And that stupid motorcyclist was going pretty fast.

I don't think he was going fast. I just think his RAM was full and he had only 1gb of processing speed on a 2.5gb bike.

The vehicle certainly had the green light and the right away but here in Thailand I never enter into any road without ever slowing down and looking because this happens all the time.

Then there seems to be a contributing factor?  Maybe someone can point it out I don't see any signal lights for the motorbike?  Plus he or she was going way too fast! and I mean way too fast!

The police are to blame; as they do not consistently enforce the laws so people drive around doing what they want.

I noticed the bike was also on the left side of the lane, giving a more restricted view into hazards (i.e. cars emerging from the left). If you're going too fast on a bike, you need to be right in the centre of the road prepared for people driving straight out like that...

 

My greatest fear on a bike is probably people coming out from the left side turning towards me - they often drive out faster than they can properly look both ways, paying more attention to the traffic from the left after a cursory glance to the right - and they often don't cross the road before turning right into your face either.

 

He was also riding at a speed that might be ok for a superbike with excellent tyres and disks front and rear, but definitely not for a crappy ass Thai style bike. Riding a smaller bike here you certainly get an instant awareness that it's not being seen that is the issue - it's being significant. People can see a small bike, and mentally just carry on thinking it's ok.

 

Bad style all around - so yes, blame culture, driver training, inconsistencies all around.... just carry on doing what you like.

Thai's - driving on 256kb slow ram whilst loading options for 'approaching hazards'  from floppy disk.
