Difficult to let it go from your mind, how could I have possibly over-reacted? How many people would not say a word being hit by a bike very hard? Who will be next for this person, will it be a girl or maybe some Thai just going about his or her business? This person and his red mist problem will kill someone or he will pick on the wrong person, someone who will fight back, best of luck to him if he does pick on the wrong person.

You wrote that he hit your wing mirror 'quite hard', and you lost your temper. All I'm suggesting is that it's best to stay cool regarding minor incidents.

In hind site I should have just smiled and said "thanks for that, have a good day" Doubt me not saying anything would have helped, he was crazy, the red mist is a well known phenomenon.

June 11, 2025Jun 11 Author Because of the way I'm feeling about this I'm going to the police to file a report, they can't find him but it will help me deal with this, right now what could have happened is stuck in my mind. What he did could have hurt me and other people who were driving in the same direction. Hopefully I will get over this in time, at the moment I can't focus on anything other than "what if"

What if I don't want to be short and 73? What if I want to be thirty years younger, 6 feet tall, and look like Brad Pitt? Time to be realistic--this is Thailand.

Time to be realistic--this is Thailand. Can't afford a car even if I could I wouldn't buy one, been driving bikes for approx 55 years I'm not going to give it up now, I'll get video system fitted to both bikes, first time road rage has ever happened to me doubt it will ever happen again.

I was just driving in a straight line when he hit my nearside wing mirror hard, straight away he just went crazy He admitted to being angry because his day had been bad. It's shaken me up quite abit, I keep thinking what if he had pushed me into oncoming traffic, I've seen many RTA's I don't want to be another one. you did well to retain your composure under the circumstances.

I'm not one to panick, I went into survival mode, I knew to get somewhere safe, my local market was only a couple of minutes away, had I stopped straight away it would have been very bad, getting to my safe place gave him time to calm down, live another day. Cheers mate.
