Just Weird Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 9 hours ago, KhaoNiaw said: According to the Thai news reports I've read, the other 3 vehicles rear-ended first, when the first vehicle braked suddenly when it saw the cops, and he was the last one to come in at the back. Apparently, the checkpoint is located at the bottom of a hill and not easily visible from distance. Local people quoted in the news said that they have complained about this checkpoint before. Also that immediately after the accident, the cops removed the checkpoint and left the guy's friends to try and do the best they could while waiting for the emergency crews to arrive. I don't really understand why you've posted that to me...is that your justification for another poster's blaming the motorcyclist alone for his own death?

You didn't use those words but your first comment suggested it and didn't exactly exonerate him..."Straight road, No problem. He could see the checkpoint 200 meters away, but he didn´t see the car he drove into". "You are beeing very annoying and irrelevant in your replies. That's only your misspelled opinion, which is irrelevant to me, but which you are entitled to just as much as I am entitled to post the way I want to and nothing that I have said in this thread is irrelevant. Everything you say is irrelevant. At least to me. For the future: You are officially ignored. Have a nice weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre right about the attack, sorry. And I do also feel the same, it made sense to me when I wrote it, however it may have been in error, but I just can't be bothered to check. ?

TEFLKrabi Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I think we accept and understand stopping distances but every time you leave a decent gap in front, someone pulls into it. At that rate you’d end up driving backwards.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO excuse for running into the rear of the vehicle in front of you. It is negligent driving. Full stop. The most common rear end shunt in the UK occurs when the lady in front of you at the roundabout, correctly looking to her right, moves away at the gap. You pull forward slowly, correctly looking to your right. and BANG. She changed her mind and stopped. Those of us who drive a lot, have a different perspective on the real world, and not just the idealised world of the Highway Code. Full stop.

If you don't, up to you as they say... Did you bother to read all that I wrote? Please read again points 4, 5, and 6. Driving in Thailand is DANGEROUS. We know this because of the incredible number of people who die on the roads. Unlike the well ordered roads of many countries, here we are often faced with multiple unexpected hazards all within an instant, and highly unpredictable behaviour. It's far to simplistic to say 'maintain a safe distance' as if that alone is going to ensure you don't have an accident in Thailand (a country where, for example, overtaking on blind bends / summits, or head on into opposing traffic, is commonplace).
