You have to wonder -  A motorbike rider has sustained serious injuries after his motorbike allegedly ran through a red light and collided with a sedan in Pattaya early this morning (March 29^th).

 

Why not say it like it is, the motorcyclist ran a red light and paid for it, the bike would not run a red light without someone riding it .........LOL

It creates an impression of the motorcycle driving itself..... , it simply did as it had been taught.

You just can't trust these run-away motorbikes.

Gotta wonder, why say it at all?  It probably happened 100 times across Thailand yesterday, with dozens killed and more dozens injured in scooter wrecks on a daily basis. That's just the numbers.

 

Is this a parable pointing out the hazards of running red lights?  If so, I can understand the local news publishing it. 

 

But it just turns into a dogpile on Thai drivers and poor word choice on the forums.

Chance he has learn his lesson even if he makes it and if he doesn't won't be part of the stats????

A wasted parable if it was ever intended as such.

 

They might as well have saved themselves the trouble and just posted this:

Another triumph for Pattaya Plod. Traffic rules are broken a million times a day because they are never enforced, except for the Driving while in Possession of a White Face law.
