Yea prime candidate for a pass. It's just a lot of garbage. There is no way that thai people can afford the training needed for a license. Do they actually think that a couple of hours is good enough

Go to ANY school in Thailand and watch the students leaving. 3-4 on a bike, no helmets, seriously underaged drivers, with a cop stopping traffic so they can get out. 


It is a common occurrence for sure. But last year I saw something quite insane. There was a girl who must have been about 12 years old, wearing a school uniform riding a Yamaha R1 home lol..

Observation test:   

No helmet strap

No mirrors

No licence plates

Headlights blocked by shopping basket

 

     Anything else?

Licence plate clearly visible headlight clear of basket.2 out of 4 maybe you should get your eyes checked then try again.

Is it only the journalist, ...or is it, worse, the DLP, turning a blind eye on the reality...?

21 million registered motorcycles, minus 13.3 million people with a bike license, equals 7.7 million people driving without a license... 

That when:

a) there is a large number of un-registered motorcycles being used, mostly locally (especially away from large(r) cities and on the countryside), how many? The odd million or so? Driven by people with a license, ...or rather not?

b) most of the motorcycles (registered and unregistered) are used by several drivers, making how many millionS(!), of unlicensed drivers on top of it ...?!

So, IMHO, that little 'statistic' is totally worthless, and insidiously (or stupidly?) minimises the real problem!

Hopefully this may help save a life or two, but I have seen on numerous occasions students seriously injured (or dead) with wailing parents at the scene...hmmm...they were the ones who gave the kids the bikes and allowed them to go out on the roads untrained.

Checking that Tail and Brake lights are working properly.

Remember the lottery seller that won many millions, then she and her husband were killed riding a motorcycle upcountry.  RIP  No mention (I think) was ever made of working or non working tail lights.

How do you know it has no license plate? Bikes have license plates on the rear end.

Kids use smartphones to do their hair and pop their zits nowadays. 

Yeah, but often they're used to check leftovers from their meals using their mirrors.

Most of them have already been riding since the age of 12, and are convinced they already know everything.

Riding alone in a controlled setting,and riding with 1 or 2 friends on a freeway, is a completely different animal....but good luck, they will need it

Many probably do have have adequate basic motorcycle handling skills by their early teens. I certainly did, having started riding on the farm at the age of 10 or 11, and learned plenty from the school of hard knocks, softened by the odd tumble into a briar bush, or on to a softer surface than bitumen. Doing the practical test at low speed on the off road course is easy for most. What youngsters don't know is their own mortality, especially at higher speeds, the rules of the road, and dealing with traffic.

Why did he remove the mirrors?

In Thailand It is fashion or hip mainly for male youngsters to ride without mirrors. Anyway, mirrors are predominantly being used to redo the lipstick or to squeeze out pimples.

Yes maybe. 

But DLT Does it one on a bike.

 

Maybe some lessons on kerbside parking should be included.?
