Basil B Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I hope he has good insurance... Accidents like this are normally carelessness on the part of two or more drivers. I would have avoided saying "driving at high speed" , translated into Thai that is an admission of speeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit off topic, but would a car cam be of any use in cases like this (I'm planning to buy one) ? It is a good idea to have one (I don't leave home without it) and I think in this case will at least prove the "cutting in front" statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davejones Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Her fault but we know who will get the blame.. Sounds like his fault. If there was a bike nearby, he should have been watching it, not looking in mirror and overtaking cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Bound Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I hope he is loaded. Can't believe he stopped. Not the Thai way at all. They'll learn... if he has 1st class insurance he will be OK What would you consider 1st class insurance, too cover you through thick and thin? I ask because I had an accident totalling my VW Touareg 1 1/2 years in Indonesia. It was quite feat I touched, grazed and side swipped 11 cars before running it smack dab in to a big oak next to the road. No I was not drunk, medical issues. But between the cars I hit and totally the Touareg Kurnia in Jakarta paid out over 170,000 USD. The the insurance group that Kurnia handles IHI/BUPA paid out over 1/2 million USD to GlenEagles Singapore for my 4 months stay. It was definitely not a good month for them or myself.

The insurance company representative does all the work on your behalf. The issue in Thailand is some foreigners do not obtain the bail bond insurance so they have to negotiate with the police & must pay cash, otherwise they are detained. as well as negotiate directly with the friendly local police for victim compensation etc Edited February 7, 2013 by simple1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would be better if the nice helpfu, police do not know i have access to that kind of cash otherwise the prices may go up in other parts of the same situation. By the way to anyone here, what is the unwritten rule here regarding the bigger vehicle? What I mean is in Indonesia the when an accident occurs the larger car is at fault. Especially when idiots not paying attention driving smaller motorcycles are at fault and hit a car, 98% of the time the car is ruled at fault, pays all damages ect ect ect becuase oviously it is larger and that owner obviously has the larger wallet so..... Does any ridiculous logic like that apply here on the roads here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denizen Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Her fault but we know who will get the blame.. Rush to judgment. There is no evidence it was her fault.

Sorry,cannot agree,more likely she cut in front of him,this happens to me every week,so far I've been very lucky not to have been involved in a accident with one of these m/cycle people, They know where they want to go,and presumably they think the other motorist should also know,what they are about to do.

Popular Post Suradit69 Posted February 8, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2013 Her fault but we know who will get the blame.. How could you possibly know who was at fault? This "unbiased" report detailing what he was doing and what she did appears to be solely based on his account of what happened ... including the comment that he was travelling at "high speed." And certainly in most cases if you rear-end someone it means you were at fault. Distracted by looking in your rear-view mirror or playing with the radio or on the mobile phone or whatever aren't normally considered the basis for a rock solid defense. It's almost as if you felt able to assign guilt using the standard TV formula: Farang-good, Thai-bad. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
