lovelomsak Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Are you talking about the motorcycle with the sidecar. Driving like that is common thai practice. Nothing out of the ordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechbum Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Are you talking about the motorcycle with the sidecar. Driving like that is common thai practice. Nothing out of the ordinary. Yes it is common practice here but that doesnt detract from the fact that its a <deleted> stupid thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Motorbikes and sidecar 'sheds' are all banned from the underpass as the MASSIVE signboards say in Thai, English and picture form on the entrances to them... Another typical Thai with absolutely no regard to Road safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Are you talking about the motorcycle with the sidecar. Driving like that is common thai practice. Nothing out of the ordinary. Yes, on the side of the road. It is not common practice in a lane with oncoming traffic, especially not with limited visibility like is the case here.

NickJ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I see those set-ups , sidecars driving at night in the country with no lights on all rhe time. More often than not its an old geezer . They must get mowed over on a regular basis. I honestly believe that they think they are saving gas by not having any lights on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The idiot on the bike is not visible to me either in the initial photos shown in the first post. It's only when the pics are enlarged/expanded that it be comes clear what the thread is about. Perhaps your photo program is not compatible on Thaivisa for all viewers.

Valentine Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 What I see quite often are cars on Chalermpraliat Rd driving towards the underpass on the right hand lane thinking they can do a U turn just before the entrance/exit. When they find they cannot they rapidly shift across to the left so they do not have to go through the underpass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case it was far less dangerous, but the OP mentioned "drive into headcoming traffic" and "That could of been one nasty accident if the truck hadnt seen him and stopped. ".

Argus Tuft Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 That lane was blocked, it had a red cross on both ends I went through a few time yesterday. Only one lane each way yesterday for all the times I went through it, they were definitly doing work inside at least when I saw it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 As it happens I was going North just a short time before you posted, I would guess I went through about 13.00 yesterday and the left lane was closed with a big red X and the middle lane was open with a big green tick. I've never seen that before, but I saw that there were a couple of trucks parked in the left lane doing some sort of roof maintenance. So ... I would say that the motocycle trolley was part of that team driving down the closed lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraday Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Was thinking about getting a bike with a sidecar, got some nice ones on Mae Luan Road. Gf's not keen though...dunno why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Tuft Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thank you thought I might have been hallucinating. But I have seen the lane closed few times in the past week and always only 2 lanes open those times, yesterday they were working on that lane. and the trolly motocy thing was back & forth with the worker. OP is making exciting story to fit the photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Mango Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I guess may of been the case , he was in our lane when we started going down into the underpass and just quickly moved straight across to the right lane. I got the phone out and took the photos and was busy looking at them to post as we continued down. I saw the truck out the corner of my eye as we entered the tunnel and assumed it had stopped because he saw the bike. My bad if what you guys are saying is correct.
