Don't forget the window tint !!! I'm actually attributing the reasons that he didn't see the stopped motorcycle to handful of factors 1) Under the influence of alcohol (new info) 2) Wearing dark Glasses while driving (probably) 3) Dark tint on the windows (probably) 4) Drifted out of the driving lane (possibly - onto the shoulder - due to drink or visibility or both) 5) No / very poor lighting on the bridge (as per photos) 6) Motorcycle lights not working or turned off (possibly - not uncommon here for rear lights not to work) 7) Motorcycle not stopped fully out of the driving lane (possibly - careless parking is not uncommon) All of the above are possible factors and causes for the incident - but I'd put the primary factors down to drink (new info) and him not being able to see clearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you can not handle your booze if you think that is 4x the DUI limit. He was speeding. I never speed after having a couple of beers. So I would be fine to drive at 0.106%, but if I was four times over I wouldn’t, especially if I was wearing sunglasses and had tinted windows. Many places in the world the limit is 0.08%. So it is just slightly over. You won’t believe this but I actually got let off and allowed to drive home at .01% previously. The policeman could see I was fine to drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar is set very low for the % because some people are affected by alcohol more than others. I seem to remember you saying that after a couple it affects you. secondly, some people go stupid on the booze and drive faster than they normally would or more reckless. Which is why I am advocating if you do have a couple, make sure to drive at a very safe speed and follow all road laws. This will not only stop you getting pulled over most of the time but it will save lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUI is illegal, even for fools who think using the world 'dick' to play on the name 'richard' is a clever thing to do... Do you think the bar should be set differently for you ??... because you metabolise alcohol differently than anyone else ?... 1 hour ago, MalcolmB said: secondly, some people go stupid on the booze and drive faster than they normally would or more reckless.

I do get your point, if having one or two beers and remaining under the legal limit to drive, of course behaviour is more readily moderated. However, you champion the example of someone unable to moderate their behavior given the idiocy of some of your comments on this forum - a sensible limit for someone such as yourself who is so capable of pulling the wool over their own eyes really should be zero !!!.. 1 hour ago, MalcolmB said: This will not only stop you getting pulled over most of the time but it will save lives. You know what saves lives ??? Idiots who don't believe they are beyond the law and attempt to apply their own interpretation of DUI rules and how alcohol impacts them. Additionally, while I have no proof other than the reckless disregard you have shown in previous comments... I don't believe you stop at two cans of beers etc... you just drink whatever you want and think you can drive carefully because you decided to 'go slowly'.... Those halfwitted attitudes are what causes accidents.... I'm sure Tik Shiro thought... He's ok... He's only had a few beers, if he drives carefully it'll be ok - just like all the other drink drivers who end killing people - you all suffer from the same antisocial delusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. But there have been times I knew I had had too much and then I got a taxi, slept it off or got a ride. That happened three weeks ago, I knew I was gone, I handed my keys over the bar, only a short trip but I still didn’t risk it. Some people shouldn’t drink at .05 and will drive like idiots some people are ok at .15%, will drive safely. I know you don’t agree, but it is the reality. We don’t really know if Tik would have hit them if he had not of had a drink at all, he was speeding and they had stopped on a narrow bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was it reported that Tik was speeding ? where is there any witness statement that he was speeding ? Who are these people at the scene you are talking off ???... .... his was on a bridge... do you think there were 'other people' standing around on the bridge and witnessed this incident ??? ... On the scene at the time of the event were 5 people (if I'm not mistaken) - 3 with the motorcycle (1 dead, 1 in hospital serious injured and another) - 2 in the car (Tik and a female who appears to be with him) Tik admitted to breaking the speed limit in the Thai media ? really - share that link, I have not seen any Thai media where he admits to breaking the speed limit on that road. Jinnapa was there... did she see the van approaching ? Did she make any statement as to the speed of the approaching van ? (if she did make a statement how the van's speed) How can she possibly guess the 'speed' and know the van was speeding ? You are doubling down on every possible way to argue that it was everything else other than the obvious - booze and poor visibility that cased this accident.

richard_smith237 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 6 minutes ago, MalcolmB said: Yes. How fast was he going ?? The female presenters simply stated 'fast' - that's not evidence or even indication that he was speeding... its just her opinion that from the CCTV is looks like he's going 'fast'... The CCTV footage does now show Tic speeding - it just shows the van's travelling. It also shows the car travelling in the opposite direction taking a similar amount of time to cross the screen - thus travelling at a similar speed. Speed limit on that road is likely to be 80kmh... Does the footage show he was exceeding that ? IMO - its impossible to tell from that footage... Again - where is the proof that he was speeding ?? - there is none. BUT - there is proof that he was DUI... and he was wearing dark glasses in every photo. Speeding may 'also be involved'.... In fact - as he was likely to be wearing dark glasses, and was 2x the legal driving limit his reactions would have been slower to a) initially see the motorcycle, and b) to react to it - so if travelling faster than he 'could see' - i.e. outdriving his vision and reaction, then yes, speed is a factor - but there is no evidence of 'speeding'.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can show me any video or photo of him driving the van without dark glasses I'll stand corrected. If you can show me any video or photo of him without dark glasses at any point that evening - then I'll buy into the possibility that he may not have been driving with dark glasses. What we know so far: - Tik (driver) DUI - 2x legal limit (blood test taken back at station, so his reading would have been higher at the time). - Dark glasses (in every photo) - Motorcycle sticking out 20cm into the driving lane Why do I keep bringing up his 'dark glasses' when no one else is ? (question asked earlier) - because, as part of this discussion and debate - I believe this to be a major factor along with DUI for the cause of the incident... I suspect poor visibility at night to be a major factor in many accidents at night in Thailand (of course, along with the obvious one - booze & DUI).

(You're a drink driver and you're calling me a d!ck ok - we can get over the personal stuff and continue the discussion).... ... what is the root cause ?... thats what I'm trying to discuss.... So far I see root cause as: - Tik (driver) DUI - 2x legal limit - Poor visibility (Tik was wearing dark glasses in every photo / window tint ? poor lighting) - Motorcycle sticking out 20cm into the driving lane So far you have highlighted, speed... - Do you see speed as a route cause ?... - Do you see that only speed was the root cause, or in your opinion do you see other factors too ? - Again, how fast was he going ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmB Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 44 minutes ago, richard_smith237 said: what is the root cause ?.. Must have been the window tint according to the experts, witnesses, police, CCTV and Tic himself. The same window tint that had been on the vehicle for the last 5 years that had never been a problem. It suddenly darkened, blinding Tic and brought this tragic accident on. As a result of the blinding he now wears dark glasses as is common with blind people. So who to believe, the eye witnesses, the cctv, the police inquiry, the reports and Tic?

If he ‘could’ see the Motorbike he would not have driven into it. How fast was he going ? - you still can’t answer that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
