Ramanathan.P Posted April 7, 2023 #297815 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Many Thais have the tendency of getting things done in the easy way even though it is dangerous, especially along the highway and one way street. They will just go against the moving traffic along the edges and suddenly cut through the lane to continue their path, thinking they have the "right of way to go". I have personally encountered this many times while riding along the highway in the motorcycle lane. Hence I always make a point to switch on all the flash lights when there is any vehicle moving in a suspicious way against the traffic. Mostly such vehicles would be 4 wheelers and they don't bother to pay attention on the oncoming motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted April 7, 2023 #297822 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I love the "up to 1,000 baht" fine. Surely that acts as a deterrent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble-eye Posted April 7, 2023 #297857 Share Posted April 7, 2023 She wasn't even the most skilled reverser in the world, a lot of the time she was in the inside lane unable to keep the car on the hard shoulder, what a 100% dunderhead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In effect, this was a head on collision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In several jurisdictions, a collision in reverse gears also puts automatically the reversing car at fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
