Motoring in Thailand and Asia Cars and motorbikes in Thailand and Asia, Where to buy and sell your truck? Where to get fixed and what garage to use. Should I buy a suzuki carry? Will it have a car DVD? Will my travel insurance cover me for driving in Thailand? Or should I just buy a Mercedes or a Honda CRV? Everything to do with motoring and vehicles goes in this section. Do I really need a driving licence in Thailand to drive to Bangkok car hire?

Why on earth do they act like this (Thai motocy riders) Rant

I think we all agree that there are a load of prats on the road, but the couple I saw tonight win first prize!

We are all familiar with the nutters on souped up little bikes that do a Valentino Rossi impression at every opportunity but , as they all have custom exhausts you can hear them coming and get out of the way .

I have just got in from a run to the shops and was cruising along - no hurry, on my Airblade. I
In front of me was a Honda Jazz also pootling along at about 40 km/hr.
The Jazz slowed down to about 25 km /hr. No real problem.
The reason it slowed was that there were a couple of bikes blocking the road riding about 6 ft apart with the drivers and pillion passengers having an animated conversation.
The Jazz driver gave a gentle 'beep' but there was no reaction .
A slightly longer 'beep' also had no reaction.
When a gap in the oncoming traffic appeared the Jazz accellerated and passed the bikes with a longer 'angry beep'.

The bikes immediatly chased the Jazz to the next traffic lights when the pillion passengers got off and started to kick shit out of the Jazz doors and then drove off through the red lights !!!!

WTF!!!

Is this normal in the LOS ??

Any one seen similar ??

Rant over - just that I was amazed that nobody on the pavement even bothered to look !
