Were you born this hateful or did you have to move to Thailand to realize how special you are?

What should I show someone who almost knocked me over on the sidewalk whilst I was walking back home from dinner, love and understanding??

 

What if I had a child with me and he knocked him down?

 

What then????

Stop making up divisive nonsense that never happened. You are fomenting hate and resentment over fake complaints. Daily!

Maybe youd prefer the forum to be dead instead

Are you saying that Thai people never drive on the footpaths then?

Should motorbikes be allowed to drive on the sidewalk?

 

What a completely stupid question.

But they do it all the time.

 

And many people came out in support of such selfish, ignorant acts the other day when I initially posed the question.

But it doesn't make it right. Up to them. Their country.

How about the bleedin road!!

 

That's what it's there for.

 

The pavement/sidewalk/footpath should be for walking only.

 

Imagine seeing someone in the UK driving down a pavement at full speed, or in Australia, or Switzerland...

Could you imagine it? There would be uproar and rightly so!!

What is the average IQ in western countries compaired to the IQ in Thailand? I rest my case.

Conversely I would allow preteens to use bicycles on pavements/footpaths as they are too young for roads. 

I flattened a guy for riding his pedal bike towards me in the centre of a busy Glasgow, but that was years ago before all these CCTV camera's.

Yeah it might look a little strange in a western country. I do it all the time here along highways and interchanges and so do the cops, besides there are no pedestrians in those areas.

You outta be a bit more careful next time 

How can you say that?? Some day there may well just be someone taking a shortcut or some child playing there.

What about the level of ignorance displayed by the THAI motorbike driver who was going full speed on a SIDEWALK??...

 

Any thoughts on that?

 

Full speed you say...... most of these scoots can easily do 90 km/h+

 

i reckon you are full of <deleted>.

Thats the one Transman stalked and chased away  ?

Transman?? Don't you mean Transam? I don't know if Transam chased him away or not.

Many Many Policemen do it, so  i guess others think it's ok to follow, I'm sure it's why  most footpaths  are cracked  and uneven

I have never seen a farang ride a motorbike on the pavement, but if ever I see one riding towards me there will be consequences, and that is not a threat, it is a promise.

Big guy. Big scary guy.
Everyone on this forum, and the sidewalk is so scared now.

I wouldn't know, but as I said I would just block him like I have done with others.

If they ride their motorbike on the pavement towards me, they'd better be. Are you one of them?

#1 your poll doesn't mention  or specify 'driving fast', to which I feel most people would vote no

#2 I would be surprised if MANY people have shown SUPPORT for motorbikes driving FAST down sidewalks

 

When I'm walking, I get out of their way.

When I'm riding on the pavement (very occasionally) I do so slowly, for as short a distance as possible, and always giving way and showing respect to pedestrians.

 

They often come up from behind without me knowing. They don't sound their horns or anything. Just zoom past within inches of my arms.
