. . .who probably couldn't see the body in the dark and thought that they had just hit a bump or pothole. You surely aren't implying that they knew they had run over another human and didn't care?

Sorry, I forgot it happened in Thailand, where the use of headlights is infrequent.

The picture is not very clear. Are they wearing police uniforms?

 

No, but in normal Thai style they're 8 against 1, which shuould get their message through....

Well, comprehend this:

Because they only provide protection to the top of your head

That's what you said. Any professional sport I know of, have rules regarding safety equipment. So if those helmets are good enough for professional racing cyclists, I think you can safely use them.

Ah, cyclists falls/crashes with the top of their heads first. I didn't know this.

So i wished there were special heatgear helmets, like for the Tour de France cyclists. They have loads of openings for air.

Why not use one of them. The speed they are doing on their bicycles, must be at least the same, if not higher, than average speed on motorbikes (in city traffic).

The first step to decriminalization has been passed just recently, some give it three years but it could be sooner.

And it was only for medical use, not for the average Somchai. Guess there will be a lot of "sick" people visiting doctors.

No, they are compressed air tanks.

What's all this about the 'air' thing? The victims are not under water and I''m sure the divers know what they're inhaling.

Don't be too quick to condemn the motorists involved. Did the dead woman's bicycle have lights? 

She was hit by one "motorist" and afterwards run over by three other "motorists".

Your diluting the topic. If you read the full story you would realise this is not the only drug involved.

Correct, there was also an unfortunate road accident....

Must be some sort of electrical storm in the area that short-out all the brakes. 

Yes, that would be the thai explanation. However, it's all about their lack of reflexes (if you have done the DL test in Thailand and noticed the results of Thai people on the "reflex test", you'd know) and not keeping appropriate distance to the vehicle in front. Nothing about electric, apart from the signal from the brain to the muscular system/limbs.

From July 1 onwards, Thai authorities will step up inspections and other efforts to enforce the law. Migrant workers who are found to have violated the law will be subject to a fine of Bt5,000 to Bt50,000 per person. Violators would also be sent back to their home countries and cannot return for a two-year period.

And what about their employers, a slap on the wrist?

Ok. And the pool was 1.20 deep, so not safe. As posted by others; the kid's parents should be blamed.
