rwill Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I don't know from one photo but isn't the car on the wrong side of the road. Looked at the original article and it says this: "However, a witness stated to law enforcement that the car driven by Chaiyaporn was trying to overtake and directly crashed into the motorcycle that was reportedly staying in its lane."

Foghorn Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 So the car driver must have money or connections because the motorbike rider is being blamed first even though a witness says otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately yes. Same stories every day. And the xx other killed motorcyclists won't make it to English language news. Just that some such media are around.

There are on average two deaths an hour on Thai roads, over 80% on bikes. but we only read of one or two a day. I wonder how they are selected. Shouldn't there be a site solely to report road deaths? There'd be more individual stories than appear in AN headline newsletters, but I suppose if there were so many no-one would read any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at the original article and it says this: "However, a witness stated to law enforcement that the car driven by Chaiyaporn was trying to overtake and directly crashed into the motorcycle that was reportedly staying in its lane." But the article also states that "SUV driver Chaiyaporn Saewang told the police that the motorcycle was coming in the opposite direction and crossed into his lane before bumping into his car." Who to believe ? This is why a Dash-cam is always important... If the driver is not telling porkie pies, this would exonerate him... unless of course he was over-taking and drove straight into the oncoming motorcyclist.
