That junction is deadly with cars frequently double parking outside the 7-11 blocking the inside lane,to avoid the need to walk 20-30 extra metres to the store. Vehicles pulling out of Soi Greenway often have to move into the fast moving centre lane traffic to avoid the badly parked vehicles. I certainly wouldn't assume that the blame in this instance should fall fully on the unfortunate motorcyclist.

Condolences to his family.
