but on another forum you say you are an online English teacher. So what is it? ..... Just asking for a friend.

The responsibility of dealing with uninsured tourists lies firmly with the uninsured themselves and with nobody else. Then the families of these people are spared both the financial pain of the hospital bills, and the embarrassment of handing round the begging bowl. Brits especially seem to belong to a victim culture that believes that responsibility lies not with themselves but with "the government", "the council" or "the pothole". If a motorcyclists eyesight is so poor that he cant see a pothole in the road, then he is either going too fast or he needs glasses and therefore should not be on a motorbike in the first place. I dont know if this chap had insurance or not, but the fact that there is a gofundme page begging for handouts suggests he is uninsured. Actions as well as inactions have consequences.
