webfact Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thai road safety: Yet more motorcyclists strangled by hanging wires Thai caption: Cable yanked his neck Thai media has reported on several more cases of people on motorcycles being strangled by wires hanging over Thai roads. The latest cases did not result in death but were a warning to others and a wake up call for the authorities to act, said 77kaoded. In Chonburi a motorcycle taxi rider called Muangmon Jansri, 48, suffered road rash and neck injuries. He said that a cable got wrapped three times round his neck throwing him to the tarmac. This was confirmed to reporters by a restaurant owner at the scene. Picture: 77kaoded Pictures revealed damage to his body, clothes and bike. Meanwhile in Samut Prakan a 15 year old student on his way home from school was lucky to escape serious injury when another cable got tangled round his neck. Chanin "Petch" Ampha was riding pillion on the back of his aunt's motorcycle in the Tha Chalom district. He suffered strangulation marks to his neck but was not otherwise seriously hurt. Thaivisa notes that hanging wires represent a considerable hazard in Thailand especially to motorcyclists and pedestrians. There have been many cases of death and injury of people on motorcycles as well as electrocution of pedestrians. A multi million baht project has been underway in Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai and other Thai cities to bury the cables. But the vast majority remain a hazard to the public and an eyesore that blights Thailand. Several years ago Microsoft founder Bill Gates shamed the Thais with holiday snaps of the wires prompting action. But much more needs to be done to solve the problem than simply beautifying the capital and tourists areas of the kingdom.

ThaiPauly Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 We had a cable for God knows what hanging outside our front gate a while ago. As I have no idea who it belongs to I got a boy to put it up in the trees where it can do no harm to any humans that don't try and break into my property. They could possibly get a shock if they did, or maybe a free true programme...who knows????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2019 Best way is to use a system known all over the world as deterrence. If they fined the companies who hung the wires a million baht per offense, it would stop overnight. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonhia Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thai road management, road furniture, design, safety, law enforcement, awareness, respwct for others, law abiding individuals which includes those idiot foreigners riding around without wearing a helmet, vehicle safety, stray animals, egos, impatient idiots with that 'look at me' attitude, plus much more, all need addressing, not forgetting taxi, tuk tuk, bus, coach, lorry, 10 baht so called death trap make shift pickup buses, pickup ambulances, school pickup death trap buses used to transport students, the majority of road users including the police with attitude that set very bad examples to others! In a nut shell, the whole shooting match! Thank goodness for strict law enforcement plus health and safety in other civilized countries unlike care free I do what I want and like Thailand.

Airbagwill Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 This story illustrates how Thailand;'s appalling road casualties are not solved by simplistic attacks alleging Thai people are just bad drivers. The reality is that the DRIVING ENVIRONMENT on Thai roads is just not up to standard. Accidents in countries with developed road systems still happen but dnt result in the injuries and deaths that occur in Thailand - until the nation looks at the way they construct monitor and design the road systems they will never reduce the tragic road safety figures that so blight the nation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see the connection here with road design and the problem associated with this accident, it had absolutely nothing what-so-ever to do with road design. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
