Motorcyclist Killed in Collision with Turning Pickup Truck in Nonthaburi
Agreed... Without blindly adopting local driving methods its important we (riding and driving) adapt to local driving methods and as you mention - there is a significant laziness which which many approach their manoeuvre - cutting corners, but the biggest one for me is a reluctance to brake. I see most accidents occurring when both parties are refusing to slow or brake - IF only one of the parties had been sensible, the accident would have been avoided. One of the things I see here is people subconsciously 'broadcasting their intentions'... not by indicating etc, but their road positioning, their hesitation, the manner in which they allow their vehicle to drift etc.. (many indicators - not 100% accurate of course, but often a good enough indication to recognise what someone might do)... ... Wife will be driving and I'll say to her... Careful, that car is about to change lanes and cut you off... She won't see it, but somehow its possible to 'read' the interpretation of the other drivers intention. Of course - the worse one of the 'aggressive flashing of lights' as if to say... "Don't you dare pull out in front of me and make me touch the other pedal"... It seems many drivers would rather get 'close to a crash' than to have to apply a brake pedal or slow to give space. -
