LennyW Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Nasty, but unfortunately there are probably over a thousand bike riders who go against the traffic on this section of Sukhumvit daily (from Toongklom Talman the wrong way) and the traffic is travelling very quick on this stretch, for the sake of 100m too!! , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESB7 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 so it is clearly the girls wrong doing ( RIP ) but why did the driver flee the scene? Because when a bike is involved, its still the car/truck/bus driver that has to 'pay'..regardless of anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 but why did the driver flee the scene? Drunk. Drugged. Carrying weapons. Carrying drugs. Carrying forgeries or myriad other illegal items. No licence. No ID. Illegal immigrant. Wanted by the police. Take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
