Wonder if he's got any travel/health insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 This Muppet just needs the "stupid is as stupid does" T-shirt. Grow up you fool, grown men don't normally rollerblade through Bangkok traffic. I'm wondering if he was listening to roller disco while he was making an idiot out of himself.

One Grab delivery guy couldn't get by." there is contradiction - if he was going fast he was not blocking motorbikes. He is an equal road user, as motorbikes, bicycles If a Grab guy couldn't get by then he wasnt going so fast, those Grab guys dont waste any time. But what an idiot to endanger himself and possibly cause accidents as others try to avoid him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 You can't believe all the kids and adults in America with these motorized scooters and single wheels going so fast with no protection. Around the neighborhood or on busy streets. It scares me to see these beautiful young girls in the neighborhood going so fast with no protection. I worry they will fall and lose teeth, and have major lifelong scars. Sometimes I see these one wheel people on bike trails, some areas have signs saying no 9ne wheels. And there are little kids under 10 riding these electric motorbikes on the sidewalks and streets. Cops always came when I rode my Honda 50 anywhere on the street or sidewalks. It's ok for their kids to do this illegal activity but if they smelled you smoking a joint they would call the cops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have we heard that from these Canadian rollerbladers? Enough is enough! Lock him up and throw away the key. Or at least a wai and 500 baht fine.

He wasn't fined for "skating" on the road, he was fined for obstructing traffic and a road safety transgession so there's no reason for anyone to have to reference "anti-skating" laws .
