As in every country, a motorcycle has to be extra vigilant. This is no different from what the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation sponsored by the AMA) taught us in every single class in the US. Does it really matter if the motorcyclist was not at fault?? He is quite dead RIP. Anyone on a motorbike of any size in any country has to use extra caution, because cars always seem to appear in front of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surasak Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Its the same all over the country and seen every hour of every day, 4 wheels dont give a toss about anything on 2 wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Drivers of cars and pickups pull out in front of scooters with impunity. They just don't care. The bike has to give way (if possible) or suffer the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to conclude that even though the car driver pulled out , the motorcycle was driving on the wrong side of the road, probably racing past another vehicle which had slowed down to let the driver turn right to the far side of the road from the market.

Rhys Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Sadly poor motorcycling behavior at the universities will be next, especially at the residential type, the AHs are riding about no helmets, disobeying rules of the road and generally being hell on wheels. Those will be the next head line reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob9 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Sad - but the last comments are probably right. Young men here seem to have no fear or death on bikes - probably very useful when putting together an Army to fight the invaders from Burma, but not so good/useful now in 21st century. Yesterday, in the pouring rain, one of them went around me in the right lane of a highway at nearly 100kms as I was doing 80kms and changing lanes - I just saw him in time to give him room and to not kill him (no llights). And there he went, flying past - one hand on the throttle (flat out), ho helmet, no shoes, no jacket, and the other hand trying to 'clear away' the rain from his eyes - unbelievable except for the fact that stuff like that happens all the time. The Thai wife laughed. I sighed - this is another world. Edited September 22, 2016 by Bob9 spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf99 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 If anyone is questioning who is to blame here.....they have never spent more than a few minutes on Theprasit road. Go there any time of the day and watch these clowns drive at excessive speeds, lane hopping and weaving around in a built up area and vehicles that just pull out into moving traffic without stopping. And the major killer on that road is people doing U turns....holy crap Batman...... They do not have the reasoning powers to turn down a side Soi, do a 3 point turn and come back to the junction and safely try to turn.... And as for a helmet......none of them here meet any sort of safety standard. They are upturned Polystyrene pudding bowls that are useless in a crash in excess of 30 mph or 50 km an hour. Remember this... you travel at 50km and the oncoming vehicle is doing 60km its a 110 km crash for you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
