Redline Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 If you pull out into traffic, and you don't look, you deserve to die. Maybe, since one of the major issues is the afterlife, the survivors that suffer for the rest of this life should be focused on~burned, brain damaged, limbless...otherwise they just think it's funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notasmartassknowitallfarag Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Really sad story about the 19 year old on a brand new mopad. Crushed to death by an idiot in a pick up truck. Thai roads won’t change for at least another 30 years plus when the country becomes more affulent and funds can be poured into this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ridiculously dangerous to just cross a roadway. Am guilty of stopping but ignoring traffic behind me which won't stop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxYakov Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) A merge gone bad. Trying to figure out what the road designer's intent was to merge the traffic into the main road. In the USA, there probably would have been a stop sign for the side road traffic. Then I realized that Thailand doesn't have many stop signs. Then it dawned on me: Thai motorists, particularly motor bikers, do not like to stop or be stopped! And they've gotten used to non-stopping merges and have gotten pretty good at it. However, IMHO, non-stopping merges can cost more in accidents, as is illustrated by this fatal accident.

lvr181 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Just don't be dogmatic about asserting what you believe are your lawful rights - give way and live! As a VERY longtime motorcyclist it worked for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thailand is and will always be a third world country, at least in my life time. I do not expect this country to get below the top worst 5 countries in the next 15 years. Carry on and please keep all those gross pictures coming in the news.. us bored old forum readers need our daily fix of death. (Sarcasm) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I cross Sukhumvit Rd in front of the police box at Soi 4 & see all the time red light dashes & not stopping for pedestrians when turning left. The BIB have 8 cameras in the police box to witness this & could even if they wished, look outside the window. What do they do,,,,,,,,,,,, nothinjg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you have the cops in the box do? I'm sure the video (assuming the cameras work) would be accessed only if there were a fatal accident or some other interesting event (such as a man punching out his GF). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are only interested in the road ahead. Anything to the side or behind is another drivers problem. Its not the truck drivers fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overwhelmingly hyper intelligent riposte. Stick to the salient points. You are too feeble to retract your absurd unsubstantiated accusation that I hate an entire race. I do not patronise. However, if I ever gave your vacuous words anything more than a modicum of attention I probably would patronise you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
