Thalang – Traffic Police warned reckless motorbike riders who rode under a trailer truck in Cherng Talay.

The Cherng Talay Traffic Police told the Phuket Express about the occurrence that took place earlier this week at the Cherng Talay Junction in which a trailer truck was carrying concrete poles and was moving through a yellow light.

 

 

When the light turned red, the trailer truck, a very long vehicle was stuck at the traffic lights at the junction and the trailer truck was now blocking traffic. Two unidentified motorbike riders, who seemed to be in a hurry and were waiting to go when the lights turned green decided to ride under the trailer truck.

Why not? Truck was stopped, riders could probably see cars in front also stopped.  Not so different than most things i see.

Well done the lads! 😁

What do you expect in this country?? If you see how people behave in traffic nothing is impossible of strange anymore and the accidents that occur is just bad karma or luck they think..

Indeed..  and for whatever reason the truck was stopped...   close behind it, riding closely infront of it, closely to the side of it (especially the inside if turning) is an extremely dumb endeavour...   Riding underneath it takes that stupidity to new heights.

Some people just cannot wait for one minute... 

These imbeciles driving those motorbikes might not have even known where they were going, but they sure knew that they had to get there fast. That was a pretty stupid move and they could have paid a very high price for it. There is a very good chance they are not long for this world. 

Obviously both rigorously with no helmets - and in front of police officers.

Who did nothing, at least, not on camera. Oh wait. The headline says they warned them.

Displays the mind of many thai drivers.

No, the police warned other riders, not the perps.

 

The lights at that junction have very slow phasing and the number of traffic violations is laughable, particularly as the Cherngtalay police station is just out of shot on the right hand side and there are invariably cops there - I've never seen them give chase, let alone pull anyone over.
