richard_smith237 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 ‘The motorbike’ collided ??? … those pesky inanimate object again, doing things they shouldn’t !!! or… she pulled out without looking.

Agreed… although the info in the linked article suggests otherwise, but let’s face it - no one expects the drive to be honest if he was driving like a loon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 The man claimed that he was driving normally and as he was about to reach an intersection, the victim on her motorbike suddenly dashed in front of his car, resulting in a fatal collision. What intersection? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloquent pilgrim Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 “The man claimed that he was driving normally and as he was about to reach an intersection” …… Driving normally; something Thai minivan drivers are renowned for doing whilst asleep. RIP Lady … very sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Another triumph for Pattaya policing. This carnage will continue daily till they get serious about road safety. Every junction, particularly those controlled by traffic lights is abused because the invisible police NEVER check the banks of CCTV screens with safety in mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 So many making comments and suggestions of what happened, including blaming the van driver. He claimed the motorcycle suddenly pulled in front of him - which sounds more than a reasonable scenario to me. Do motorcyclists ever look before maneuvering? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 ....................the latter had damage to its bumper. Looking at the picture ( If it is the same minibus ) has more than bumper damge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The degree of absence of self preservation here is astonishing… " Life is cheap in Thailand and the lack of any sense when driving a motorbike in Thailand is proof. What I find amazing is that most foreigners also adopt this very dangerous, careless, nonsensical behavior. Its as if they regress into a pariah outcast mentality when they get on their motorbike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarius Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I just know the van driver was driving well below the speed limit and wasn't texting or taking on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
