joepattaya1961 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 THAT's what I call: "Jumping a red light!!" If the English language would have had the phrase: "Crawling a red light" this would have never happened. Guess who is at fault here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukeleto Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) With most people pulling off before the robot has even turned green its a very risky manoeuvre running a red light in Thailand as this driver has now discovered first hand! Although I somehow doubt it will actually sink in and he/she will learn a lesson. Edited July 6, 2017 by Dukeleto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think people are slow to move off here and the reason is people jump the red light , sometimes by several seconds, by following the car infront and refusing to look eleswhere. This driver needs to be banned from driving for life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This driver needs to be banned from driving for life! That's my experience too, the lights change and people wait a couple of seconds then move forward cautiously. That way you don't get t-boned by 60 tons of sugar cane driven by somebody who hasn't slept for 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicowoodduck Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I think I heard the sound of a car horn which if it is actually a Thai driver would indicate he was in fact running the red light....makes perfect sense....they do it all the time here in Pattaya.....honking the horn gives you the right of way and right to run red lights as you wish.....lol...??

PeCeDe Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Why even try coming up with excuses. it wasn't his fault he was drunk and saw nothing, not even the road. Lucky no one was killed. I quit driving a motorcycle two months ago because of maniacs like him, which is a shame because it's by far the best way to see Thailand (if you survive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
