Spotted on the way to work this morning.

Needs no words really.

, Come sit in my garden for a beer and see what goes by every day, your pic is nothing, believe me.

Which one ?

That's just nuts. Do some people actively want to have a nasty accident?

Today, driving blind bend, solid yellow line. Truck and dog coming the other way, motorbike passes truck. We are in a big SUV no room to pull over. Bike goes between us and the truck. If the space had been any less I would have lost my mirror and rider would have gone under the truck. Up to Buddha. Jim

Not from OZ I guess. Jim

Actually, I used to have two dogs and sometimes three when off the beaten track south of Longreach headed for Isisford (and nobody was looking). Never lost any but did get one stuck on a fence once.

Don't sweat it Guesthouse.Stupidity is the norm here. A brain dead adult showing a future brain dead child what to do. The police don't care, The politicians don't care, most of the population wouldn't see what the problem is (and if pushed would see it only as funny). Just try to ignore it...laugh at the stupidity (or alternatively pray for their salvation)...and hope the child doesn't fall off in front of you as you would feel compelled to give assistance. Stupid is as stupid does.

What's wrong ? Just normal in Thailand, people have the right to kill their kids in this country it seems...

Drying his hair and avoiding the slipstream of the driver, perfectly sensible

Surely you mean the mirror???

So GuestHouse ... as you can well see by the TiTness of the replies ... nothing unusual in the photo for Thailand.

In the first photo, of the 2 motorcyclists ... which is considered the worse crime?

• The child standing on the back on the bike with no helmet?
  

• Or the man and child, neither with a helmet riding the wrong way up the street?
  

EDIT removed a comment and added a few

I'm with Guesthouse on this one.

Last Wednesday, in blinding rain, a car in front of me was driving the conditions, I was behind him keeping a close eye on the traffic and the roads, and an estate car loaded to the gunnels, can't see out of his rear view mirror, overtakes on a blind bend, he can't overtake fast because the roads are flowing with water.

I drop back because I know the bend, car coming the other way, on coming car brakes, car in front of me brakes and the car on the wrong side of the road brakes, contra indicatitions, smash somehow avoided, I still don't know how.

There are stupid people everywhere. Just take a look on the threads on the front page of General today and the responses to them, generally western posters, not going to kill anyone I suppose, but would you get in a car with them?

re .. Needs no words really.

the kids got a brother and two sisters ... just as stupid... in chiang mai : (

I saw the first pic and thought, "just 1 kid, that's not so bad," and then it dawned on me that maybe I have been here too long.

It's simply the darwinian process in action.

In Vietnam I once saw 2 guys on 2 motorbikes transporting a long bamboo ladder. Both had the ladder resting on their shoulders with their heads between the rungs.

Crazy indeed, i see so many crazy things on the road that i only respond to the most dangerous of them all. Usually i check if they are a danger to me or not.

im more afraid of encountering these trucks!

That's just a very light-weight load, empty plastic bottles or something. The truck doesn't look overloaded, unlike some trucks that carry water bottles or gas tanks or bricks, which are much less in volume, but severely overloaded.

A couple of weeks ago i had a motorcyclist crash into the back of my car while i was turning left, signals on etc, anyway after a few hours of him claiming it was my fault, followed by his colleague turning up and trying to get aggressive, then his boss turning up and being polite, it transpires I am the only one with insurance and eventually after my insurance turn up they admit fault and pay up to the insurance guy, I did have to seize his keys to stop him riding away also, anyway i digress, after this i head to collect my wife from the hospital and just as i am turning into the hospital i hear another bang, i think I have been hit again even though i saw nothing in my mirror before turning., I look to the left and see a pick up so over loaded the rear axle had just snapped as it was passing me. This is in the middle of bangkok

thats nothing. the front wheels are still on the ground.

And why cant i type in the quick reply box -- twitter, (which i dont use) seems to have taken that over.

He was driving the truck I think.

You mean overloaded like this? I think its fertalizer. The truck sounded like a thrashing machine.

Yes regarding the first picture. It is dangerous to carry a bag the way the student is. There are bag snatchers about who will grab the straps.

now, THIS is overloaded.
