You are correct about how dangerous it is here in regards to how many of the vehicles are running along in the dark without lights, especially tail lights, but to say you don't care about people driving while drunk is not very responsible of you. Do you have any idea how many people are killed every year by intoxicated drivers? Probably a lot more than those who are killed every year as the result of bad lights. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not illegal. Riding in the sidecar is illegal. But whether something is illegal or not has absolutely no relevance in Thailand. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 My best guess, the motorbike had to high speed, and did not pay attention, or did not care to prepare for the motorbike with sidecar would or could make an unpredictable maneuver! With lights or no lights you should be ready for everything and anything, at any possible direction and even the impossible. Thai driving survival skills upgrade needed, and also refill of luckbox needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laws are there but they are rarely if ever enforced because the police get paid whether they enforce them or not. And, if they ever are enforced, it is done selectively, based on the lawbreaker's position in society and/or how much money they have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
