Warning! Ride slowly and watch out for dogs.

[teacherclaire]

 I have no idea if you've realized the number of dogs that are currently almost everywhere. On each road, Soi, at places where you'd not think that dogs are. It's the time of the year when dogs are in heat, so please be careful. 

 

  I almost crashed into two black dogs that were invisible to me because a car was in front of me. When I took over, there were two giant black dogs in the middle of the road at night. 

I was only lucky that nothing happened and my loud horns scared them away. But often there's no time to hit the button. 

 

Black dogs at night, watching the traffic, and in a Nanosecond, it could happen. Please be safe out there and watch out for these creatures.

 

Some owners let their dogs live on the roads, and they run after every biker. I've seen a girl falling near our place, but the dog could run away.

 

And the dog is, of course, back on the road. The owner doesn't show responsibility of his actions to let the dog stay there 24/7.

 

The next accident is only a matter of time. Ride safe.

You should be able to see two large objects in front of your bike.  Sounds like you were speeding.

There was a slow driving car in front of me. I had overtaken, and it was at night with zero lights. I couldn't see the dogs because of the car. 

 

I couldn't see the dogs, and I wasn't speeding, knowing that there are dogs everywhere.

 

  I only wanted to warn others not to crash because of a dog.

 

You don't have to accuse me of something here. Thank you.

The car was probably driving slowly because the driver saw the dogs but you were too impatient and you overtook the car despite your own admission that it was dark and your view was impaired by the car. Then you try to divert the blame to the dogs owners for your poor judgement.

I think they are the majority ... they let the dogs living their lives on the streets, sometimes without vaccination, just they don’t mind, you know....This is thailand, the dangers Thai streets and roads.

If thats the case where you live, why don't you try to do something about it, by reporting it to the appropriate authority?

Do you THINK or do you KNOW?

All dogs where I live are given appropriate injections free by the local Amphur.

Not seen often here ,maybe. But seen in Indonesia. Goats are worse than dog's. At least dogs are smart enough to retreat to the verge but goats are "Oh there a blade of grass on the other-side. I'll just run over there."

This post's point is that dogs are in heat, and you can see plenty of them from other areas almost everywhere.

Ride safe, that's all I wanted to say after I almost crashed.

Lol. Who would ride behind a car doing 30 km/h for a few km with a big bike?

Even a crash with 30 km can cause death, or heavy injuries.

 

  One member here described what happened to him because of a dog, that should be an additional warning. And that's all it is.

   Going to the cops wouldn't help anybody. Thai people know why they don't go there to seek help and I know why.

Erm... this is a highly confusing post.

 

Your information indicates you have no idea of anything in Thailand, i.e. reporting stray dogs to the ‘appropriate authority’ and expecting something to be done about it. Then mentioning that ALL dogs where you live are given ‘appropriate injections’......  So it can’t be Thailand, but then you mention ‘Amphur’ !!!! 

 

Hilarious post, so full of BS.....

 

 

‘What are these ‘appropriate injections’ that the Amphur gives to ALL dogs free of charge ??... and how do you know every dog in the Amphur ??? as I wrote... so full of BS.

 

 

 

Get smart, if you are going to make rubbish up, at least make it believable.

 A severe accident at night can easily be the end of your life.

 

They don't do emergency operations if you're not their governor or similar.

Good night, be safe.

Well it's a case circumstances for me over the years, had 2 dogs just run out into the main road straight under my front wheel.

1st one I killed the 2nd was seriously hurt.

Ok i probably worded my post badly. By appropriate injections I meant rabies and distemper. I do know what happens here after living here for 11 years. By every dog,I should have said that the guys from the Amphur go to all the houses and vaccinate all the dogs that live there.. Theres no need to be insulting. Im not making anything up.

A young soi-dog darted out in front of bike last year

chasing another on opposite side.

Ran over with front wheel.

Ran over with rear wheel.

Bumpily bump,

kept on going.

Darwinism baby...

Buffalos are a serious problem too. They're like hitting a brick wall & in most cases just get up and run off!

(Not me but I know a few people that have found this out the hard way lol)

Not really why are you afraid? I don't report problems but solve them by my selves.

Looks more like you are in panic mode: "number of dogs that are currently almost everywhere. On each road, Soi, at places where you'd not think that dogs are."

Where did I say fear or troubles? I just avoid them, by logic.  I have been living in this country for 10 years, away from the City, I have dogs at home, they live on my property and I take care of them as I take care of my family.  What happens outside, honestly, it matters very little to me...Of course it is always that they do not cause me problems, which would be different.
