pattayadingo Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It can be a nightmare crossing those 4 lanes to get to a U-turn. You almost need eyes in the back of your head. RIP to the motorcyclist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yes, but patience is required. People do have a habit of just moving across multiple lanes on the assumption that everyone will see and/or stop for them. I don't know what happened in this instance but have narrowly avoided many such bikes moving from behind a car unseen from a lane to my left right into my path and even at normal speeds braking takes time and distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattel Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thais have this attitude that ' if I can see you, you can see me'. The trouble is that it doesnt always work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semper Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thais have this attitude that ' if I can see you, you can see me'. The trouble is that it doesnt always work. Absolute <deleted>. This is a normal human "attitude" and is not specific to Thais. What in the world gave you this idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
