Pique Dard Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 drink and drive or drive and drink is seemingly a irresolvable equation. but there are still those willing to challenge it. most of them end up seriously hurt or like in this case pass away.

I wonder if that could have contributed to the victim's disorientation? I think the booze & ganja was enough ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny1990 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Sure he had the ganja for a medical reason that is already solved now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJ Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 "Thai Rath reported that a German man on a 500 cc Honda was killed in a motorcycle smash with a pick-up in downtown Chiang Mai this morning." Where is considered "downtown" - what area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy cow cm Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Not down town area, and anyone in a clear mind would just rent a small scooter if out partying. 500cc is looking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanemax Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Coincidentally enough , I witnessed a similar accident in CM a few weeks ago . A Thai guy came out of 7/11 about 2 AM , got on his motorbike , went to make a U-turn and went straight infront of an on-coming car . Ambulance came and took him to hospital . Seems like that he simply didnt look before making his U-turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanemax Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 ^ He may have thought that the road was a two way road without realising that it was a double lane one way road ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for toxicology tests here. "An autopsy has been ordered at Maharat Chiang Mai Hospital and relatives have been informed". Missed that part, did you?

farang1979 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 "An autopsy has been ordered at Maharat Chiang Mai Hospital and relatives have been informed". Missed that part, did you?No, I didn’t but then if the autopsy shows he *wasn’t* drunk and *wasn’t* intoxicated it’s all a bit late is it not? After all, Col Gen Somchai and the roti seller said he was drunk and had pot on him already.

(FB account necessary) As I wrote in Post #5 if he hadn't been in Thailand very long, perhaps he simply was confused about which way the traffic flows since they drive on the right side of the road in Germany.

Why do you believe he was not under the influence of ganja also. May be he just picked it up from street vendor to enjoy in his room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
