A dramatic incident occurred on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road in Bangkok when a big bike was forced off the road by a car and ended up in the median strip’s bushes. The shocking footage was captured and posted on TikTok by user @noeyjirawadee.

 

The incident, which happened yesterday, October 10, shows the motorbike rider travelling in the middle lane behind a car. As the bike attempts to overtake, the car suddenly veers to the right, either attempting a sudden lane change or intentionally pushing the bike off the lane. This caused the motorbike to fall, and the rider was thrown into the median strip filled with bushes.

 

The car involved, which is believed to be a silver MG ZS, sped off without stopping to check on the rider’s condition. Fortunately, the motorbike rider was not seriously injured and received help from other motorists.

“At first, I didn’t catch what happened. I didn’t think my dashcam would record the event. When I got home and reviewed the footage, I saw it all. Based on what I saw, the car that hit the bike was a silver MG ZS (couldn’t see the licence plate). I want to send the clip to the motorbike rider, in case it helps. I feel guilty for not getting their contact number right away.”

 

The video shows the big bike riding steadily on the road until the abrupt manoeuvre by the car caused the collision. The rider, although shaken, managed to escape with minor injuries. The incident has garnered significant attention online, with many viewers expressing outrage over the car driver’s reckless behaviour and the subsequent hit-and-run.

 

Community members and viewers are encouraged to share any information they might have about the incident, particularly concerning the silver MG ZS, to assist in the investigation, reported KhaoSod.

I'm not so sure - it looks more like an utter idiot attempting to make a quick lane change and had no idea the bike was next to them. 

 

Regardless - the driver was a total ayhole for driving off like that - should get a ban for dangerous driving and fleeing the scene of an accident. 

 

 

Another point: I think motorcycles and not permitted in the central lanes (3 lanes in either direction) on Vibhavadi Ransit Rd.

There are a couple of problems here.

The motorcycle rider is illegally riding on that street. 

This means any car driver should (legally) not have to worry about motorcycles.

The car driver changes the lane. Probably he saw the car behind the motorcycle, and if he paid attention, then he knows that that car was in that position for "some time".

Unfortunately, with the blind/dead angle in most mirrors, the driver did not see the motorcycle rider in the mirror.

And, legally it was not possible that a motorcycle suddenly appeared in that place on the road.

So, I think there is a lot of blame on the motorcycle rider. And I say this as someone who rides motorcycle all the time, including on that road.

 

Personally, I try to ride with my bike so that I am as little as possible in any place which is in that dead angle of mirrors. Because anybody who ever drive a car and looked at that dead angle knows that there is a lot of space to put a bike and even a car and looking in the mirror, we just don't see it. That's the reason why we learn in driving school to turn our head.

I don't think the rider was riding illegally, saying that, Thailand does have a stupid law on some roads that motorbikes must be riden in the slow lane 

 

 

Lane filtering is now legal Australia when in slow traffic

I don’t think it’s anything to do with lane splitting. He shouldn’t have been on the car right of the highway, technically in some places, bikes should be over in the frontage, they shouldn’t be over on the right. Idk, riding those highways under the expressways used to scare the crap out of me.

Yes, this strange law on some roads. 

 

Hopeful, if the cops look at the video, they'd be charging the car driver.

As a rider and driver with 50+ years experience driving in many countries and conditions I know exactly why this happened.

Ignoring the legality of the bike's use of the road - you have to be extraordinarily unlucky to get booked in Thailand!!

 

1. The driver did not check the mirror and turn head before the lane change
I am always aware what is behind me on the right - so this driver was careless

2. the rider was riding the line between the 2nd and 3rd lane as this is where the gap is

 but if you do that you have to be acutely aware of the movement of cars around you and watch for the signs of change

3. if lane splitting at speed you have to move back quickly to the centre of the lane after the overtake - doing this would have avoided the collision but he was slow and imprecise in the movement on the video assuming all the cars would stay in place

 

The moral of this is if moving through the traffic like this you have to have 360 degree radar or you will get hit

Drivers should watch their mirrors for bikes coming from behind

Although some of the idiots I have seen on bikes in Thailand go so fast to overtake it is a miracle they survive

 

My opinion is both were at fault and the rider was very lucky indeed

Just to be pedantic as a rider who refuses to follow this. 

Thailand doesnt have a law that says bikes must ride in the slow lane, but the police, lawyers, judges and courts seem to think it is the law and apportion blame accordingly. 

Go through the road traffic act and code with a fine tooth comb and no such law exists. There is one line which applies equally to cars bikes and any other road user which says something like 'all vehicles should remain in the leftmost lane unless overtaking'. 

[hotchilli]

Deliberate or not the driver was out of order.

[chiman]

Glad the bike rider is ok.. but if you have driven here for a long time (17 years here) you already know that most bike riders deserve to end ip on the bushes… especially the moto taxi and messengers 

[ronster]

Looks pretty deliberate as the sudden speed increase to the right and back again doesn't really match the speed or way someone would move if going to the next lane .

[Zack61]

As usual the change of lane was done without using the indicator. I’m not sure why car manufacturers even bother to put indicators in Thai cars. They either use them way too late, or more often, not at all. 

[Xonax]

Cars and motorbikes are moving at totally different speeds on these roads, which leads to countless dangerous situations.  I am having these near death experiences every time I am driving my motorbike in Bangkok. Lane splitting is a dangerous sport for motorbike riders, who should only be doing this at own risk, since every time you are overtaking a car, there will be a split-second, where you are hiding in the cars blind angle and many car drivers are constantly changing lanes, in a desperate hope to predict the fastest moving lane.

This is certainly not illegal, call it lane splitting, under or overtaking is certainly allowed with certain condition even in Thailand.

Looking at the heading of article then video prior I though the car might done it intentional cause that is the mentality of so many drivers here. I see it everyday happens to me daily driver come tailgate squeeze into lanes to pass with very little room drivers are so disensitized to the danger bikes legal or not stand no chance against a ton of steel.

From the video and Ive been on this road the driver never looked what is bad left the scene.

The bike wasnt recklessly speeding  or passing illegally.

Any rod almost anywhere in Thailand has bad drivers...I use this road often and it's usual to see drivers cut in quickly....umpteen times in half an hour. Using mirrors is novel!
