Had one guy actually jumping up and down in excitement saying "Farang! Farang!" and thought he hit the jackpot. He was super disappointed when my insurance guy showed up, and even with my dashcam evidence he still wanted to go to the police station to negotiate.

 

Some substantial part of the population has zero ability to have consideration of others, it's like they live in their own little bubble and block out everything around them. They clearly aren't teaching consideration to their kids, just how to obey their elders. It's serious societal problem here if you ask me but it's not on anyones radar.

Jesus, you could cut them out of hedges here in Ireland the number that lose their lives on Quad bikes on farms!  Now riding one in Thailand on a motorway just opens up a  new dimension of mayhem !!!  Sad and RIP . 

 

 

 

It's a flyover, over a Motorway that is in Thailand...  'Thai motorway flyover'...

 

Its not a motorway - its a road going 'over a motorway'...  a flyover... over a motorway...

Oh dear....  Your little geographically-challenged heart seems to have stuffed up !!!... where exactly do you think Thailand’s freeways are?  This isn’t the United States.

 

And if your feeble grasp of terminology led you to believe freeway is some sort of interchangeable Americanism for motorway, then, as already pointed out (in numerous posts in this thread), you’re wrong twice. It wasn’t a motorway either.

 

As for your your use of the word idiot - it’s quite amusing how you’ve inadvertently become the embodiment of your own insult but seasoned it with your own element of nastiness and crassness.

Hardly any relevance...he was thrown 30 feet from an elevated road to the ground below.
