freedomnow Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 What kind of speed do you have to be going to die in a head-on collision...mainly over 30kmph ? Or it just depends how you hit the vehicle I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post brokenbone Posted March 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2019 the minivan made a U-turn and didnt mind cutting off a motorcyclist while he was at it. why isnt the concept of right of way implemented and taught under penalty of nut-busting ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a helmet 30 km/h is more than enough if you are unlucky. On the other hand you can fall at 80 km/h, slide over the tarmac and get away with bruises.

It can be enough to fall off a standing MC, if you hit your head on the tarmac. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike787 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 As I was recently enlightened by an advanced member when I made an inquiry as to the extreme stupidity and inconsistency when trying to open a bank account here. NOTHING, absolutely nothing you/we can do. This is life in the "Thunder dome". To the Thais, It does not matter how unhappy you are, this ignorance "WILL" continue at all costs/consequences. You and I only need to make one easy choice: stay or leave.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedomnow Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Yes, actually that happened to me, but luckily helmet on. Idiot came up wrong side of a lane and though going about 20km/ph the slam like a door closing when the front wheel slid out had me seeing double...got the usual grinning idiot 'oh sorry, sorry' and lived to see another day thanks to that helmet.

True...................that happened to a friends son when he fell off his pushbike. Cracked his skull on the kerb and died. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
