You have made a lot of assumptions. You don't know if the driver is impaired. You assumed he was.

Fair enough, it is indeed an ASSumption. But.....in all my years here, it's an assumption based on probability. I'd put that probability at about 80% simply from the fact of the article (time of night, obvious high speed, bike type, etc.)

In which case don't drink and drive.

And the relevance to my post is?

Interesting.... I wonder what none restricted job a 45 year old Belgian might be doing until 05.30, night shift at the chocolate factory?

Nitpicking, but thanks anyway.

Seriously? You wish to compare the death of a middle aged man with a geriatric palliative care patient?

The deceased had decades left to live.

You were faster. He was 45 and we don't know whether he leaves dependants behind.

"collection by relatives" sounds like he was not alone here.

Lot of manufacturing companies down the road in Laem Chabang that employers foreigners.

 

Maybe he was working the 8pm to 5am shift (a shift we have at my place of employment), can easily do Laem Chabang to Khao Talo in 30 mins.
