webfact Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Incredible footage shows the moment speeding car narrowly misses motorcyclists in Thailand video screenshot Extremely scary CCTV footage from a Thai crossroads in the middle of the night showed the moment a motorcycle with two men on it almost became the latest casualty on the Thai roads. Thai Rath reported that a car driver managed to brake and swerve and maintain control. The footage showed the car spinning doing a 180 before coming safely to rest some way down the road. The motorcycle didn't even fall. Some 170,000 people reacted to the footage that was shared 14,000 times. Thai Rath said it was noteworthy - apart from the frightening proximity to death - that none of the participants fled the scene, as is common in Thailand. They noted that netizens were impressed that all concerned had a civil chat in which apologies were exchanged. Indeed, the footage that was shared featured the tagline: "I nearly died - I'm sorry". Though it was not clear who was apologizing or if they all said their sorries and went home....still thankfully alive.

It felt like I watched that particular video 1,000 times already. They obviously edit it to keep reshowing it for the hard-of-learning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 Dumb as a house brick, pulling out in front of an oncoming car. Not sure the car was speeding, it wasn’t going slow... Its very fortunate for the both motorcyclist and pillion that the driver of the car was not drunk. A good reaction boy the car driver saved serious injury to the motorcyclists neither of whom were wearing a helmet. The stopping distances are about 23m for a car going 50kmh - The car stopped about 20m after the bike. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldie Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Always the same. Two on a motorbike without a helmet because there is nothing to protect. If I see motorbike drivers driving like crazy it is mostly the same picture - no helmet and no problem because there is no brain anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Same same every day, usually 3 or 4 up, going the wrong way, without lights yada yada yada. Nothing new, nothing changes, never will as long as they fail to enforce the law and there are no real consequences. How high is the monthly death road toll again ?....exactly ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped driving after 6pm because I would almost kill so many with no lights on, then suddenly appearing out of nowhere, and I was even told by a farang the reason they don't ride with lights on at night is because they don't want spirits to follow them home. He got me on that one ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunderhill Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Never mind , after our near miss let's all stand in the middle of the side road to discuss it, what could possibly go wrong. On a side note is Thai Visa now employing the Immigration website designers to produce their website, it's working almost just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did, but what I meant was one didn't just drive away as normal, or get off to kill the other driver. Nice to see they had a pleasant chat and no violence, perhaps because they both realised that it was such a narrow escape, the car seemed to be speeding and the bike thinking it was alone in the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
