Thankfully a quick end for the deceased. Looks like the car was going way too fast.

Dont be too sure about that, ever  seen the video of the guy in China  cut  in half  still  alive  conscious and speaking and he did survive, he  was  cut in half from the waist down.An incredible  tale of survival if  rather gruesome.

And the sad thing is his two passengers are critically injured the girl on the motorcycle is dead. Should be him that's dead.

MANY Thais wear no seat belt Wifes  sister actually  connects it to the  socket and sits  on top of it so it  appears its being worn, the  level of  stupidity never  ceases to amaze me.

Police arrested him, took him away and were now looking at the CCTV footage. 

Looking at the video he should be charged with murder.

If he really didn't see her then he wouldn't have braked and been skidding sideways.

Actual speed can be reliably estimated distance traveled.-fixed point-time. I say 150+ kph.

His point (I believe) is that the gov't appears to be going overboard in it's efforts to control the virus - while doing absolutely nothing to lessen the carnage on the roads.

It's been a common refrain on threads here since the virus crisis began.

No Thai drives at 80 kph except on his driveway.

Is that Civic an EG? They seem to be uniquely used by boy racers

"Uniquely" used by boy racers and then you link to a page showing many completely standard EGs that are clearly not boy-racer's cars?  Odd.  You don't know what "uniquely" means?

Which fixed points did you use for your calculation?

I see a lot of poor Thai drivers. This is a list of things I observed.

 

1. do U-turn suddenly

2. drive on opposite side of road

3. turn left suddenly to a petrol station even when there are motorcylists on its path that is coming very close.

4. go into main road suddenly even when there are motorcyclists on its path that is coming very close.

 

Thai drivers simply have NO patience in waiting for people to pass first.

 

I don't know why Thai transport give these people driving licence in the first place.

 

You know the Thai drivers mantra  ME FIRST  applies to the vast majority of them .

My missus often mocks me when she's a passenger and I'm driving. She says I'm like a bird. Always focused, looking around and checking my mirrors. In Thailand, you have to be ultra aware of your surroundings when driving. There's always some potential hazard. And so often you'll see people driving while looking at their phone.

 

Well-educated and experienced drivers don't make mistakes like going into the back of someone who's waiting to u-turn. They seldom make any mistakes.

For me it shows 9 of the first 11 cars as boy racer cars. I know what uniquely means - I'll change it to 'largely' if it will help you sleep better.

RIP to the lady. 

Note to self :
Do not ride bikes on main roads in Thailand. I feel a bit safer inside a car. Just a bit.

Some EG's are modified here, but none of those pictures are from Thailand. 

The car in question was travelling quickly and at high rpm. It appears that the car lost control before hitting the lady on the bike.

Almost all of them are modified. I didn't claim any of them were from Thailand. These ones are though, and again, almost all of them are modified:
