You really don't get it, do you ?

The majority of accidents is caused by young, reckless drivers.

Elder drivers tend to be very cautious, your blaming accidents on age is total nonsense.

You really dont get it.

This article is titled   

Sa Kaeo: Brit, 71, living in Thailand killed while making U-Turn on motorcycle

No one is debating who is causing the majority of accidents.

Try another Forum for that issue, Im sure there are plenty. 

Lets keep on the same page here, dont wonder, keep focused.

OMG, you elderly have too much time

Annoying comments.........I'm not blaming accidents on AGE, its about not being competent, a special skill set is required to ride on roads in Thailand.

So, Let's just continue to encourage the Reckless, Elderly, incompetent to keep riding.

Its very traumatic for the 3rd party involved in an accident when a death occurs.

Anyway, I reckon Safely First has nailed it. There are just toooo many elderly guys dying at U-turns.

What have you to say about that Sherlock?

 

And as another poster has suggested to the post by "Safety First", and I will say to you, to prove your point please supply the links to those "Toooo many" elderly guys dying at U-turns, and then search to find out how many people not considered elderly are dying on U-turns or indeed on the roads in general. 

 

And as "Safety First" has admitted, there are far too many incompetent drivers on the road who are not elderly, so that says more about Thailand and its drivers than it does about the elderly, which was my point.

 

And to round it off, RIP to the poor guy who was killed, and condolences to his family, because this man was sitting on his bike at a U-turn, just as he should have been, when through no fault of his own he was hit by a car and killed, so you're still certain that it was because of his age, that he died and not because of some incompetent car driver??

 

Go figure Sherlock

Oh well, you can't argue with senility.

You are quite right I can't argue with early onset senility in your case, and I feel sorry for you in that regard so let me try and help you out here, and I will use the old adage, "I can explain to you but I can't understand it for you"..........

 

You are saying that the headline states that because the person is 71 years of age he is in some way responsible for the accident, so let's look at this another way (I'll try for your sake, but only this once). Let's say the headline read, "Sa-Kaeo Brit 28 living in Thailand killed while making U turn on motorcycle".

From that heading, and using your "powers of deduction and your same reasoning" you would have to say that the 28 year old Brit died (and the fact that you purely used age as a reason for the accident), and this was definitely about age, although nothing in that heading suggests it?

 

As I said previously, the heading does not suggest age was the reason for the accident.

And a recent post by "gomangosteen" along with pictures, very strongly suggests that the Brit was in the right lane to do a U-turn, doing the right thing to do a U-turn and was hit by a car, which then carried on and hit a pylon, which severely damaged the car – – speeding perhaps?

 

I rest my case.

I don't need reading glasses and there is nowhere in that headline, that I can see, suggesting that age caused the accident.

 

In addition, another poster has suggested that the accident was caused at a gap in the central reservations where U-turns are permitted – – now if that is right, anyone can be subjected to dangerous/careless driving because those things are death traps.

 

I'll put on my "reading glasses", if you will put on your "thinking cap".

That "idiot" was standing in front of a barrier.

There would have been an accident one way or the other.

You didn't hear anyone screaming because he probably froze.

The FUSS is that so many elderly are having accidents at these U-Turns

It doesn't matter what age you are when you are sitting at one of these U-turns, because you are fair game to any hoon who isn't paying attention to the road, conditions, or traffic.

 

I do recall reading something from a regular poster here, Colin Neil, who was diligently waiting on his motorbike to make a right turn, when someone ran into him from behind and unfortunately the poor guy is now in a wheelchair and partially paralysed, and that is my main fear here when I'm on my bike, that some other idiot will cause me damage or my demise.

 

I use the motorbike for regular short trips around Patong, but some of these can be deadly, and the car for longer trips.

 

It's not about age it's about road safety, training, awareness and intelligence.

The headline reads

Sa Kaeo: Brit, 71, living in Thailand killed while making U-Turn on motorcycle

it's definitely about age, please put on your reading glasses.

I know what Gasohol means, also its uses and when and where not to use.

 

Can you answer the question? - Why is gasohol at the Shell petrol stations selling 95 Gasohol (ethanol) for 5 baht more expensive?

 

Let’s keep focused, no need for info regarding Canada, petrol strimmer / warrantee or other issues.

Gasahol95  is 26.75 at Shell.... is everyone else selling for 21.75 ?

Ok, it's clear that nobody can answer the question highlighted above as I'm getting many comments but only waffle, so i'll assume the answer.

Just curious?   outside of Diesel, is there a reason Shell particularly in Pattaya charges 5 baht more for 95 than the other filling stations? Is there something special about it?

There are two different types of 95. One contains ethanol, the other is straight hydrocarbon. All fuel manufacturers selling the hydrocarbon type charge more for it.

 

Nope, he is not asking about Benzine,

the question is about 95 ethanol.

 

SHELL V-POWER GASOHOL 95

"Gasohol" means it contains ethanol which can be 10% or 20%, not sure if that creates a price difference.

As far as I am aware only Thailand and Canada have widespread use of this type of fuel. The idea being that it keeps the engine clean by effectively wearing the metal away.

I have a petrol strimmer and the warranty prohibits the use of fuel with a higher than 5% ethanol content. I use Benzine, it is more expensive and becoming difficult to find.

I know what Gasohol means, also its uses and when and where not to use.

You are very lucky.

A few years ago a good friend of mine died, he was on the Sukhumvit opp. Tesco riding his motorbike home.

The truck driver was putting up signs for city hall at 11pm.

I was curious also.

Its 95 Gasohol.

The Shell on Pattaya Tai has closed off their 91 bowser for Motorbikes, I reckon they must be doing this as it is more profitable.

It's disappointing as it is my closest Petrol Station, been using it since 2002.

Back then it was a regular event to fill your tank without zeroing the bowser, geeze they go me many times.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

He was fined some time back by the Victorian Police for a driving offence.

I reckon they should return the money and demerit points (if any) for this decent act by Lewis.

The value of anything is what someone will pay. If the truck was purchased on finance the true owner is traceable.

The book is not related to the quality of, or value of the truck. Delinquent payments and level of maintenance do reflect on an acceptable purchase price though. It could be a potential steal for an informed person.

If the books whereabouts is unknown you cannot Tax or Register the vehicle.

You cannot drive it on public roads.

The vehicle is useless for anyone that's going to drive it on our roads, it worthless unless you want to enter it in a smash up derby or rally/race it on the track.
