Yes the road surface is bad on the Kathu side can be very difficult to come up that side in the wet without spinning the wheels and sliding all over the road.

Also I think vehicle maintenace and driver attitude could be an issue here. That is the 5th incident involving the cement trucks that go back and forward over the hill everyday that I have heard about/witnessed. Even when people are killed it seems no action is taken against the company for its obviously unsafe operating practices. I shit myself everytime I am coming down that hill and see one of those trucks filling my mirrors, no way could he stop that thing in a hurry coming down the hill at the speeds they drive.
