IF the cameras are working; IF a member of Pattaya Plod can remain alert enough to watch a video; the odds are it was not the fault of the Thai motor cycle driver - he has no money. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted May 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2019 Looks like the motorcyclist was trying to undertake the turning bus. Happens all the time when I'm turning left... Indicating, making it pretty obvious that I'm turning left.. but have to slam on the breaks when a motorcycle still tries to squeeze through on the inside left or is riding down the pavement across the junction... Many motorcyclists are simply unaware of how often the bigger vehicles 'save' them from their own stupidity. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a vehicle has to cross lanes to turn it is too big for the junction. But yes, undertaking is something to watch for here wrt motorcycles. I am glad you look, I do too in the truck. Sadly not all do. I also ride a bike. All too often a car comes to a junction well clear of the kerb, then cuts across that gap to filter in, wrong!

The barrier that has been put up around the World Gems corner (inside when turning off Beach Rd onto South Rd at WS Entrance) will deter people trying to cross and protect foot traffic being churned up under coach wheels!
