Popular Post dunroaming Posted June 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2020 The fact that the woman driving the car hit the horn after the bike was long gone gives an indication of the response time she was working too. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bander Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Great acceleration on that scooter 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds. Faster than any bigbike I have seen. I bet she got away and not paid anything for that fender bender. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft question I guess - this is Thailand, BLDM - Bikers Lives Don't Matter. I’ve seen this with my wife. She’d rather have an accident to prove herself in the right than move to avoid a collision. Had this argument many times when it’s obvious what some idiot Is about to do but the missis won’t budge. Anticipation is not part of the Thai Highway Code. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dopey driver of the car made little or no attempt to avoid a collision. Bike rider clearly at fault for failing to look left for oncoming traffic while she tried to merge. DNA from the undies in police custody may offer some clues as to her identity. 'The DNA from the undies'. mmmm smells a bit fishy to me that idea!!! ???????????????????????????????? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatchinExPat Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I often see bike riders not check traffic. When at a intersection they just try and turn onto the little motorcycle lane, with checking. The thing is car and truck drivers often use that small lain to move over when driving slow or drunk or sleepy. It is a dangerous thing to just keep moving without checking traffic first. Thai drivers are a funny thing, they just can't stand to see an open slot in traffic. They have to have it even if they are going turn in 100 meters. Road space must never be wasted. You know I have never seen a cop stop a car for running a light or going to fast or any of 20 other driving infractions. Thailand has traffic laws but they seem to only come into play in assigning blame after an accident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post IAMHERE Posted June 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2020 I don't believe the motorcycle was merging, she wouldn't have slowed and moved into the zebra stripes like she did if she were merging. More likely cutting across two lanes of highway to get to the access road on the far left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seancbk Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 5 hours ago, Kasset Tak said: Look at the road, there are clear paint markings on the road, and if a motorcycle driver would have crossed like that in my home country the driver would have lost his/her drivers license, in UK the driver would have lost 3 points and a fine, in India 1000 Rupee and up to 3 month prison time... Then we have people who have been in Thailand too long and think that the car driver is doing something wrong... when the one driving the motorcycle is breaking the rules and crossed a no cross area and entered the lain at a point, about 50m before the road markings shows that she can cross between the lains, and caused the accident. Sure, there are many bad drivers out there, but I would not say that this car driver is a bad driver. It's 4 seconds from when I see the motorcycle until the collision, and the average reaction time for breaking is 2.3 seconds... and that for an object that appears right in front of you! My Thai colleague pointed out that the road the motorcycle came from does not allow motorcycles, so she was in the wrong before she even got to the car. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I wasn't there, don't know anyone that was, I didn't inspect the mechanical aspects of the car and didn't interview the driver or witnesses. It's been years since I investigated a traffic accident in my country of origin, and certainly never did one in Thailand. That being said, many seem to know many answers by the power watching a mere video and could apply for a know-it-all work permit. I'm happy I wasn't involved and that no one seemed to have been injured or killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft question I guess - this is Thailand, BLDM - Bikers Lives Don't Matter. Car driver should also have used the horn some seconds before the impact, to: "give audible warning of approach". Unfortunately only used it post "incident" and, as many do, to: "vent anger and annoyance upon another road user". It's designed purpose now apparently lost in Thailand..........erm.......and elsewhere. Edited June 24, 2020 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
