R I P   young lady

 

but government officials are only concerned about people driving bikes downhill

[4MyEgo]

Would like to know more on the story as that pick up appears to be really really really moving as the witness said and as you can see from when the time he is approaching the bridge and hits the bike and then ends up way way way past the bridge when he comes to a halt, not to mention that he was in the middle of the two lanes when he hit the bike, (witches hats).

 

So muk for slowing down at school zones and being properly licensed to ride motorbikes.

 

RIP, 15 is way ways to young to bite the dust, but...

You have to watch the video in the original article. He came from the other side of the road to the lane where the motorbike bike drove and hit the motorbike.

Chances are the rider did not have a license but it is possible for a 15 year old to get a motorbike license.

It wasn't their fault. Watch the video. They had very bad luck.

The truck was really smoking, way way too fast.

Having a licence would have been no help to the girls who were, in no way, responsible for the accident.

Those poor kids, they so did not deserve that.

That truck belching smoke and going like a rocket, passed after the accident and not involved but could have caused the driver to swerve before.

[smoggie]

I'm pretty sure the pick up in the second part of the clip is the one in the accident. The road is a dual carriageway, the driver passed the U-turn, then swerved, mounted and crossed the central reservation into oncoming traffic before hitting the motorbike.

Yes, so I heard a while back, still, too young to be on the road, especially Thai roads.

Jesus, lost it at high speed, came onto the other side of the road and it was all over.

 

I did try the website earlier but couldn't find it, thanks.

 

Will forward this to the boys, always telling them how things can change in a split second, with even the most experienced of riders would have trouble getting out of that.

I just watched the video. The pickup driver was driving like a maniac and the two poor girls never stood a chance.

 

From the OP.  https://www.dailynews.co.th/news/1835593/

 

As for the pickup truck driver, named Mr. Kan Ketmahasak, 52 years old, after the incident, the police hurriedly took him to sit in the police car. because there are people who are dissatisfied to come and hurt... สามารถติดตามต่อได้ที่ :

 

The police should have turned a blind eye to anybody who wanted to come and hurt the pick up driver.

 

When I used to take my son to school in the mornings so many stupid bar-stewards would overtake me in the 50 limit, ignoring the school signs, the pedestrian crossing for the children, the small market and the crossroads.

 

I would be driving at 50 with my 4 ways on  and they would rocket past me. I used to pass 5 schools each way.

Another Honda Wave bites the dust. And yet foreigners feel it is necessary to get on these death traps in Thailand.

[Woof999]

As others have said, that video if horrific to watch even with the blurring.

 

The pickup driver should be behind bars for a very long time. There is pretty much zero excuse for that pickup to be travelling at that speed. I hope his conscious is scarred for the rest of his miserable life regardless of what excuses he comes up with.

 

RIP poor young lady and all the best to the other in hospital. A truly tragic thing to happen to anyone, let alone at that young age.

The Honda Wave is a perfectly safe scooter.

 

It was the dumb <deleted> that caused the problem.

 

IMHO the only safe vehicle at that point would have been a fully loaded, 24 wheel truck and trailer combo.

 

That would most likely stopped the maniac it the pick up dead.

 

The girls on the Wave were driving on their side of a 4 lane highway in the left lane. The pickup was in the fast lane on the other side of the road, drove over the central reservation and drove the wrong way in the left lane at high speed and driving head on into the scooter. 

 

All caught on video camera.

 

The dumb <deleted> ought to have been paralysed and in a wheelchair for life, BUT he got away with light injuries.

 

One girl was lucky, if you could call it lucky, as she died though she was most probably in severe pain for a short while. The other girl was not so lucky as she survived and will be in pain for the rest of her life.

 

If it were up to me I would have his pickup slowly crushed and then burnt with him in it, still alive.

As the truck passes the U-turn, it's clearly speeding and being floored as the black smoke is belching from the exhaust. Nothing short of dangerous driving in that area. Death by dangerous driving should equal life imprisonment. So sad for the girls on the bike who were doing nothing wrong.

Um, no, incorrect, you see at the time when I clicked on Daily News in the top left corner of the article, the link it took me too only showed pictures, there was no video at the bottom that I could view for whatever reason, and no, I didn't miss it as I know how these things work.

 

The above said, the person I asked to forward me the link if he had it, i.e. Mickeymaus, did so forward me the same link and I did see the video in the same link at the bottom of the article, why it worked in the same link that he provided me with and not the article I saw on AseanNow, I have not idea, maybe my computer was having a slow day in it's old age ?

 

I just went back to the original post above in AseanNow and tried it again, well what do you know it appeared this time around, so I did see it in that original post just now, but not before, only through the link Mickeymaus sent to me, as I said before, hence the reason I asked for the link thinking it might have been seen elsewhere.
