He was not a foreigner... He is half Thai... Jeez.. I can not believe you actually got likes for your bashing. He was racing to pass someone and struck a motorcycle. You do not know anything more than that. It does not even say if he was passing in the correct lane.

'70% of news stories on here are about tragic accidents on the death roads,' - speed is the biggest killer; a direct result of having no police force. - 'RIP RIP RIP RIP' RTP.

"...a direct result of having no police force..."

 

A direct result of having no adequately-financed police force.

Improperly overtaking another vehicle resulting in a head-on collision and death... My thinks the Brit best be ready to suffer his freedom and/or finances, or flee the Kingdom.

Here in Bangkok, never happen, in fact our highway patrol encourages people to speed down the emergency lane during heavy traffic. I have never seen such insanity in my whole life until I came here, the RTP has blood on it's hands.

Nonsense.  When the (expressway?) traffic is so heavy that using that lane is deemed a necessity by the police, by definition, traffic cannot "speed down the emergency lane".

Death Penalty needed Thailand, to stop these crimes. This urchin deserves death Penalty to send notice to others who don't care about others. RIP to the victims.

Given that 73% of the road fatalities in Thailand are motorbike riders, statistically, you are 50% more likely to be killed in a car crash in the USA

What?  What have those two "statistics" got to do with each other - or this thread?  The likelihood of being killed in a car accident in the US is statistically ("50%") greater than what?

You can witness it for yourself, go any weekday at about 6am on Sirat Expressway heading South near the new Bang Sue main train station......it's not like it's a secret, in fact they encourage people to exit the highway into the on-ramps then into the emergency lanes at highspeed, most dangerous thing I have ever seen.

 

You claim it happens every weekday but the picture you use to demonstrate this is from May 2022; almost 3 years ago!  Surely a weekday occurrence would have more recent evidence?

Secondly that is a picture of the Thai police wearing the correct Hi-Viz vests and using traffic cones to regulate traffic in response to some incident (accident, congestion, other traffic issue) and ensure that traffic moves more smoothly.

Some people just don’t read past the headline . If we get down to the genetic level for the cause of this crash , I’d wager it was his Thai genetics that were to blame, if he was at fault and driving  like an idiot 

Why the unjustified, uninformed Thai-bash?   Why would you not wager that his foreign genetics were to blame?

I really don't know why so many Brits are involved in accidents, illegals, crimes. Sure, if they are representing the majority of foreigners here? But almost every day there is something connected to British citizens (some Russians, some Chinese). 

Why is that?

No Britons (Russians nor Chinese) were involved in this accident.

Picture from responders.

 

A road crash on Soi Nern Plub Wan in Nong Prue, near Pattaya,  left one woman dead and another seriously injured late night on 28 January. The incident involved a Toyota Fortuner driven by a 19-year-old British-Thai man and a red Yamaha Grand Filano motorcycle carrying two riders.

 

At approximately 23:05 Pol Lt. Damchalouay Samkanying, Deputy Inspector of Nong Prue Police Station, received a report of a collision between a car and a motorcycle near Soi Mab Yailia 49. Emergency responders from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation were dispatched to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, officers discovered the silver Toyota Fortuner, registration from Bangkok, with  front-end damage. It had collided with the red Yamaha Grand Filano, registration number from Chonburi, which was wrecked on the road.

 

 

The motorcycle rider, identified as Ms. Kulthida, 19, and her passenger Ms. Thassanee, sustained critical injuries. Rescue workers rushed them to a nearby hospital. Tragically, Ms. Thassanee succumbed to her injuries shortly after arrival.

 

Eyewitnesses reported that the Fortuner, driven by Mr. Lewis 19, was allegedly travelling at speed, honking aggressively to overtake other vehicles before striking the motorcycle. The impact sent both the riders and the bike flying and dragged them more than 100 metres along the road.

 

Footage from CCTV cameras confirmed the Fortuner overtaking a car at high speed before colliding head-on with the motorcycle, causing sparks and dragging the wreckage along the road.

 

Pol Lt. Damchalouay took Mr. Lewis into custody and conducted a breathalyser test, which found no alcohol in his system. Investigators are reviewing the footage and gathering additional evidence to determine whether reckless driving charges will be filed.

 

The body of the deceased will be handed over to her family for funeral rites, while the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident continues.

But they found something in negligible amount, synaptic activity....

RTP cannot solve this issue. It is the people driving making the stupid decisions to do what they do.  Poorly educated, selfish, not caring.

 

Oh ....I get it, stop nobody, that'll solve the issue? Start stopping people, handing out huge fines, and/or tow dangerous drivers away. Eventually, the idiots will learn, one way or the other.

bkk6060 did not suggest that.  The government needs to provide adequate budget and equipment for the RTP officers to be able to patrol the roads and actually do what you demand, and what most people also, probably, want.

They are literally sitting in a booth, or on their motorcycles at intersections, ignoring people breaking the law, why are they there?!

If it's daily, take a picture and show us; or just blame Google!  I don't think you can say there was no accident as it was Google, and you obviously weren't there to see if there was something further down the road.

Just as they do in your country, I suppose?   Or, if they don't yet (they don't), are you in favour of introducing the death penalty to drivers for the same offences there, also?

No excuse for driving like that. I 've never been to Pattaya, but I thought the Police there were clamping down on bad driving due to the number of accidents.

His parents might be in for a large compensation bill.

this was East Pattaya, so where most people will live long time. So he will probably have been the son of a local expat. With a young boy who just got his driving license.  Generally dangerous driving there with all the motorbikes. This is actually my fear by the time my son grows up and gets 18. I dont want him to ever drive a motorbike around here with the daily motorbike accidents and deaths i see here on the road. But buying him a pickup of some sort will keep him safe, but 

my fear is that he will hit someone like this when driving by himself and not having road experience yet to handle all traffic situations as you should really think for the other drivers here.

What is it about "daily" that you don't get? Anyone who travels this route knows this, IT IS NO SECRET! Go there yourself, I avoid it like the plague now, but my wife has no choice.

i saw yesterday 2 girls on one motorbike there that looked like they killed themselves as they were not moving anymore and police there to take pictures. Believe it was Boonsampan. Did not see it anywhere online, but maybe in the Thai local news as no foreigner connection was evident.

If the RTP did their job and stopped fined and impounded as many as they can the driving public will change.
