I see it all the time while driving... Motorbike drivers with no patience going around big trucks. Basically, cause their own injuries.

Visited Central Westgate in BKK yesterday, driving back on the main road it was raining heavily with standing water and flooded areas for miles, watching the nutters driving like idiots without a care for safety was enlightening...

Like the motorbikes weaving in and out of the three lanes, seeing them navigate the large flooded areas surrounded by vehicles and the large trucks.
