If so, I'm amazed >Jomtien< 2nd rd, yes. And it looks like this since long. A broad well paved race track for suicidals from all continents. Sometimes the head flies off and has be searched in the bushes. Chicken run for pedestrians crossing. Never never rely on pedestrian traffic lights or zebra! Monster towers/blocks to both sides with rabbit cages called condo. It shudders me whenever I pass by.

Popular Post aussienam Posted May 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2023 No sympathy then if it is yet another tosser on the roads with some stupid urge to speed and show off. 99.9% of the time there is no urgency, just testosterone fuelled and false belief that their speeding and riding prowess somehow impresses the rest of us to the point we all go home and ferociously mast*****e over these wan***r riders. Same as the idiots who ride around revving the guts out of their bikes with loud pipes = desperate wan***s. If I ride fast and die I deserved it. This idiot deserved it. Lucky no innocents caught up in the carnage. 6 1 2 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that most people who speed do it because they enjoy the sensation of riding fast. That's not to justify the practice, just to give an alternative theory on why it happens. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the wise administration does nothing. Enabling warp speed through populated areas is irresponsible.

It is really weird to read regular reports about foreigners dying, it's one of the newest main roads in jomtien, ever since the road was open foreigners have made the media with their many deaths. They've made the road even more dangerous now. Roadworks, heading south just before soi Watboon, all southbound traffic has been diverted to the northbound lanes.

An elderly foreigner driving a pickup had an accident not too long ago, hit and run. The cops found him, he apologized but unable to pay, if remember he had no money. I'd like to know the outcome on this issue. ???? Edited May 22, 2023 by SAFETY FIRST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Silly question perhaps, but if he's unidentified and had no papers on him, how can they be sure he's a foreigner? There's people from all different kinds of ancestry and racial backgrounds with Thai nationality nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
