Norwegian Motorcyclist Drives into Dangling Cable and Gets Injured in Sattahip

[cracker1]

It always surprises that Thai people do not report these matters to the proper authorities. Also there must be many local Govt. people who pass these dangerous things and apparently do nothing about them.

I would have no idea who to contact about it.

Surprised someone didnt fully secure the area by throwing some branches around??

[ThaiFelix]

Good thing he was wearing the proper protective equipment, boots etc

'yanking him by the neck from his vehicle to the ground'. Horrible at any speed. I wonder how fast (plus other factors) would be needed to completely decapitate someone?

Try it

If a private company owned cable, it could be an interesting law suit.

Cut the cable, see who comes to repair it....

good idea !!!!

It was an internet cable bro but nice rant anyway.

Take a close look at the cable wrapped around the motorbike in the OP. If you think that was an internet, i.e. fibre optic cable, then I suggest a trip to Specsavers.

Such a strange concept, no ones pointing at him and I still know he's the one the story's about.

I hope that the gentleman who was injured will be ok.

It's okay they have wheel chair ramps at cheang wattana.  Get that 90 days done.

It was only a matter of time. Eventually, the communication industry most fix what is a very dangerous situation waiting to happen. It's visual pollution and it really needs to be addressed. Another situation simular to the pollution/smoke issue. Lots of talk, very little action.

Also don't be irrisponsible and walk on the ones lying along the footpath, or touch the ones along the walk overs, or you could end up with a big hospital bill.

Because it is a waste of time..... the only time we get a reaction is when someone is killed or injured and it gets into the press or onto social media. When I had my coax internet replaced with fibre, the guy intended to leave the old cable up there until my Mrs talked to him.

Black cable with a white stripe. Identifies it as a CAT fiber cable.

It's bad enough having to watch out for all the reckless drivers on the road.  Let alone dangling wires as well.   Incredible.  It beggars belief.

The French Resistance used to do this to decapitate German riders.  TOT are merely jumping on this bandwagon.

Very very dangerous I can't believe

up here in CM they are hanging down on the sidewalks.  the stupid phone company repair men do not clean up their mess.  

Simply because they're too lazy and too poorly trained to do anything properly and finish a job correctly. Add in Thainess attitudes of it all be okay because Buddha looks after us and hey ho, that's why infrastructure and utilities are so messy, untidy and poorly maintained.

Obviously not his fault here, but if you always follow Rule 1, the less trouble you'll get.

 

Rule 1: Never travel on a motorbike in Thailand.
