Rimmer Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Impatient motorcyclist killed by train PATTAYA:--A motorcyclist too impatient to wait for an oncoming train was killed by it in Pattaya.

His corpse was transported to Banglamung Hospital for his family to retrieve. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2020-03-08— https://www.pattayamail.com/news/impatient-motorcyclist-killed-by-train-290486 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaanbiker Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Before he made it to the other side, his motorbike was struck by cargo train 871 to Laem Chabang. His corpse was transported to Banglamung Hospital for his family to retrieve. He obviously took the wrong train. RIP, unknown car salesman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this very busy salesman in a rush drove around the lowered bars. Nothing can stop them. His family won't find it funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy John Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I had an old school chum die the same way back in Australia. Racing to get to work on the 11 pm shift he died at a crossing without gates but signs and flashing lights. He miss judged the sped and distance of the train. The tracks were at an angle to the road...which the coroner attributed to the accident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra clever salesman rode around a lowered barrier at a rail crossing! The sad thing is that at the age of 33, he probably already had spread his DNA.

Well, he didn't get to his destination. Only to the Final Destination, we all have to go one day. But hopefully not the same way. I doubt that we have a choice. Another lesson learnt. Being impatient can make you lose your life. I'd prefer to come and go at the same time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the 68 million Thai who waited, is alive. Except with a total population of approximately 69 million, it’s highly doubtful there are 68 million Thai drivers. I see it on a daily basis: Thais who can’t spend the extra two minutes to drive up to a U-turn but instead drive down the wrong side of the road; Thais who have a red light but can’t wait to make a left turn as traffic with a green light (i.e. the right of way) proceed through an intersection; and my favorite, Thais who just pull out of small sois and driveways without looking or slowing down because they just can’t wait. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
