Yeah, late night time, rural setting with little lights around tired drivers rushing home, man on a small m/bike and by the sound of it not wearing protective head gear, recipe for a disaster waiting to happen...

I wonder if at 11:30pm there were any alcohol involved (either party). 

Would a Helmet have made a difference???

Not specifically related to the Op, but more towards motorcycling safety.  

 

I made it a hard unequivocal rules years ago:

- Never ride a motorcycle at night (unless its a local 7-11 trip on a sub soi)

- Never ride with alcohol in my system

- Never ride without a helmet

- Never ride in flip-flops

- If going further than the nearby shops (supermarket etc) on a major road (in day time) wear Boots, Gloves, Kevlar Jeans or riding pants, Moto-jacket with back protector and of course helmet. 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d suggest never ride on a motorcycle in Thailand. Car or walk. In a car you have a fighting chance, but much less on a motorbike.

Agreed. I live (for the time being!) by the same creed. 

Before I even moved here a Thai friend told me to never travel major roads at night or on weekends /holidays. 

sure to be a thai driver !!!!

...and probably dark black tinted windows on the truck reducing vision further.

I usually take my flip flops off just in case they fall off whilst riding.

i do the same except I put a condom on before I leave the house. 

 

i hope they find the person who is guilty of vehicular manslaughter.

 

 

 

The anti-biker brigade are alive and well. The poor bloke was minding his own business whilst stationary. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time and his life was snuffed out in an instant. Helmet, no helmet, ooh, never ride a bike at night, never ride a bike ever, too dangerous. If he'd not been in Thailand he'd still be alive. Man alive, he was killed by a coward that chose to flee the scene. I hope the cop's track him down and bring him to justice. Criticise Thailand all you want but poor Harry Dunn and his family haven't received any justice for his death, killed by Anne Sacoolas, protected by the USA authorities.
