arresting for mask doesn't make any sense. There is no any law and the opposite is advised - dont wear mask whilst driving

The OP was not arrested, he's talking <deleted>.

Bugs, rocks, bad air, others sneezing around you at stop lights all very dangerous while riding a motorbike good protection to always wear a mask.

What in the world does wearing a COVID Mask have to do with a helmet?

 

Your guess is off the mark by a mile

if he was wearing a helmet, nobody would have noticed the absence of the mask. now i leave you the pleasure of qualifying your own comments

What makes you think the OP has a full face helmet ?

The attitude of oh so many foreigners here to be above the law is embarrassing for the rest of us. Of course no one likes wearing the mask and debates about protection will continue endlessly. 

 

But as if they claim to be more intelligent, special breeds, foreigners again and again display their uncovered mugs with stern face, like shouting: dare to tell me I should wear a mask?

 

Had a recent confrontation with a lousy Italian freak guy at Apple Store Central World. He was dirty and smelling and wearing old shabby cloths - and sitting there "testing" an iPad, clearly above his budget. Of course he did not wear a mask.

 

Apple staff obviously were hesitant to confront him, somebody asked him politely to please cover his face, and Apple shops are quite strict about those rules. Oh man he began shouting about freedom and stuff and he's a customer here willing to spend a lot of money.

 

Couldn't keep my temper down and let him know he's an embarrassment to the rest of us.

 

Anyways, all the foreigners around here not wearing the mask is not an act of defiance, it's a sign of arrogance and non-respect towards everyone else trying to just get along.

 

So whatever the reasons for the OP's "arrest": if you're one of this arrogant breed, well done boys in brown.

yes, because he did not come back to support his one sentence story with full explanation and documents attached, his story is not to be believed

More detail would certainly help his credibility.

 well this is a question you should ask yourself! because if he wasn't wearing a full face helmet, it is OBVIOUS THAT the police would have noticed the absence of the mask. i don't think  it is difficult to understand that i'm OBVIOUSLY referring to a full face helmet

Blind freddy can read between the line of the OP and come to the conclusion he was either not wearing a helmet or if he was it was an open face one.

 

If I was a gambling man my money would be on not wearing a helmet.

What? No. The law here is you must wear a mask when driving. Or it was last time I checked...

Actually wearing a mask while riding a bike is not such a bad idea, I do have a Fino I dont use it often but when I do I get behind trucks and cars kicking up the dust hopefully the mask saves you from breathing in all the dust

So you accept that your original statement that "the opposite is advised - dont wear mask whilst driving" is correct?

 

I'm also not sure about your claim about motorcycles. I'm pretty sure that you're supposed to be wearing them but am willing to accept I don't know with 100% certainly.

 

Enforcement or not of any particular law isn't relevant in relation to your original claims.

I thought all Italians dressed in Armani designed clothes, at least the ones on the tv do?

They don't.

Can you guys not see what this is? The OP just wants attention, and therefore left a short post at 3am on a Friday night and then no more input... probably just to get loads of hits, questions and replies.

I call it out as an attention-seeking troll post, and nothing more.

Not all helmets are full faced or have a shield smart guy

Seems like the OP used his one call to post here, then vanished into the ether.

 

Tsk, tsk.

Too bad some people are too stupid to figure out how to wear a mask properly.

Ultimately no revelation here.  When you visit someone else's house (or country), you abide by their rules (or laws). 

 

And then of course avoid posting on any forums while drinking, in the event that anything inconvenient happens after breaking any of those rules.

not in bangkok.

"A motorbike driver in the northern Thai province of Uthai Thani has died from injuries he sustained after he drove into a utility pole. Witnesses said they saw a face mask covering the motorbike driver’s eyes and they believe it obstructed his vision, causing the crash."
