Many drivers dosen't have any sense of physics or anything else on the road. So many times I almost had accident while driving my car in the same intersection while people drive red lights. Once big bus drive through the red light and I ended up to hospital, back then I drove motorbike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 And the carnage continues. Has anyone ever seen a car, truck or two-wheeler, pulled over for a moving traffic violation? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) So who is at fault? The one turning right or the one going straight? There is no traffic light to assess from the video. I've seen many Thai going through the junction just when the lights turn yellow. Edited September 27, 2020 by EricTh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might assume that was a right turn arrow and the Fortuner ran a red. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not see anything on the crossing, he seems to make no attempt at avoiding anything, he even comes full circle and has another go at the motorcycle, just for good measure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one turning across the path of the one going straight on is in the wrong unless there were lights giving the pick up a green.

That also happens in many Western countries as well as going through red lights. Many people on TVF make negative comments about Thais and their behaviours, customs, culture, etc., but fail to remove the rose-tinted glasses they wear concerning such events even in their home country. Many of those making the comments have not been back to their home country for a long time and live in a slightly delusional atmosphere but they know that all things there are MUCH better than Thailand and their comments purport to show how things should be done because that is how they are done "back home" even if they are not.
