just last week one bus had brakefailure in Phuket, but the driver saved the day by running in to hillside and stopped the bus.
I have ridden phuket roads and they are steep.
+1. Phuket roads are very dangerous and need extra cautious when driving in this area, also the other islands are tend to be with higher rates of road accidents for some reason...!
