Although the Honda Wave is a close relative of the SuperCub, which was designed by Mr Honda to be ridden one-handed by noodle deliveries boys - but he meant that the right hand should be on the bars to control throttle and brake, while the left hand carries the noodles. I've tried riding one handed on my bike SuperCub - and I steer like a drunk circus bear, so I'm quite impressed with her skills, if not with her judgment.

Kurtf Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Non enforcement of driving laws is the Thai version of population control. Every time I go out driving in my pickup, I see stuff like this and wonder how amazing it is that I see such complete stupidity from an entire society.

0815 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 This vdo shows a woman who is able to control her bike quite well. For sure helmets are missing, that's right. But i can't agree that bcoz of driving like her many people die on Thailand's roads. I guess the dangerous weapons here are called Pickup truck, truck, mini-van, bus... Handled by "drivers" without any feeling of responsibility for other road users who are not really able to control their king size cars. If you did ever travel around Thailand on a big bike, you will know what I am talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitnessHealthTravel Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 If you look in the side mirror you can see a huge vehicle behind the car filming. If she happened to survive the fall off the bike she and her child world certainly die from the other vehicles. The worst part about this for me is I may run over one of these idiots one day and I have to live with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmaxv Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 If asked, I doubt the woman would say she values her text conversation more than the life of her child. She's just ignorant, and it seems that wherever one goes a person w/a cell phone exhibits all kinds of ignorance worldwide. We can send a person to the moon but can't find a way to first educate people re: safe driving and second stopping such acts of child endangerment??? Really?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that there is a lack of consequences for making such poor decisions (apart from death and disablement). No helmet? No problem....but you won't be covered by insurance in the case of an accident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing there’s no money to be made out of the Thais ?! What about the rich Thais and there’s tons of them around showing off their cars and or their motorcycle not having a clue on how to drive/ride responsibly ! Lastly, regardless of the fines why doesn’t the police enforce their sort of traffic laws?! I keep wondering if they even have any laws that applies to Thai people ? There's an easy give-away that a rich Thai is in a car and must therefore be left alone. They have blacked-out windows. Which are illegal but well, you know..... As for why the police don't enforce the law, they get paid anyway so why work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
