I may stop if there are no cars behind me. You know why. I have often sat outside Tukcom, South Pattaya observing the zebra crossing there. I have never seen a rear end collision or any accident of any kind there. Cars stop when faced with the choice of stopping or hitting somebody. If they think the pedestrian will wait they make them wait. Motorcycle taxi drivers are the worst weaving in and out of the pedestrians as they cross. It's as if slowing or stopping was against the law. So yes I know why...you are as bad a driver as most Thais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don't forget all the brain dead driving their precious cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whomever is in the rear is at fault according to the police, regardless of the situation. The vehicle in the rear did not stop to prevent the accident. Which is why rear ending rarely happens in cases at zebra crossings. The drivers in front are just trying to make an excuse for not stopping.

The BIB could then send them a ticket..... Oop's I forgot, the ticket would be ignored and probably would not get paid. Too many pictures. Not enough trees to make the paper tickets.

mtls2005 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 A marked cross-walk should have a skull & bones sign? They should copy the Bolivian solution, although it would be hot in the costume and the dead zebras in the street might freak out younger children?
