and continued on his way.

Driver Kamphaeng Saen, who was behind the vehicle, said: ‘I warned him about it and he slowed down. Maybe he realised what was happening.'

Thailand has one of the world's worst road safety records. Ministers have set the goal of reducing fatalities from 32.7 deaths per 100,000 people to 12 per 100,000 people by the year 2027.

However, a lack of road safety education in schools, cheap loans for cars, notoriously easy driving tests, police failures to enforce road laws as well as endemic corruption and chronic under-investment in infrastructure hamper the efforts.
