Death of a bike racer speeding on Bang Na - Trat highway

 

 

Police were called to KM marker 10 inbound on the Bang Na-Trat highway this morning when an 18 year old out racing motorbikes with a large group of racers met his end. 

 

Thai Rath reported a grisly scene of blood and brain matter after Kriangkrai Jianmaneechai hit a barrier. 

 

His Honda Wave was found 50 meters away after the accident on the central expressway section inbound. 

 

When his mother arrived on the scene she collapsed. 

 

The dead youth was a third year engineering apprentice. 

 

His girlfriend said that she was riding pillion on another bike.

 

Dozens of friends were out racing on the highway - including her boyfriend.

Perhaps the "large group of racers" that survived, should try a racetrack next time.

I feel sorry for her that she has lost her son like this .

 

Unfortunately , almost every day I see kids on bikes that are still not yet in their teens. No Licence , no helmet etc. 

 

If I were a parent I would not let my child on a bike until he was old enough to have a licence and had a decent helmet as a minimal requirement.

Too late, blame yourself for failing to educate your child.

[RotBenz8888]

They are causing serious danger to themselves and others, but seem totally unaware.  Send them to "the front" in Pattani for 2-3 years maybe that'll teach them something.

With my heart on my sleeve I say............................good riddance!

[darksidedog]

For a parent to lose a child is something incredibly painful. I tried with my kids to bring them up as sensibly as I could, which meant spending long hours talking about the dangers of driving like an idiot as fast as possible. While my heart goes out to her in her moment of loss, this boys mother would have done well to have done the same. And the same goes for every parent out there with a youngster running wild on a bike they don't really know how to control.

At least he didn't take an innocent with him.

This is heartbreaking... try as you might as a parent once a child enters their teens other influences often take precedent. This has to be every parents greatest concern.

 

These are kids from families... yet there will always be an element of schadenfreude in many posts as these kids are often a great nuisance. 

 

The Police have their work cut out... but the main issue is the Police don't do a great deal apart from a crack down on Vibhavadi once every 2 years and ever other year a crack down on Bang-na-trad... the net a few kids, confiscate a few bikes and walk away thinking their job is done.

I take it a step further...  As a parent I am doing my best to educate my child that bikes are dangerous unless ridden by someone with a lot of road experience, which means plenty of years driving first. 

 

The reality is we can do the best job possible to educate our children, but we can't make all their choices for them and teens can be extremely determined - as parents we have to hope we have guided them and educated them towards being sensible young men. 

 

There may be some failings as a parent, but how many of us were lucky in our late teens that we did not succumb to a car accident in our home countries? I remember racing round the lanes at age 17-18 years old - thats not through poor parenting, thats just teens been teens and perhaps a degree of poor policing.

some f   in heartless guys giving us a sermon over a death of an 18 years old young lad.

you were never young? if now then you had a really boring times when you were young. possibly in a church or a library full time?

accident happen, teenagers do crazy things. they race, they drink etc etc.

and when they die doing there, those dont make them stupid or brainless.

classic discriminating farang comments. same words are never said if the rider was murrican and if this happened in US.

there are still states in US which helmet us is not mandatory for example and lots of riders die.

and then going blaming the mom of this death youngster? what a douchebag kind of thinking.

Thank you.

Concur with all the above.

They do increase "performance"   being lighter and thinner,even better when pumped up to 80 PSI.

Where?  When I was a teen we did have sanctioned race tracks that were open for racing.  Here?  Really?  My guess is that if they had drag strips, then these kids would have an outlet instead to racing on the roads.

Sad waste of a life. Everyday from 6am to 10 pm, Thepprasit Road - Pattaya is a raceway for these mental midgets. No mobile police, no radar, no brains. 

[OneMoreFarang]

I guess he knew the risk but he thought he is invincible.

I also thought that when I was a little younger.

Death is part of the risk. Would he drive like that again? I would bet: Yes!

Yes,...most of us did stupid things in our youth and where lucky to come out alive,...Most of us also learned valuable lessons from our mistakes and stupidity's...hopefully...!?

You are thinking as a Western person. 

That kids parents would have been riding motorbikes with no helmets or safety gear as soon as they were able to stand up.

There are no risks involved in Thailand until its to late and then it doesn't matter.
