Unfortunately many Thai's have the habit of pulling out THEN looking to see if something is coming - RIP

Good that the pickup driver had a dashcam.

I witnessed a near miss yesterday morning.

05:00 at a crossing controlled by traffic lights.

However at that hour one way is flashing red with the other flashing orange, giving priority to the orange direction.

A garbage truck overtook me on my bicycle followed by a speeding pick-up truck, the pick-up then overtook the garbage truck about 200 yard before the crossing going like a bat out of hell.

It flashed across the intersection at great speed missing a wave motorcycle crossing the other way by about one metre.

Sheer madness.
