Vehicles that are towing another car, small four-wheel vehicles, and three-wheeled vehicles must not go faster than 45 kilometers per hour. Motorcycles must be driving at no more than 60 kilometers per hour. Motorcycles with power limited to a maximum of 35kW or 400 CC, or “Big Bikes”, must use a speed of not more than 80 kilometers per hour.

ukrules Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Last time I was in Bangkok we seemed to be moving at about 5 km/h for a couple of hours, only when we got outside Bangkok did the speed increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like everywhere, they exist for the extorted cash pool, less anything practical for the good of the commons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This is a partial sentence taken out of context. Let's try again with the full sentence. 3 hours ago, snoop1130 said: Vehicles that are towing another car, small four-wheel vehicles, and three-wheeled vehicles must not go faster than 45 kilometers per hour.

So a "small 3/4-wheeler" doing 45 in the slow lane is going to get plowed into next week by a truck doing 60? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JonnyF Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'll continue to ride my motorbikes at whatever speed is safe for the conditions thanks. If you think I'm going to stick to 80kph on a 'big bike' (or worse still, 60kph on my 250 which is capable of way over double that) while cars are blasting past me at breakneck speed then you'll have to think again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The only laws EVER enforced are those that benefit the Kwaistone cops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisfeld Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Quote Motorcycles with power limited to a maximum of 35kW or 400 CC, or “Big Bikes”, must use a speed of not more than 80 kilometers per hour. That doesn't make sense. If they are limited in power to less than or equal 35kW or 400CC then they are *not* Big Bikes. I'm with JonnyF. I am not endangering myself by artificially driving slower than everyone else even though I have better brakes and reaction times than 99%+ of others on the road. That would mean to always ride very far on the left because the cars will be constantly overtaking. No way, José. While we are on the topic of road safety can someone PLEASE PLEASE tell those maniacs in the road department to not scratch up the roads in bends and leave it with deep crevices that make it super dangerous for motorcycles? That practice has sprung up in a few places around Phuket and surrounding provinces I noticed. Absolute insanity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultName Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I can't work out the speed limit for cars. Anyway, I'm usually on a bike and I'll be doing whatever speed the traffic is doing. Not in the left lane either, the surface is too bad. Anything else is suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
