I think you are correct. Most frontage roads I've seen are (supposed to be) one way... (but that's not to say they are always driven as such). In this case, the motorcycle was going against the correct flow, and the truck driver wasn't expecting anyone coming from his left (although it looks as if a minibus also considers it 2-way). As a motorcyclist, you should always be aware of other traffic since you are most likely to come off worse, whether you are driving "correctly" or otherwise.

puukao Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 who cares. the person on the bike was the only one who might get killed, so they needed to get out of the way. if i'm walking and a train is about to crush me, i don't think, "hey, if i get hit i'll blame the train." then the truck driver did a hit-and-run, so also to blame. fine both 100 baht, then deport 10 farangs and fine them 10 million. select farangs based on tattoos, brand of cigarette, and how many bars they visited before noon. that narrows it down to 100 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoMill Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Truck is wrong since the bike had right of way. Wife is a lousy driver because 1) she lacked anticipation and 2) she was on the fast lane. Truck driver tried to run away, no excuses for that. Whenever I hit people in my car I always see if i can help before I drive off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlkelley Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It looks like the motorcycle had the right of way on the road. The truck should have watched for cross traffic before crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyFriend You Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I just love the way the Geese handled the situation, one walks over to the other and says "Hey did you see that??? Yep, idiot motorbike guy didn't stop for that big truck, he wasn't going that fast, cuda stopped if he wasn't talking on his phone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huayrat Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 If that road next to the house was one way in the same direction of the major road then the motorsai is at fault if not the Truck is to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myran Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Truck is obviously in the wrong. He was cutting across the road, and thus it is his responsibility to make sure the way is clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDog Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Clearly the trucker is wrong for the reasons many have already mentioned. That said, it seems obvious to me that neither party is paying proper attention. The motorcycle took no evasive maneuvers at all. They were both essentially asleep. The whole thing is sad. And being right doesn't mean you don't pay a price. If you are anywhere near a road in Thailand, regardless of your method of locomotion, keep your head on a swivel or you will meet the pavement in a violent and painful manner sooner or later. This is a three dimensional problem. Watch the skies too! Flying motorcycles and/or drivers are not unheard of in LOS. Of course pay proper attention to the road surface as well. Actually, best to just not go near a road! ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
