The big problem with the foreigner driving motorcycle and scooter is the lack of verifications of the driving permit by the renting company. I used to rent in the past scooters in Pattaya and Chiang Mai, I doo have my driver permit from Canada with the motorcycle class valid and also the International driver permit also whit the class of motorcycle. Every time i wanted to show my driving permit to the renting company they refuse to see it. By doing so , they dont want to know if you have the permit for motorcycle. The government must do something to have the rental company to be responsable if they rent a motorcycle to someone not alowed to drive it. Rental company always want to have a copy of your passport ,they should also take a copy of the driving permit. If they fail to do so they should face a big fine. If hey do this you wont see so much foreigner driving motorcycle, and the road will be more secure for all. If you try to rent a scooter or motorcycle in Canada, USA or Europe with no motorcycle driver permit it will be impossible.
