HAT YAI: -- A video of a motorcyclist who appears to be asleep as he weaves dangerously across the road has been shared widely online.

The video, reportedly filmed in Hat Yai, shows the unnamed man with his head slumped to the side as he drives towards oncoming traffic.

The motorist in the car behind the motorbike, who filmed the incident, beeps his horn to try and get the motorcyclist’s attention -- but to no avail.

Sorry , but shouldn't be riding a motorbike.I bet he doesn't have a licence.

"Be OK" - Thailand's national motto to each and every plan.

"I'm susceptible to seizures and want to ride a motorbike on the world's deadliest roads. What should I do to make sure I am not a danger to myself and others? Oh never mind, BE OK."

Followed by the above video.

For a good insight into the Thai national mindset when it comes to safety for oneself and others and how Thai's learn from mistakes, I present this;

For a seizure the person had great control over the motorbike for a long time.

That was a bit weird, to say the least.

It may have been a diabetic episode. With the increase in poor diets and fatties around, it's a possibility.

I'm sure the TVF medical team will get the facts on this swervy driver.

Having a seizure when solo on a motorcycle and flying an airplane is scary even thinking about it.

Read the article before bunging in wild guesses.

He suffers from epilepsy.

In most countries he would be banned from the roads for at least six months.

Probably he is a liability on the roads in Hat Yai today.

In a lot of countries an epileptic would not be permitted to drive ...ever.
