True, my neighbors teenage son talks like a retard because his social/communication skills have been honed by a computer and cell phone (mostly games) it's hilarious to attempt a conversation with him.

 

Meanwhile, his award winning parents are oblivious as they are both Facebook zombies as well.

Meh, at least they are active vs being a sloppy sloth.

Your post made my day, thank you.

I'm wondering to don't see more incident like that, so many people use the mobile while driving!

we share the roads with these people

Yet it's our fault if something happens 

I find the most amazing part of this story is that 'Netizens' were calling him an idiot when 99.9% of them all drive like this 

i see this everyday....how can anyone even assume to be able to drive a motorbike whilst chatting or in some cases even facetiming..... i use my phone obviously alot too but i feel many people just like to hide behind their phone because they have nothing to say. its the death of real life interactions. i also blame most of the traffic problems on the fact that literally everyone especially in cars is hooked to their phones and dont oay attention... just check out sukhumvit road in the morning 

Thailand government to Thai population!

Do not talk on the phone or text while driving!  This is one of the many millions of rules or laws that one must follow here in the LOS! 

This is the best we can do it is Thailand honor system which we know doesn't work, what works is ENFORCEMENT with EDUCATION!

 

Also notice that there's a driveway literally a meter from where he stops that would be perfect for moving the bike out of the oncoming traffic he still parks it in the street.  This is such a typical behavior that makes me think that nobody here is aware that all effort should be made not to obstruct moving traffic when one is parking or even making a short stop.  i see it all the time.  cars and bikes just stop where they were to conduct their business and screw everybody behind them.  no consideration for anybody else whatsoever.  very tiring.

Did the guy take the photos before or after he ate the sandwich?

 

until you have more evidence, he is the dipshit of the day....prove it to me that the kettle is black...

Currently in British Columbia if you get two "distracted" driving tickets it will cost you $1,256 dollars and it is soon to go to $2000. That would really hurt most folks.

Notice how he slides his phone back in his pocket straight away... 

Nice try sonny but dash cams and stupidity are here to stay :)

 What is more remarkable than his presence of mind to hide the phone quickly, is his ability to hang on to his phone throughout the whole incident. This small piece of skill aside, he's just another proper idiot.

Seriously? You know they're listening to music right.

Normal behavior on the roads in Thailand.

 

 

 

Actually, quite normal on the roads in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia too. I drive there frequently, and it's becoming more and more regular to come across a car which driver seems unsure of where he/she is going, wavering and tentative, straddling the while lines, braking intermittently when the road ahead is quite clear and/or sudden increase or decrease in speed. If you get to overtake these idiots, chances are you will see they have their damned faces buried in their damned smartphones. I only wish they will hit something - only not another car, motorcycle or pedestrian. A tree or a huge boulder would be a good start.

 

 

If the government promoted this sort of thing it would be so much better for everyone of us.

since one less bike or user on any road improves things for everyone else.

 

I have a business proposition for someone, I need something that will automatically ring and text every mobile device around me.  Would be so great for traffic jams.

ITS a worldwide problem. There’s carnage on Australian roads too. And recently, a 10 ft tall waving Darth Vader was mostly unnoticed on a busy US thoroughfare as folks were glued to their screens whilst Walking.

Talking of 'heads down' as in the article heading, I was reading awhile back, that pedestrians in Japan are walking around 'heads down' so much that they are colliding with each other on the sidewalks.

 

Authorities are now considering putting 'walk/don't walk lights on the pavement at zebra crossings, so that the 'heads down society' can see them without looking up!

 

Oh, just how sad does it get?

 

Spending all day on TVF maybe!

To bad the guy behind the motorcyclist wasn't on his phone also.

A miracle 

At least he is safer than the bloke with family riding with umbrella up smoking a fag and on the phone i spotted a few weeks ago if he is still alive! 

quel con.............

Yeah, but he bought a 'read the phone and drive in safety amulet' from the temple.

They should have put a tall waving nerd with an assault rifle for those nutters and see who noticed.

But on the flip side,, isn't this natural selection or attrition at its best? For all that the world's nanny govts try to protect us from ourselves, we are still masters of our own demise.

I remember a few months back on superhighway a rider and pillion pulled up and I realise both females were glued to their phones. I let them have the highway to hell first.
