This video is from a Ducati club member riding towards Ladprao / Ratchada:

He was clearly on the left lane, maybe they expected him to scrape the pavement? My Thai isn't good enough to figure out exactly how he talked his way out of it but they finally let him go.

He should have told them from the start he had a camera, they would have let him go in an instant.

It was very clear he wasn't in the wrong, but still the officer tried to put an offence on him.

Every time they ask me where I come from, I tell them the name of my country, confuses the hell out of them, because they actually think I rode my bike from there tongue.png

As I understood it, the police is trying to tell him that he should have stuck to the dedicated motorcycle lane. You can see it clearly on the left, between the kerb and where they had put the cones.

Whatever, I agree that to me, it was very clear he wasn't in the wrong but these bloody BIB's are a classic example of some of the things that are very wrong with Thailand.

Won't it be great to have it both ways? Pay a relatively cheap bribe if in the wrong and not having to pay anything if in the right? Haha.

Dedicated motorcycle lane? Where I come from, that is a bicycle lane.

And the more on the left you ride, the more dangerous it gets, should we clean out the gutters now?
