Popular Post bluesofa Posted February 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 (from the link above) "Lt Apidet said that police had yet to confirm whether or not Mr Frischer was drunk at the time of the accident, and had yet to determine whether any charges would be pressed." I'm sure after he recovers and his trousers are washed to remove the stains, they will need to be pressed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalong hospital is associated with Vachira. It's likely the patient or family requested transfer to BHP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see that is an 'offset junction whereby the separated medians are not in alignment. The rider was approaching in the right turn/U-turrn lane. He should have been in the lane to the left. That said, at times of low traffic it's an accident waiting to happen. TIT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by 'again' you mean the pickup running over motorbikes in Hua Hin, that incident's posted video was deliberately slowed. I don't know why but it obviously was. Judging by how high the otherwise flightless Herr Frischer bird managed to fly, I reckon this incident was high speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that mbike pull out intersection in front of him might have distracted him. Mind you it seems he was too going fast for the right turn.

If someone pulling out in front of you distracts you to the point of forgetting to make a turn, you really shouldn't be driving in Thailand. You certainly shouldn't be going at a speed which would cause grief if you did try to make the turn. My initial thoughts were that Mr E was startled by the bike coming at him at great speed and swerved over to get out of his way. I don't always consider the alien to be the innocent party in all accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks that way, it happens all the time especially turning left, Ive just come to that junction I need to turn left and there was about 20 bikes to my right just waiting to jump the lights, and always have to watch people coming up the inside of me to go straight as I want to turn left, it's <deleted> nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The more often I watch the video sequence the more clueless it leaves me. Complete blackout, distraction, intoxicated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
