soalbundy Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Did the iphone survive ? I've seen so many, mostly women, glued to their iphones when crossing the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish monger Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The body of the girl is back in Russia, motor bike driver charged, do we honestly believe anything will come of this one....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitnessHealthTravel Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Nothing will come of this and the rider will go on living thinking he has 'fast tracked' someone to be 'reincarnated' into something better. Whatever makes you sleep better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, blame the victim. More likely that the bike rider was on their iPhone and drunk as well. I can make dumb comments too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make dumb comments too! both scenarios are possible, i cant see how one could be hit by a motorbike on a long straight road if you are paying attention to your surroundings.

Would be possible if e.g. motorbike was overtaking a tuktuk that had stopped to unload some passengers. Or she used a zebra crossing (there are few on that road) and presumed the bike would stop.

mcfish Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I see it on beach Rd Pattaya all the time as well, bike pops out behind tuk Tuk with riders head down low to minimize drag and throttle twisted to the maximum.. It's so sudden that if it happens you just got to not move in case you both go in the wrong direction.

soc Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Coming from Russia, where they drive on the other side of the road, its possible that she was looking the wrong way for oncoming traffic. Just a thought, Poor woman, too young to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is to read the FULL article- "The driver, identified as Somsak Nom-Muang, 41, was charged with reckless driving causing death, Col Weerayut said.
