All credit to the truck driver, at least he stopped.

Lucky the sidecar wasn't full of kids.

They probably fell out at the previous bend

Looking at the way the so called "sidecar" is fitted to the bike I doubt it could be controlled on a straight road, let alone a bend.

Sure, but it have to be normal.

So far are we cut off in this country.

 

heads up

 

You would think with 8 years of experience (or more), the 18 year old would be a better driver!

Nothing but a nuisance those sidecars. 

From the photo it hardly looks like a bend?

No helmet, and bad driving. " I lost control " should read ''I am a cr@p driver who can't control my vehicle at speed round a bend''

Agreed - they go slow & there's no room to overtake.  Throw in the speaker vans at election time & no wonder Thailand's fuel bill is 30% higher than it should be!

I imagine his mobile phone will be somewhere......yet to see anyone under the age of 20 ride a motorbike without a phone stuck to their face.

Just an 18yo kid riding an inherently unstable and hard to control vehicle.... I often see kids deliberately trying to lift the sidecar wheel...  if it lands the samlor will pull to the side.
