Popular Post webfact Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 Picture: Sanook A police spokesman reacted to a video doing the rounds on social media that showed a man with a sidecar attachment doing a dangerous maneuver. Dash cam footage over 40 seconds showed the man lifting his sidecar off the road surface. He also was not wearing a helmet during the escapade on Nakhon-In Road in Nonthaburi north west of the Thai capital Bangkok, reported Sanook. Police are trying to locate him. Pol Maj-Gen Yingyot Thepjamnong said that this negligent and scary driving could lead to three months jail or fines of 2000 - 10,000 baht under Article 43. He asked all motorists to behave sensibly on the Thai roads - or else. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-10-11 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor cycles modified with a sidecar attachment are required to be re-registered following inspection and pay a higher rate of tax. It is illegal to carry passengers in the sidecar. Clearly, this rider has complied with the law in respect to registration or the statement of charges would have it included.?.???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many unlicensed moto drivers on the road it's ridiculous. MY GF has a 1 year old Mazda 2. Within 6 months of purchase she had 1 moto run into the back of her car at a light, he got up and took off when she stepped out of the car. She took a pic of his bike license plate...local police uninterested in pursuing him unless she paid them a 'fee' 3000 baht to get out of their chars. A few months later, another moto took out her driver side mirror and yup you guessed it...took off like a bat out of hell rather than face the music.

itsari Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Seen many theatrics with motorcycle and side car's here in Thailand , but not as exemplary as the one in the video. Pleased my father never had these skills as he would ride us down to Hayling Island with my brother and sister sat in the side car with my mother riding pillion and buckets and spades at the ready . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
