Popular Post webfact Posted October 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2022 Close to the end Netizens were praising the driving ability of a pick-up driver after a motorcyclist came out of a gas station into their path. A TikTok video under the name spn_._._ showed a middle aged lady on a motorcycle come out into the right lane. Though she looks she is going far too slowly to pull off this move. This causes the pick-up to brake and veer sharply narrowly avoiding another person on a motorcycle. This was all caught on rear view cam footage with netizens convinced the good Thai driving averted disaster even if poor Thai driving started it in the first place, reported Daily News. Some 80% of all deaths on Thai roads involve motorcyclists. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-10-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

PJ71 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 the woman never even batted an eyelid This is a very common manoeuvre pulling straight out into the fast lane, whether is be for a U turn or a junction km's further up the road, complete madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is no good driving but just an emergency breaking resulting in loss of control. Nothing but luck that the other motorcycle rider was not thrown off. From between 10 and 11 sec into the video it was clear that the motorcycle rider would not stick to the left lane but cross. About 3 sec(!) later the pickup nearly hit the motorcycle. Amazing silence: I know it's "forbidden" to honk but here it would have been absolutely necessary!!! Edited October 3, 2022 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmaxdan Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Dreadful driving all round. I bet you anything you like the pickup driver's first response was to blast her horn rather than brake and try and avoid a collision herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Orinoco Posted October 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2022 And the Thais on social media think this was good driving Just shows you all what most are truly thinking when they drive or ride on the roads in Thailand. Just dumb all round in that clip. The only thing missing, is a bike going up the carriageway the wrong way, 3 up, one holding a baby in there arms and no crash helmets on, but all have a mask on, to complete the picture.

The video has sound and I am afraid he did nothing, neither honk (which he should have done!) nor break at first. I bet he realized that the bike would come over. And then? Being surprised that the bike slowed down? There is a U-turn! All U-turns are clearly announced with a sign. Complete sleepy and careless fool and not "good driving".

Popular Post JonnyF Posted October 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2022 Looked like a poor reaction time followed by a completely out of control emergency stop that was lucky not to take out the other motorcycle. If that qualifies as good driving then I'm not sure I want to be around for the bad. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xonax Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Not good driving, but pure luck. The pick-up should have reduced the speed already, when the motorcycle came near the middle of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moti24 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Apart from the usual Thai motorcyclist, the pickup driver must have been on the phone or half asleep. I can't believe this is even news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed.... How is that possibly good driving ?????..... the pickup truck had a life time to react and brake only to spin out.... utterly ridiculous that this could be consider ‘good driving’ in the looses sense of the word.... .... and the motorcyclist.... this is exactly why we all need dash-cams... How can someone pull out in the outside lane of a main road like that and so clearly and obviously put their own life in such grave danger absolutely astonishes me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 This is the reason that so many Thai motorbike drivers get killed on the roads. It's the complete carelessness and stupidity of the riders assuming that they have the right of way because no laws are enforced to make them comply with sane driving. It's a total free for all for motorbike drivers in Thailand and a reason I will never get on a bike again here in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevc Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 When I taught my wife to drive in the UK I told her treat everyone as an idiot, over here it makes perfect sense to. Pick up driver wasn't a good driver he should have been looking for that to happen instead of reacting at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavel Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Where does being unable to react quickly when something adverse happens on the road, then braking & lose complete of your own vehicle causing it to spin constitute good driving. The mind boggles. Of course TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
