From the article in the Mirror: "Oraya called for help and staff began performing CPR but by that point, Mr Swain had already stopped breathing." Guaranteed not a one of them has a clue about how to perform proper CPR, if they did they would know to continue until emergency services arrive and take over. If the heart stops, about four minutes in the brain will die due to a lack of oxygen so it is imperative to keep the pumps going to get oxygen to the brain even though the victim is not breathing. AED on the premises? Not a chance.

This is because they don't have the skill to look the other way when turning and moving in the other direction. A basic skill essential to safe bike riding and 99% of them don't have it. This is especially dangerous if you are turning right across the left lane into traffic. That's why they don't look when turning left or shoot out when turning right, or another common tactic when turning to the right is turn anyway into the left lane and try to filter in from the right. They simply don't know what they are doing.

Crash helmets (or lack of) are the best money earners though, followed by no tax and then no license. They couldn't really enforce anything else as they don't understand the road rules themselves, and actually patrolling to spot offenses and pulling over motorists means actual work. The objective is to make money, not to actually improve road safety.

From watching the video, it appears he was speeding and probably did not have the experience or ability to control his vehicle to avoid the collision.

Prayut to find Thai workers to fill Saudi labour shortage
Mr Meeseeks replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They definitely know something we don't. Maybe the Thais have returned some of the real jewelry, maybe even given the Saudis an official 'off-the-record' apology. -
It's been on the cards for some time. Can only see it getting worse too. I got pelters on here back in 2018 for suggesting it was reticent government policy to reduce the number of long stayers in Thailand over the next few years. Looks like I was right and even without COVID that is over a 50% reduction in retirees.
