DaRoadrunner Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I have been here so long that this looks normal to me. Both drivers were asleep, brain in neutral..... Yeah normal - (for Thailand). Happens all the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I think perhaps the car driver did what they did deliberately. I know I have felt the urge to 'teach bad drivers a lesson'.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack61 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 5 hours ago, robblok said: Good point actually about the reaction time. All of us watching the video were waiting for something to happen. So we were ready for it. For the car driver it was something unexpected. I am not sure how fast I would have responded. But I am sure I would have responded faster if i knew something would happen like now when playing the clip then when it would happen for real. However he did not break at all did nothing, can't totally say he is without fault but obviously its mainly the motorbike driver. If I were to merge traffic on my bike like that i always check. Its just stupid not to check. So most of the blame is on the motorbike driver. 99.999% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn to ride safely, or carry spare underwear? A no-brainer for a young Thai female. But if it was a young Thai male his brains would be in his underwear.

Daft question I guess - this is Thailand, BLDM - Bikers Lives Don't Matter. Why ? if one is in the "right" don't move/take evasive action. That's the Thai way , not the right way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThLT Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 You can skip the first 55 seconds of the 1:20 video. ???? The accident part lasts 15 seconds. (Maybe would be good to add this in the OP.) If 1000 TVF members watch this video, that's over 16 hours of people just sitting there and waiting... ???? Thanks video editor. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokesaat Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 From what I can see in the video it seems clear the girl was trying to take a shortcut to her far left.........something I would not have anticipated had I been the driver in that car. I see this sort of thing all the time in Thailand and occasionally in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hey 2 women drivers met in the road way. No hair pulling, no punches, and no fight. Other than read end damage, looks like a pretty tame accident to me. Sarcasm. Was the contents of the bag in preparation for this incident. Glad no one was seriously injured.

I do believe that the Thai car driver's view of motorcycles is that the car should never slow or divert their path for a bike, as car drivers are more important than bike riders. Anyone who rides in Thailand will have noticed this phenomenon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
