Mind you might not be much going on inside it, even less after he hits the concrete/bitumen in a crash.! And as per usual we look upon them and wonder how they made it this far.? ...and yet some states in the USA have a 'no helmet' law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffersLos Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The lights changed quickly, so he was stopped there. Why are you using a mobile phone while in command of a vehicle on a public road? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almer Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Will the culprit explain himself, there is probably a very good explanation, thereafter we can go back to reading about Covid19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Apart from the typical ex-pat old fart on a scooter, wearing flip flops and no crash helmet, probably waiting for a "racing start', it brought back many happy memories when I lived near Chiang Mai. Shopping in Rimping Supermarket in the basement of the Maya Centre (right) and spending many happy hours in Graham's "The Pub" behind the trees and hotel on the left - now Chinese run I believe?

SAFETY FIRST Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Bloody disrespectful Sad thing is all too often you see these childlike older guys riding the streets in this dangerous manner. You'd reckon being a visitor here in Thailand you would obey the laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LomSak27 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 This very day, coming home from the morning market run. Heading south on Chang Klan at Ragang Rd, Chang Khlan 4 way light. An older Thai driver cruises by me, through the crosswalk, and pulls to a stop. Nobody batted an eye. The only difference from your picture, he was wearing a helmet.

bkk6060 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 His position at the crosswalk is fairly common. The no helmet, no plate is a different matter. Another recent thread may explain his no plate due to the new camera system. Possibly an anti helmeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that they were napping or watching TV, even on their phones since cards are forbidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is standing there wishing that the ground would open up. He’ is thinking that all those locals behind him are thinking stupid foreigner doesn’t even know where the stop line is. His number plate it’s on the back of someone else’s bike. Little does he know he’ll be getting letter after letter through the post in a few days. Nothing too strange about the gear he is wearing, pretty common place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTh Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) This is Maya intersection, I noticed most people who do this stunt are foreigners and Food-Panda guys. The moment the traffic lights turn green, they are the first to 'vroom' not knowing how dangerous it is. These people have no sense of road safety and zero patience until one fine day when they meet a serious accident.

We have a checkpoint just after the 118 on Highway 1 on the way to Phayao. AFAIK it is only manned between 8 am and 12 noon. I have never seen a police officer outside those times. I sometimes wonder what they do, because even when they are there, I have never seen them stop a vehicle. Further up at Mae Lao, they look at registration stickers like a crow staring into a rubbish bin. I suppose for some people, working four hours a day, and doing nothing when they are on duty, is a desirable outcome. Am I off topic again? Damn, you posters are evil.

falang1969 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 As long as I don't have to scrape him up off the floor as he's crying, saying his head hurts (yes, it's happened before, never again!), up to him! I have zero sympathy for someone who doesn't wear a helmet. Why do they do it? To look cool? "Look at me, I'm just like a local". Just don't get it!
