Anthony5 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The OP was sitting still, at a traffic light, with cars ahead and behind, when someone runs into him, yet some believe it is his fault.... Only on TVF... He only claims to have been stationary at the moment the mirror was taken off. Before that, he seems to have been fixated on not allowing the BMW to cut into the lane in front of him. Which was perfectly legal. But we would contend, not very nice, not very smart, and contrary to local driving customs. and contrary to local driving customs. As in, most Thais will let you get in front of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow64 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) The OP was sitting still, at a traffic light, with cars ahead and behind, when someone runs into him, yet some believe it is his fault.... Only on TVF... no sir, that was only part of the entire event........by his own admissionI think you are confused with what happened. During this traffic incident I was stationary at a red light. There was no lead up as some have put it.. I could see what was happening but was stationary so it was not possible for me to even let him in.I have called this thread "I am never wrong driver" it would seem many posters on this thread would have been of the same attitude as this driver. Seems a lot of the bad drivers styles have rubbed off on many here. Edited May 23, 2015 by wow64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Driving home last night in the evening rush on Narathiwas Road/Sathorn intersection BKK had a driver in a BMW Z4 consistently driving/merging into my lane." there was clearly a build-up even by your account...... It seems to me that you could also include yourself in the attitude referred to in the title? Your account certainly doesn't seem to suggest you as the arbiter of what is good or bad driving in Thailand Edited May 23, 2015 by cumgranosalum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I have called this thread "I am never wrong driver" it would seem many posters on this thread would have been of the same attitude as this driver. Seems a lot of the bad drivers styles have rubbed off on many here. We drive just fine. But we have adjusted to the driving customs here (where we are actually driving) without passing judgment on whether they are good or they are bad. And that means sometimes we let people cut in front of us even though we really do have the legal right of way. Sometimes at a red light, I even back up to make room for the guy. (Have to admit that sometimes I still play slow speed chicken, but I always regret it right after I do- so I try not to do it so much) Because I'd rather lose 10 seconds at the light, than hold up traffic (and my own progress) for an hour because the other guy dented me. Even if it's his fault, and I have it all on camera, what fun is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was and went past in the process taking off his mirror. "In a z4 consistently driving/ merging into my lane.. "I understand its always blame the farang here.. granted I should have jumped out of my car and warned him he was about to hit me.

cumgranosalum Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I was stationary at a red light in traffic. There were cars stopped in front and behind me. "Road rage"? I told someone to f/off that walked up to my window yelling at me. Not very diplomatic I admit. so you think that wasn't road rage??? No I was politely telling him to go back to his car. (DELETED) "I told someone to f/off that walked up to my window yelling at me" - this is your idea of polite? i really think my your own account you have trouble with anger management and appear to be in denial about the whole thing.

"He claims to have been stationary" do you want to fill me in on what else happened while you are at it.

topt Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Supposedly in 5 years time you will be able to blame the car and save 3 pages of back and forth recriminations........... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/insurance/motorinsurance/11614723/Why-bad-driving-will-be-eliminated-by-2020-and-car-insurance-costs-will-plummet.html And before anybody says it yes I know it will take a lot longer here.

cumgranosalum Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 there is o such thing as an "accident" - this was a minor RTC - no-one has apportioned blame. however no collision is EVER entirely the fault of one person.... blame is "apportioned". it is quite clear from the OP that the he was aware and even interacted with the other driver and vehicle before the collision and had made up his mind on how to react to him......i would say his actions were also inappropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonsalviz Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 In the dictionariesI read: Sationary= stopped= not moving. I have never seen anyone able to swithch lanes while stationary, stoppedor not moving. Do you people have a problem with comprehension of the English language?
