webfact Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Man and woman put child’s life at risk for entertainment By The Nation A man and a woman, presumably the parents of a toddler that they took on a precarious motorbike ride, have been slammed by Thai netizens. A clip of the couple riding a motorbike with their baby in the bike’s basket was posted on the Red Skull Variety Facebook page. In the clip, the couple appeared to find the “experiment” entertaining, though the woman kept telling the man to be careful. The man drove the bike for nearly four minutes, and stopped when the baby nearly fell out of the basket. The clip provoked many condemning comments from infuriated netizens.

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted June 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2020 What can you say?.... On Thailands roads I see examples of extreme <deleted>wittery on not only a daily basis but multiple times per day. It’s a shame and its wrong that a whole nation can be tarred as idiots when we see the actions on Thailands roads, however, however, when idiocy such as this is widely spread how else is an onlooker to think? Education of the dangers and effective policing are critical in reducing the road deaths, however, we all know that no one in positions of decision making power care enough to do something about these issues. The outcry on social media is short lived and we are numbed to the galactic stupidity by the sheer volume of stupid stuff going on around us. Topping it all off: In a few months we’ll be reading of Politicians patting themselves on their backs after the Road Death toll has been successfully reduced, of course, this will not be attributed to the reduced road use during lockdown. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that a few times around here, but the one that really got me was the lady who was holding a baby AND an umbrella at the same time! It is just astonishing how many simultaneous risks some people take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonray Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 My favorite was the guy who pulled up to swap out his empty propane tank with a new one....strapping his toddler to the tank and securing the tank to the bike. The scariest part was that no shop personnel or bystander even batted an eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDfella Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yes I agree with others here, it is common to see babies and young children on m/c in precarious positions, at least in the early parts of the day. I have seen them ride by policeman and nothing is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
