Popular Post beechbum Posted December 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2021 Surprised it doesn't happen more often with food delivery drivers, some of their moves while riding are over the top even by local standards. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Asquith Production Posted December 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2021 RIP. I am not surprised by this at all there riding is even more dangerous than normal Thai riders. I hope the authorities are investigating these food delivery companies into what safety standards they have for there riders. I also hope their is no set time in which they have to deliver to the customer. Although I suppose the quicker you deliver the more jobs you can do which will obviously lead to more accidents. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I can only reflect on the crazy driving by many delivery drivers in Pattaya. The absence of any mobile, traffic enforcement and the lack of consequence for illegal driving, is a contributing factor in this mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 We came across a grab driver yesterday changing lanes in front of us whilst checking his phone without checking behind. Mind you all Thai motorcyclists do the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
