  1. Motorcyclist was 100% at fault, the car driver edged out slowly, and waited to join the flow of traffic, the bike drove into the car.

    An easily avoided accident on the part of the motorcyclist, the rider simply had to look ahead and slow down WHEN YOU SEE A CAR BLOCKING YOUR LANE!

    I look at it and you are 100% right the bike should have miss the car slowly coming out I would say the bike rider was not looking ahead.

    I think you both should learn traffic rules !!

    This car was " pressing out to the flowing traffic !!

    The car was not allowed to push into a the flowing traffic,

    if it was hindering a bike or a car

    - for example to brake to leave the car to enter the main advancing road !!

    The embassy car had to wait until there was no car or bike coming along close to the crossing !!!

    And here in the actual real world, you know very well there are ZERO gaps in traffic to do as you suggest.

    The car driver waited for a while, then slowly edged out when there was a slight gap, a white vehicle went past and that followed a a couple of seconds later with the bike ALSO trying to edge past but had nowhere to go to.

    If the bike rider was looking (or even using the few brain cells she had), she easily had time to avoid the accident. Impatience and stupidity (on the bike riders part) caused the accident, by not slowing down and going for a gap that was no longer there and a gap that anyone with a brain cell could see would close.

  2. Real stupid to steal coconuts but the owner of the plantation is nuts too. Steal 138 million and you can go out on bail even host a TV show again. Steal 3 coconuts and you have to wait your trial behind bars.. hmmm fair justice.

    This shows just how <deleted> up and skewed the legal system here is. Disgusting. And no one will change anything.

  3. Why the heck did the pick up suddenly stop in the outside lane?

    A similar thing happened to me on the Bangkok-Pattaya highway once. I was lucky, but 3 or 4 cars ended up being smashed.

    Yes, a crash helmet is essential. I saw a guy at a motor-cross fall and get hit by another bike. He had a huge chunk ripped out of his helmet, but he got up and walked away.

    That was enough to convince me.

    Pickup stopped because of the other cars waiting to u-turn.

    A common enough occurrence here and easily avoided with a little common sense and forward thinking ... both of which seem sorely lacking in most drivers I see on the roads here.

  4. He's not wrong about this draft, but PT still can't accept they did anything wrong during their tenure it seems.

    Also it is unfortunate that many as yourself cannot accept that all sides have done something wrong during their tenures. Little weeds like the current leadership grow healthy and strangle all while everything around is preoccupied with stupidity.

    As I never wrote anything in my original post about other "sides" not sure how you can say that I can't accept that all sides have done wrong. I've actually said that myself on numerous occasions.

  5. He's not wrong about this draft, but PT still can't accept they did anything wrong during their tenure it seems.

    And they never will admit it. It is not their way of thinking that it is even remotely possible their party members could do wrong.

    And it's why we are constantly going around in circles year after year after year, hitting the reset button but learning and changing nothing.

    "face" needs to be banned as a concept.

  6. Again? How many times is this now? lol

    Guess the "military" aren't very good "teachers" ...

    I guess this criminal demagogic guy needs a stronger kind of attitude adjustment

    In all fairness, he was criticizing the supreme patriarch nomination (permission to screw the gullible over ruthlessly) and the junta mishandling of it all at the time, so I'm kinda with him on this one.

  7. Yes, apologies, it was 800, not 3,000 ... none of whom were checked by more than a quick manual frisk, no x-ray's, no immigration checks, and I can't imagine their baggage was thoroughly checked either.

    Are you saying that metal detectors and x-ray machines shut down in a show of solidarity when the immigration computer crashed ?

    Seriously though these were arriving passengers. All checks would have been done prior to arrival except immigration checks.

    The main electrical supply to the airport was off (they had 2 days prior warning of this), and the backup generators did not work (cos no one thought to check, you know, just in case cos the electric might go off), ergo, all electrically powered devices (such as metal detectors and x-ray machines) were not working, what's so hard to understand about that?

    They were using <deleted> candles for <deleted> sake!

  8. Anything to do with the 3,000 odd people who walked through "immigration" a few days ago without being checked?

    Could you elaborate, was not aware of that?

    Cheers

    Slight exaggeration and loose facts.....
