I sincerely wish you good luck with that (I'll stick to my very big pick up here). With every loss of a fellow motor cyclist's life I give thanks that I have the financial means to enjoy my motor bikes (plural) well away from Thailand's deadly roads.

The only relevance that I could possibly envisage regarding maximum design speed of a vehicle is that a vehicle designed for higher speeds is usually designed with better breaking performance. So, when a standard sedan vs a supercar... or a scooter vs a super-sport motorcycle is forced to take an evading response, i.e swerve or brake hard the vehicle rated for performance is likely to do better. This alone highlights the distorted bias presented by our resident fool... a faster bike is rated for better performance, part of that performance is braking.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comments possess an anti-British bias which causes you to assume anyone defending the deceased as being ‘British and over defensive’... but the reality is many are simply recognising that the motorcyclist was not at fault... nationality is utterly irrelevant, training and experience are the relevant factors, as may be age. You are looking for an issue with doesn’t exist... all you are doing with every comment is highlighting with greater confirmation that your opinions are an oddly unhinged. may be age???? Think that has more to do with it than training and experience. You know, reaction time, concentration level and so on....... But, we will just wait for the result of investigation. Then you can say how wrong that one is. One good thing, will be that you are out of my hair. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On every comment so far on this thread you’ve managed to come up with some ‘strange stuff’ which only highlights oddity and bias... Do you believe the incident could have been motorcyclists fault ?.... You people, means everyone who posts in the same way like you ???? It´s only odd, because you don´t understand it. Yes, it can be, but as I said it would be nice to see the result of the investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF there were an investigation carried out to the levels of professionalism we would expect of an accident investigation in some of our home nations. In this case I very much doubt any investigation is going to be more than... paint the outline and assign blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has obtained their driving licence or motorcycle licence from their home country it is likely they have undergone more extensive education, training and testing... .... that doesn’t automatically make them better riders than all Thai’s.... but in aggregate the standards of road use and approach towards safety will be higher.... Perhaps that’s just bias (as you allude to Liverpool) and there is no difference... but I don’t think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Daily Mail that "missed" something! It's obviously not a motorway... but the writers at the Daily mail probably lack the knowledge of the different Thai roads.... i.e. Motorway, Tollway, Expressway, Highway etc... In this case, its clear the incident occurred a 2 (or 3) lane highway..... ... As such any vehicle can use it... and its not a ‘sealed route’ with slip roads, vehicles can enter from farm tracks etc... there is usually, but not always a frontage road with makes things slightly safer when present - but these are more often on inter-provincial highways.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
