I think this is offensive to Fortuner drivers nationwide...   I did see one indicate once 

 

 

That maybe so but did he turn in the direction of the indicator or completely opposite ?

Seems like someone or group has spoken and advised the puppets that there will be no change in the foreseeable future to the way this country is controlled for the personal gain of the very very few

Agree with both comments... 

 

The Police enable these incidents through lack of enforcement. 

The Police are apathetic towards enforcement because it takes too much effort and causes too much conflict.

More like not enough money in it for them

You are quite right but just to be factual, you should point out the misleading information you are referring to.

There is a fine line between the term "suspended" and "temporarily scrapped".

The words the Immigration officer used were "not required anymore", we can only live in the hope that was an accurate statement.

Well maybe but I could never see the problem with them, over the years been to several countries where they are required or similar and never a hassle to fill in.  Now should they consider scrapping the 90 day reporting then that would be a different matter altogether.

I was at Bang Saray beach a few weeks back when a gang of what must have been twenty to thirty kids on motorbikes rode along shouting and singing. I swear the oldest among them couldn't have been more than twelve and there looked to be several not more than seven or eight. Strangest sight I've ever seen, like a mini Hell's Angels.

Perhaps they were the kids of those Kuwaitis recently caught for racing ????

Thank you, and the Wave ?? CC

We don't know the cc of the bike she was riding but I believe the Wave can be 110 cc or 125 cc

What is the age a person must be before they can have a licence to ride a "Motorcycle"???? if it is over 14 then that one is on the Father>

It was answered before but it is 15 years old but restricted to 110 cc

Good for him, better than fleecing people in his day job !

He probably does that as well as the RTP are not known for their professional integrity in general.

Just to be factual to avoid misleading information by others the TM6 has not been scraped.   It has been suspended. For how long we don't know as the government as yet has made no further announcement. There was a suggestion that perhaps in the future it may be cancelled if/or the relevant information can be obtained elsewhere but as yet it is only a suspension.

Thai visa express also do Uk passport application service, on their website 10,000thb all in.    https://thaivisa-express.com/can-a-visa-agent-help-me-get-a-new-british-passport/  

So why pay twice as much as necessary for a good agent ?

Here kids and parents consider them like a pedal cycle which would not raise an eyelid, the issue is parents allowing and encouraging 3 up and modified for there 10 year olds to use, but then crying when it all hits the fan.

Not forgetting of course that many Thais, not all, but very many never accept responsibility for their actions ( or inaction on behalf of the parents in this case ) and immediately accuse others of it being their fault, although in this specific case, as yet, I didn't read where the poor girls parents have blamed the truck driver - yet anyway.

Now 22; a 30 year old mother  of 2 passed away on Sunday.

How many more I wonder. Meanwhile the front man is out on bail I think and the real investors are wanting some money back by selling the restaurant. Sick bar stewards.

Rural Thai's (and likely many in the cities) don't care what the legal driving age is.  Since when has Thailand enforced any traffic laws with any hint of consistency?  Motorbike use by underage riders is more common than somtam throughout the country, it's ubiquitous, their way of life. 10 years old, no problem. 90 years old, no problem. No license, no problem (unless you make the news). Anyone living near a village will see more than a handful of underage children driving motorbikes (often with friends/siblings on board) to school each day. Some should not be on the road but that won't change for many families. So the real issue here, as its always been, is driver awareness training for both parents and children and enforcement of safety rules, both lacking now. I don't see the enforcement of age/license rules (in rural areas) happening anytime soon.

Unfortunately you are so right.

ใบขับขี่รถจักรยานยนต์ ความจุไม่เกิน 110 ซีซี.  ต้องมีอายุ 15 ปีขึ้นไป

Motorcycle driver's license with a capacity not exceeding 110 cc. Must be 15 years of age or older

 

The internet is a wonderful thing.

Its good to point that out as simply quoting the minimum age without the cc restriction is very misleading and could actually lead to law breaking if it was taken at face value.

determined both by the speed of the truck, which appears slowing according to the driver

You say 'according to the driver, but I have read the article a few times and I cannot find the part were he says that he was slowing down.

What he did actually state was that he braked coming to a halt.

 

Perhaps you can explain to us all here then as he stated he braked, coming to halt then how come that was not a slowing down motion ? Perhaps your laws of Physics are different to the rest of ours ???? Or conversely tell us all how a vehicle in motion can come to a halt without slowing down  ????????

Seems a lot of damage to the front of the truck . If the driver was breaking then there would be less damage than is showing .

The level of damage would be dependent upon the impact force, determined both by the speed of the truck, which appears slowing according to the driver ( which naturally he would say but I suspect may not be the truth given he was on a delivery ), but no info on the speed of the motorcycle. When will parents stop giving their children a death sentence by allowing them to drive anything underage, let alone motorcycles.  Also crash helmets seem unnecessary. RIP to the girl as it is tragic for any youngster to lose their lives, especially so when they are completely avoidable, as is often the case when the parents are irresponsible and negligent in their duty of care to their children.

Hypocrisy thats why. 

Firstly I have no interest in the Muslim faith and to me it ranks equally as bad as all so called faiths in this world.  All that has ever done is a create a world full of bigotry to one another. Having said that you clearly do not understand what being a Muslim means nor how they consider those that do not follow their faith. Therefore their values are completely different to yours in some areas perhaps, so it is not hypocrisy on their part at all.  Hypocrisy comes into play when you are ignorant of their values and think their values should be the same as ours. Just because you, others or Santa Claus consider the way they act as not in keeping with your values it does not mean they are contriving their own code of moral conduct when it involves sex with non Muslims. As much as you despise the way some of them act just consider that for most of them they think that for you to wipe your bum with your right hand, the hand you eat with, is equally as disgusting.

What is wrong with that???

Do you want the whole list or just the top 10?

What is wrong with them having different values to yours ?  You think your own views and values are the ones the entire world should follow, are you that much of a bigot ?
