Is that a metaphor for "underaged, not having a bike license"?

Since the registration number of the bike is known, the missing id of the teenager should not really be a problem, methinks.

Sounds like underage unlicensed motorcycle rider, no mention of a crash helmet so guessing like most other young people on motorbikes in Thailand he didn't have one. I would also guess that his parents were fully aware that he drove motorcycles and were happy for convenience to let him. Sad at a young death but in a land where road rules are ONLY enforced in order to boost police wealth it is inevitable that these things will happen.
