stevenl Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 On that road btw are nearly always bikes parked onto the road. This narrows the road and with insufficient lighting this often requires sudden avoidance movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) With the complete lack of detail/witnesses statement it's not ok to easily put the blame on Igor. If you know how motorcycle riders are behaving, lighting etc. The new order of not naming nationality of foreigners hasn't made it to Phuket yet ????

Popular Post Silencer Posted December 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2022 Was the motorbike stationary? No mention if alcohol was involved, or excessive speed, and police still investigating. The one accident I had, where I scraped the car in front of me (on a motorbike) vs. going down a ravine, during a sudden and hard braking event caused by a car pulling onto the road unexpectedly, ended up with police saying I was not at fault and the car pulling out would pay for the damages to the car I hit. What a surprise that was (I think everyone was glad I did not go down the ravine). Not sure I would have gotten off free like that in my home country in the same situation. Not all is gloom and doom here just because we are foreigners and easy pickings. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the pictures (in the article) you see the back of a Thai motorcycle destroyed and the front of a car. So the most likely explanation is the Russian hit the Thai from behind.
