Police are speculating that Hastings may have been speeding before losing control of the vehicle.

 

So no evidence that he was speeding then. Thai Police are really a bunch of uneducated clowns.

 

RIP Colin, met you once or twice in Bangkok on the usual circuit.

    How about all the amateur-forensic "sleuths" give it a rest?   I for one have lost a friend, and I'm pretty uninterested in pointless speculation about the details of his demise right now.

Deaths rarely occur without speed and the damage indicates significant speed. Abusing the police won't change the facts.

Thanks for the "expert" comment but an article in the newspaper we can't mention by his friend and colleague Roger Crutchley says he had a heart attack when driving and lost control.

Colin was a well-regarded member of the expat community in Thailand and a friend to many (including myself) and I find these ghoulish enquires disrespectful.

 

Where's all the whiners that say motorcycles are dangerous and no one should be driving them? I would  expect the same nonsense about cars when someone dies in a car accident.

I am one of those whiners.

motorcyle accidents are more frequent and much more likely to lead to death or serious injury.

 

It's a pretty good blog.

You said he had a heart attack so you are offended by your own comments.
