Lack of Lighting Blamed

Rip .

Is this a new excuse/Blame for accidents? 

No way this  is possible . there are Lights on a Bike and Lights on cars they are there to see where one is going  at night  without street lights  Pretty simple isn't it.

And now, copy and paste this story, and do it again, and again, and again.

 

Every day about 50 people die on Thai streets, every single day.

And nobody really cares.

Have you noticed at nigh how many motorcycles no tail light ? 🤔 There are too many of them.

Need to do a toxicology report on the rider….if he just wasn’t on the pavement to start with, street lights wouldn’t be an excuse….

 

never the fault of the behaviors of the drivers…always on external factors….driving behavior or their decision making is never faulted/accountable

And to be seen.

So many bikes in rural areas have non-functional lights... it's as if they take the bulbs out to save on petrol. Even if not, I often see a headlight blocked by something in the front basket... two or three kids, or the family dog maybe.
