no need as the video clearly shows careless driving. another untrained thai driver causing unnecessary death.

Seems the SUV blocked the lady's vision so she didn't see the danger.

This accident happened way out in the boondocks well passed lake Mabprachan so hardly " non-policing in Pattaya".

[Mr Meeseeks]

She lost her life because of her own carelessness and stupidity. RIP.

Pong Klang 2 ain't in the boondocks. It's a very busy road between Mabprachan Lake and the highway. 

 

It's a very dangerous road because of people making all these right turns across two lanes of traffic.

 

They just resurfaced the road. Of course, anyone with half a brain would have ensured there was a dividing median, so accidents like this wouldn't happen, but then brains are in short supply here.

Its a fair distance from Pattaya... end off.

So nothing to do with "non-policing in Pattaya".

It's still not in the 'boondocks' though, and it is a very busy road 24 hours a day. 

 

You really are a tedious and argumentative little chap aren't you?

Yes, reputation saved. It's 900 m from Pattaya city border

 

[KhunBENQ]

Sure technically the other driver is not at fault assuming proper lights on (can't be sure from the video.

But anyway: are those people always in a rush?

Speeding in the dark in the middle of the lane.

Keep left and you see more and will be seen better.

Next time it will be a car in his way and he is off the road too.
 

Compare his speed with the rider ahead.

Don't care to be honest.. my point was it is nothing to do with "non policing in Pattaya"... which Iam 100% correct.

 

Anywho, enjoy ya busy little soi out there in the Boondocks !

But went across anyway. Brilliant couldn't wait five seconds, so.....

Three perfect examples of Thainess in just a few seconds. Speeding motorcyclist, idiot motorcyclist crossing the road without bothering to see if it's clear, and the car driver not bothering to see if he/she could help but instead just driving away.

Both at fault really, one for turning without really looking, the other for speeding.

[brianthainess]

I just watched this again at 0.25 speed he comes from behind the SUV in the right lane and cuts into the left lane, in actual fact in the middle of both lanes he should have done that a lot earlier, IF she could see him she imo would have thought he was going right. having said that she does not look in his direction at all. It also looks like he has no headlight working.

Then the SUV just drives on turning right.

[FruitPudding]

Amazing how easy it is to die on the roads here.

 

The accident didn't look that bad, especially for the turning rider. I assumed the one who died was the one going straight as he was moving so fast and therefore would gave hit the tarmac harder.

[FruitPudding]

You gotta love how the SUV just turned the corner like nothing happened and drove off.

 

No <deleted> given, at all.

Not sure what you saw but she wasnt at fault as she had right of way traveling straight and the person turning didnt

The lady was turning right. The guy will probably get away with it, but I reckon it was just as much, if not more, his fault. He was probably speeding, he had no front headlight and he obviously wasn't driving with due care and attention as he noticed the SUV turning right at the last minute when he then changed lanes. Some of you have been quick to call the woman an idiot, but the poor thing didn't see the oncoming mc coming.

My bad I read it the other way around

 

[Chris Daley]

Blind turn into oncoming traffic.  Nice one.

Didn't see if the car driver didn't stop, the video stopped short of the car completing the turn, or am I mistaken?

You could be right.

I suspect he carried on home, he didn't cause the incident. 

[sniggie]

Two words. Defensive driving.

 

If either of the people involved had been riding with any appreciation of what might go wrong then the crash would not have happened.

 

I showed the video to my son and some of his friends. Then I spent some time discussing vehicle positioning and sightlines. I just hope some of it went in!
