These very same netizens who sit in their chairs and moan and groan about what's going on in Thailand, and the crazy acts that foreigners are committing, are the exact same people who appear to be reasonable human beings, who then get behind a wheel and drive like absolute maniacs, taking the kinds of risks nobody would dream of taking with their families in the car. They will make u-turns on a four-lane highway with vehicles traveling at 120 kph and cut right in front of a car even though there's nobody behind them for a thousand meters, and yet they sit on their keyboards complaining about somebody riding a bicycle and swerving a bit. 

 

Sorry. Zero credibility. 

Try reading the page of all this alleged outrage.

4 people make a comment on Facebook is the sum of it.

 

But thanks for your long winded netizen outrage and nice whataboutism.

I thought all vehicles are supposed to move to the righthand lane when turning right. But he didn't use his right arm to signal what he intended.

Even on a motorbike, I was pulled over for moving into the righthand lane once when wishing to turn right. I really did not know what to say to the policeman.

When I'm riding my motorbike and want to do a right hand turn ahead, I get out to the right hand lane in plenty of time. I do not care what any rule says,  genuine common sense is more important than any rule.

If I wait too long in the left hand lane and signal to move to the right hand lane, do you think any vehicle is going to let me move out to do my right hand turn?

These "thai netizens " need to get a grip, I have to use my horn more times in one day than I did driving 25 years in the UK. 

 

Thai driving is why I don't wait people any more, same person will give a polite wai then try to kill you when they are behind a steering wheel and some tinted glass
