i read this story last week...and the week before...and the month before. 

Only 1 person died on 1 January?

Then the government's fight on 7 dangerous days helped after all.

well done government, keep up the good work, also in the new year....

Or, at the speed he was going and looks like a big bike, it shoved the pickup up the curve.  The damage is to the rear right side of the truck which would cause the pickup to be shoved left.

Riding along Jomtien recently when an a$$h**e on a big sports bike undertook me at high speed and very close.  Caught up at the traffic lights ahead.  A helmet-less farang tosser beating his head up and down flexing his upper body.  Typical tough tatts and thinking he was some sort of hero.  He was watching me in his mirror as I mumbled "w***er" towards him shaking my head.  Lights green and of course to display his prowess and perceived superiority and arrogance, did the token multiple high revs with loud exhaust, taking off to beat everyone off the lights.  Is it wrong I was hoping he'd come off at speed? 😉.

Problem is there are so many of these absolute idiots everywhere here - Thais and farangs.  No surprise there are so many deaths.  Big bike riders with pea-brained morons.

And you don't get detailed reports about the xx others every day.

Repeating the reasons for the blood shed becomes a boring time waste.

No it's not wrong.  I hate these noisy look-at-me bikes.  Many (Thai) owners deliberately hole their exhaust to draw attention to their wankerdom.

Someone doing a quick take off at lights that just went green here is due a crash!
