Fatal crash: Thai motorcyclist collides with Chinese Porsche driver

[webfact]

 

A tragic accident has claimed the life of a 25 year old man who was involved in a collision with a Porsche Cayenne driven by a Chinese national. The crash occurred on the Pattaya-Bang Pa-in road, opposite Wat Tapang, in Sam Khok district, Pathum Thani.

 

The deceased, known as Thanawat, was found lifeless in the middle of the rightmost expressway lane, near his severely damaged Honda Lead motorcycle that had no registration plate.

 

Not far from the scene, a black Porsche Cayenne with a red license plate bearing the number 1235 Bangkok was found, its side badly damaged. The driver of the crashed luxury car, a 34 year old Chinese national known only as Jin, stood by awaiting the arrival of police officials.

With any luck the Porsche may have dash-cam footage and police can see what happened.

Excellent reporting there from Thaiger News, they don't miss a trick ????

[Cake Monster]

Why it that it appears all Chinese in the Country drive around in expensive cars

Hmmm

[RichardColeman]

The police were alerted about a group of teenagers racing motorcycles on the expressway. The inspection was underway when the unfortunate incident happened. CCTV footage revealed some teenagers fleeing the police, prior to the fatal accident.

No pity at all.????

 

The Porsche driver waited at the scene so he's pretty sure he is not at fault.

On an Expressway with a group of others on Motorbikes, I doubt that VERY much, a Highway yes Not an Expressway the reporting here gets worse daily.

But I didn't know there is a Pattaya-Bang Pa-In Road. They must have built that while I wasn't looking.

Many have no number plate and also very common the see a number plat tucked way up under the rear seat so it cant be read.. How about a blitz on both.

'All'?????  I doubt that all Chinese currently in Thailand have a car....or even a scooter.

 

Sounds like someone is either jealous of the Chinese or crying because they can't afford a car.

[KhunLA]

Another MVA & death ... my day is complete, with added plus of knowing one was Thai, and the other Chinese.  Enquiring minds need to know.

 

Now ... is the THB or price of beer going up or down 0.1% as I'll need to adjust my living budget ????

I thought there was a rule that no red plates in the hours of darkness??

Certainly is a rule....I wonder whether the police will enforce it against a wealthy man though?

Jail the Chinese killer for life. Case closed.

Quite the hyperbolic leap...  Two recent articles of Chinese owning expensive cars and now it's 'all Chinese in the country drive around in expensive cars' ????

Interesting...  so on your motorcycle its impossible for you to display your rear-licence plate legally because you don't have the space ???  erm...  sure about that ? 

 

Or you just like the look with the rear numberplate tucked underneath out of the way ? 

 

Are you suggesting this (picture below) is an impossibility ?? - and you're calling Kennw a clown

This is discussed a lot. 

I've even been pulled over at night (about 20 years ago) in Bangkok for having a red plate, and just said I was on my way home from work and the BiB did nothing 

 

I do not see anywhere any regulation or law which stipulates that a vehicle on red plates (temporary plates) cannot be driven in the hours of darkness or outside of the province.

 

I wonder if this is just one of those 'regulations' that spread by world of mouth (within the police force) and no one actually knows the real law on this.

Yes, and why all the accidents? Do the Chinese drive on the wrong side (like they do in NZ)?

All the accidents ???.... [involving Chinese drivers].

 

...there have been two (recently), neither of them were the fault of the driver !!!

I was referring to all those accidents recently involving higher-priced vehicles driven by Chinese, which were at least 3 in recent times... I don't know who was at fault, as I wasn't there.

Australia is planning to require a specific driving licence for all these supercharged vehicles.

 

The laws of physics are usually beyond the laws of egos and unexperienced supercar handlers.

 

Other civilized nations should follow.

 

And of course nothing to do if the chap is Chinese or whatsoever.

Probably turbocharged cars, not many supercharged cars for the masses out there.....????

It would be a little late. 

 

A lot of 'standard' electric cars are significantly faster from 0-100kmh than most supercharged vehicles. 

 

When Bruce the bogan can get in an electric ute that does 0-100kmh in 3.3 seconds, the proposal mentioned above is rather preposterous.

Some assumption that... (that Aus is civilised !!)...    Does that also mean you don't think non-civilised nations need follow ???

 

Which are the 'civilised nations' and which are not ?

Its actually just New South Wales and its for UHPVs (Ultra High Powered Vehicles), nothing to do with supercharging .... It would impact about 270 drivers in the state. 

 

The proposed Law also includes making it illegal to turn off some driver aids in such cars.
