saigonsunset Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Luckily the headline indicates that this is actual footage from yet another ordinary day on Thai roads. If one wouldn't know one might think this is a scene from a Holywood Roadmovie .... just crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docshock13 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Though nothing to do with the accident, those bikes are a nuisance and real hazard to themselves and other motorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalblue Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 She seemed to be going the same speed as the cyclists but trying to do it in the slow lane... another driver in her own world w/o considerations to road conditions or rules of the road... she played the risk so let her suffer the consequences...her luck ran out...so be it another video for training purposes...

whatawonderfulday Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Undertaking is illegal in Thailand so was she aware ? Was she wearing a seatbelt and had she passed her driving test legally. These questions never appear to be answered in most traffic accidents highlighted. So if the answer is no to any one of those questions then all I would say is "what goes round comes round" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonmoon Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) 21 years old and just got her license for a few months. Blames it on working overnight and the bikers that were zooming passed her which caused her to fall asleep at the wheel and sped up on the left lane to crash into the heavy truck. The bikers were the ones who stopped and help her. Edited March 28, 2017 by Moonmoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyNets Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The problem is that most "learn" to ride motorbikes first, then when they get a car seam to drive it the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Dangerous driving by the Yaris led to the accident. Another thread will be derailed by smart Alecs trying to pin the accident on the cars not in the left lane. And yes, that group of "big bikers" is riding in a dangerous and inconsiderate manner.

In many countries it is illegal though, but TIT. Edited March 28, 2017 by hugocnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well would you dare to tell that to those big bike drivers?? If those slow cars kept left the bikers could use the fast lane..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileydude Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Looked more like a motorcycle race with the Yaris acting like the lead safety car without the safety element Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing doesn't mean the person can drive. Also, looking ahead to see if her road was clear would not have occurred to her, I suppose.

kcpattaya Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Typical Thai style driving: Passing cars on the left...Zig Zag... Obviously we can't see what happened - but I am not surprised when this motorbike hurdle caused the accident. This same group ever passed me on Pattaya motorway and they are absolute IDIOTS!

These questions never appear to be answered in most traffic accidents highlighted. So if the answer is no to any one of those questions then all I would say is "what goes round comes round"Undertaking isn't illegal in Thailand, on this type of road at least, but I think it bloody well should be !! The people treat it like they can drive at any speed in any lane !! Hence all the zigzagging, we all see it every day. Undertaking isn't illegal in the US and yet people have the common sense to make it work. Yet, here ...... well as we all see....disrespect for other road users ending in carnage !! I hope the young lady recovers and takes some driving lessons before getting behind the wheel again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
