Perhaps because he was already deceased?

Do you not see the ambulance guy on the left - the one wearing the white gloves?

Do you not see the white sheet covering body?

Maybe his leg was detached from the rest of his body !

^^^Seconds after the crash, someone picked up the motorbike, than went to see if they could help him. A few moments later the French man took his last breath, and died in a pool of his own blood.

Until they headbutt a lamp post.... i have a choice of 7....how paranoid must i be?

Never has been. Seen plenty of stupid/drunk foreigners in traffic, both tourist and expat.

Currently a whole bunch of dummy tourists here riding like boneheads. I think I had the French ATM skimming crew blast by me going downhill into Karon around a bus the other day, with oncoming bus coming up the hill. Felt poorly for the pillion girls about to get demolished.........bad pavement, buses, speed, no helmets.............tick, tock,tick,tock, just a matter of time.
