Motorcyclist crashes into taxi after road rage incident (video)

A motorcyclist, in a blind fit of road rage with a car, neglected to assess the surrounding traffic and rear-ended a taxi. The incident, captured on video and shared widely online, has sparked a flurry of comments from social media users.

 

The heated dispute was posted on a Facebook page, with the clip showing a motorcyclist getting into an altercation with a car at a traffic light. The motorcyclist was seen hitting the car and making rude gestures. As the light turned green, he tried to follow the car but failed to notice the taxi ahead, resulting in a collision.

 

The video cuts off shortly after the crash, but the caption posted with it reads,

“Too busy cursing to look ahead, eh?”

This remark, along with the video, prompted a wave of online criticism. Many users condemned the motorcyclist’s behaviour and urged him to take responsibility for his actions, fearing he might flee the scene.

 

Incidents like this are a reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for drivers to remain focused and composed, even in frustrating situations. The motorcyclist’s actions not only put himself at risk but also endangered others on the road, reported KhaoSod.

 

In a related story, a minor altercation between two road users culminated in a road rage incident, where a taxi driver collided with a motorcyclist, running him over multiple times and dragging his bike along the road for over a kilometre before crashing into a utility pole.

 

In other news, a large python measuring over 4 metres was discovered slithering into the roof of a bathroom at a staff residence of a prominent company. The snake had previously bitten an employee, requiring nearly 40 stitches. The python was found again yesterday, July 9 at 10am.

 

Rescue workers from Chachoengsao were alerted to the presence of a massive python inside the premises of a company in Bang Pakong district, Chachoengsao province. They immediately rushed to the scene equipped with the necessary tools to handle the situation.

It´s just awesome!

I never understand Thai drivers... They are too busy with other things than the traffic... talking, looking back at their friends, arguing with other cars or motorcyclists, tailgating for unknown reasons, suddenly braking or take a turn.... It seems that they think they are only ones on the road.... Results accidents like this.. too much ego I suppose

You forgot to mention that they're so busy with their cellphone.  I spotted a motorcyclist yesterday, texting while riding.  Dumb just dumb.

YES! Without a doubt.

That level of poetic justice is brilliant... 

 

I'm not sure what happened to trigger the altercation, but the motorcyclist is clearly a complete womble...

 

This is what we are dealing with on the roads...    Half the people around us are below average intelligence, and some of those are at the bottom of that scale.

 

It was once mentioned to my a teachers... he said 'it frightened him to death to consider that some of the kids he has taught are now using the roads'....

 

There are complete idiots about who simply behave without self awareness or consciousness - they just 'act' and in doing so we witness utter stupidity.

Maybe it was a Grab driver who told the customer 5 minutes.
