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.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinkingman Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Actual speed can be reliably estimated distance traveled.-fixed point-time. I say 150+ kph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkidlad Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. You don't know what "uniquely" means? 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.

balo Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't claim any of them were from Thailand.
