Good thing that the driver in the sedan was alright.

These motorbikes driving on the wrong side of the road are a menace.

Karma?

Using the GPS of an iPad kept under the seat, Nerarit eventually found the motorcycle. He was also shocked to learn that the thief who stole his vehicle had been killed in a collision.

 

Smart man.

All wrong way drivers should be hit. Thailand needs a Mad Max kind of law that makes anyone going the wrong  way fair game.

I doubt I have done a single trip on the dual carriageway Railway Line Bypass without seeing someone driving in the wrong direction. It doesn't help that there aren't really signs letting people know.

An everyday occurrence.

Ironic, the thief stole the bike, but not the helmet, which might have saved him.

Well, the reckless driving turned out positive in this instance, and became the "the judge, jury, and executioner".
