so they should leave these people to die?

It's a good idea to read their policies - in fact I'd say that was a given. The problem is identifying the engine size of some of the rentals. Example - the Yamaha Nouvo. in standard form it is 110 cc whereas in liquid cooled form it is 135 cc. 50 to 110 cc is still the biggest category followed by over 110 to 125 the over 125 to 250cc category has increase dramatically in the last 5 years or so. I think the average m/c renter wll not identify the engine size of te vehicle they are renting.

Precisely......

You are arguing like a 7 year old... You're making up littl stories to try and back out of what is clearly a misogynist comment.

You are like others doing a "Russells Teapot" argument - you hven't got a case as you simply don't knoww even which model you are talking about.

So the establishment strikes bak! Corruption is a huge problem (or pastime?) in Thailand but it leads to incompetence in high places s people get jobs they don't have the skills for. If the case against the official collapses, it will be down to the incompetence of the police who may or may not have followed procedure. Anyone involved in cases involving corruption must be meticulous in prosecuting them and tick every box.

I think the fact that you have to sk says a lot more about you than anything else - read the original post he made. "Given the number of men that have had their lives destroyed by wives, are we supposed to sympathise with her?"

A problem arises in Thailand when renting a bike. ome of the newer strep-throughs are actually over 125cc so people may inadvertently be riding uninsured

that's a "Russell's teapot" argument!

This depends on the insurance company. Soe won't cover motorcycles - period Others may for an extra charge or it may be included. the next ting is what TYPE of M/Cs are covered. As I said earlier Staysure include it in their policy but only up to 125 cc and don't offer an extra option. So eve if you pay your ten quid, you may find you are only insured up to 125 cc.

Yes as I said earlier -- good boy!

so pretty much an incel then.....

Your list is from 2007! - As I said earlier Thailand didn't ratify until 2020. the problem is that there are different IDPs that relate to different treaties each successive treaty supersedes the one before. Up until 2020 you could argue that an IDP wasn't needed - "as I said earlier" - but now you would be well advised to have one as stipulated by the treaty. BTW - anyone on a non-imm visa for more than 3 months should probably have a Thai licence. Vienna Road Traffic Convention 1968 https://treaties.un.org/pages/ViewDetailsIII.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XI-B-19&chapter=11 Thailand ratified on May 1st 2020 Signed 8th November 1968 "Thailand will not be bound by article 52 of this Convention. "Thailand will consider mopeds as motor-cycles."

he is the one insulting ALL women

Your attitude in that post is not mitigated by claiming you are being labelled - try another - misogynist.

OMG! You're an incel!

This treaty is now superseded by the Vienna treat of 1968 which Thailand ratified in 2020. The UK licence is recognised by Thailand but now it really needs to be accompanied by an IDP, Before the EU / UK licence did have the right categories on it for the Vienna treaty and a photo and English language. In Thailand if you have been in the country for 3 consecutive months, you should get a Thai licence as even if your IDP and home licence are still compliant, it is very likely that insurance companies will withdraw their cover. You IDP is only valid as long as your home licence - so if you are banned at home , don't renew it or ir=t expires, so does your IDP - otherwise it lests for 3 years.

Yes "some years ago" - The Geneva treaty is now superseded by later treaties - the one now is the 1968 Vienna treaty - Thailand had signed up to that so it supersedes the Geneva treaty however they didn't RATIFY that treaty until 2020 this means that although in principle they were in principle agreeing with it, they didn't pass it into law until 2020. the 1968 Vienna treaty sets out the format for an IDP and the categories that it recognises... for instance, Thailand specifically doesn't recognise mopeds as a category - to them all 2-wheelers are motorbikes.

I think that kind of remark says more about yourself than anything.

Again you're clinging to a false dichotomy - E for enforcement is only one factor in road safety. OK you mention licences too - licenses - this comes under E for education - and a "test" is only part of driver education which should be life-long learning - but in most cases it is just the accumulation of bad habits. We also know tht until the last decade or so the US driving test in most states was a joke - in fact the Thai test isn't that bad - it's just avoided by many people. Try getting an American to reverse park a car without laughing. Thais tend to look on driving as a necessity - something for work and goods - cars are a recent addition. In America driving is seen a a right InEurope it's seen as a privilege. All result in a different attitude to driving. Picking out or clutching at single issues - driving laws, licences will never give you an overview of road safety anywhere - the figures that you seem to fail to understand are not individual cases or personal anecdote - tey involve MILLIONS of motorists very few of whom drive "recklessly" 0 iit is their normal behaviour that when gathered into statistics give you an overall picture of what is happening.. Remember the plural of anecdote is not data.

I think now you are just "sealioning" ... Again you make another false dichotomy - your really need to brush up your critical thinking skills. - Nowhere in any of my posts have I said anything like you are suggesting. - I'm explaining both why Thai death rate is so high and why most people on this thread don't understand why as they don't understand road safety Nowhere in any of my posts have I said anything like you are suggesting. - but the btuse resistance by the public, media and authorities to understand th road safety "Safe System" means that there can be no significant improvement in Thai road safey - this I have said at least once before on this thread alone. Your reasoning skills and prejudgements are leading your failure to understand the topic of road safety.

“The only possible explanation “ -?? Well first observation is you are making a false dichotomy – you are only using “E” for enforcement and not the other 4 Es……you are also being lead again by perception rather than reality. To get the figures – do the math. Road deaths per 100 k in each country – divide that down by vehicle type then compare – in fact I used cars and pickups in the USA and EVERY kind of vehicle except M/Cs in Thailand … Thailand deaths per 100k in 4- wheeled (private, buses and commercial vehicles etc) = 8.829 USA – deaths per 100k in 4 wheeled (private only) = 10.6 - [Insurance Institute for Highway Safety] The truth is that the USA has a very poor road death rate and vey high alcohol driving rate too. Just looking at the death rate alone it is 4 times that of UK and other EU countries. (6 times that of Sweden) and only a third of the death rate of Thailand. Unlike places like Europe, Australia and New Zealand the USA haven’t adopted the “safe System’. The motoring laws are enforced individually state by state the figures put then 4 to 5 time higher than the better nations in Europe.

You have no evidence to support that. TheCivic isn't just one model so you aren't even making a proper comparison so your conclusions are unfounded. Here is a test Civic crash test results for ASEAN https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/auto/cars-uvs/new-honda-civic-gets-five-star-rating-in-asean-ncap-crash-test/articleshow/87585753.cms

"my road" ????

clearly you didn't " "3rd sentence your previous post mentions UK 3rd party. Thats where I stopped reading"
