"Big Biker" slams into Myanmar pedestrian before crashing into roadside restaurant

 

Picture: 77kaoded

 

A pedestrian from Myanmar was seriously injured crossing the road in Bang Plee yesterday evening. 

 

A 300 cc Kawasaki plowed into tables at a pork leg restaurant on the footpath before coming to rest in front of a sign.

 

Police and Poh Teck Tung foundation rescue staff and medics attended the scene in Klong 9 near the end of Soi Jongsiri.

 

They found Hai, 24, unconscious with a head wound in the middle of the road.

The rider of the motorcycle that 77kaoded called a "big bike" was 29 year old Wira who suffered road rash and other injuries to his body.

 

He appeared to have been wearing a helmet that was pictured on his bike after he and the pedestrian were taken to area hospitals. 

 

A motorcycle taxi driver said that every evening foreign workers would cross the road to the market and the victim was one of these. He had been somersaulted into the air by the impact.

Police hope CCTV can inform their investigation as to what happened. 

 

Thailand is about to introduce more stringent testing and licence requirement measures for what are termed big bike riders. Though recent reports suggest that the new regulations will refer to bikes of 400cc up, notes Thaivisa.

I hope the pedestrian from Myanmar recovers from his head wound.

 

I couldn't help noticing the other body reference:

What does the persons nationality have to do with the accident. Purely a way to sensationalize the story. MC hits pedestrian who illegally crossed the road outside of a zebra crossing. There fixed it.

[ChipButty]

If he had a Big Bike license this wouldn't have happened

[Blue Muton]

Even if a 300 were a big bike, sitting on one does not a big biker make.

For what it's worth, vehicles don't stop for pedestrians at zebra crossings. At least in Jomtien they don't. Agree nationality should be irrelevant

In Thailand a guy paints white lines in the middle and down the sides of the road, if he has some paint left over, he paints a zebra crossing. That's the significance of it!????

[Bender Rodriguez]

yeah, people from other countries overhere people BRAKE for pedestrians 

[Crusader]

Like a lot of drivers in this country...the only thing they seem to be able to do is go fast in straight lines.

[cardinalblue]

Simple - lack of pedestrian infrastructure is a place to start

Who says he was Illegally crossing the road? I can't see any reference to his being outside a zebra crossing.

nah uh they is Myanmar

 

Myanmar nationality law currently recognizes three categories of citizens, namely citizen, associate citizen and naturalized citizen, according to the 1982 Citizenship Law. Citizens, as defined by the 1947 Constitution, are persons who belong to an "indigenous race", have a grandparent from an "indigenous race", are children of citizens, or lived in British Burma prior to 1942.

Enacted by: Government of Myanmar

 

Burmese is an ethnic classification one of over 135 distinct ethnic groups. Do not confuse the Two. My GF is Ethnic Karen but her nationality is Myanmar.  Call her Burmese at your own peril.

Your wiki link provides none of that information. This wiki leak does and names all 135 groups. None are called Burmese because that is the generic name for people from Myanmar.

Nationality is where you come from and has nothing to do with ethnicity.  For Yinn to call him Burma boy is using an ethnic name and not his Nationality and as I stated he could be one of 135 ethnic classifications, but his Nationality is Myanmar.  Now that I have gone off topic to explain something that should be common knowledge such as English, or French, Spaniard, Italian etc....American is the Nationality for some one from America, and America is a shortened term for someone from the United States of America.

 

I hope that the gentleman from Myanmar recovers and the Thai man who struck him pays for his recovery and lost time from work wages and maybe any permanent disability suffered because he was riding over his head, or maybe it is the other way around because the man from Myanmar was not legally where he was if crossing the road outside of a location he could have crossed, but then TIT and laws only are rarely enforced.

Burma/Myanmar

Burmese/Myanmarese 

Both can be used and are interchangeable and both have the same meaning . 

People from Burma/Myanmar are usually called *Burmese* , because its easier to say than Myanmarese/ a person from Myanmar .

*Burmese* is correct and acceptable
