Sometimes people get what they deserve.Undaunted wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 10:55 am A Thai resident who witnessed the accident told law enforcement officials that he saw the Kuwaiti men racing in a group with his friends around 3.40 a.m. The injured man then tried to overtake a freight tricycle but lost his balance and crashed into a pickup truck, resulting in his hospitalization.
Assuming the 4 friends were also engaged in any illegal activity, such as riding bikes with no helmets or racing, they ought to be kept in the cells until they do cooperate.
It's what sometimes is referred to as "instant karma". GOOD! I'm sorry the guy was injured, but he did it to himself. If he had simply been obeying common sense rules like he was supposed to, it would not have happened. Sorry, but I won't be shedding tears or sending flowers.
Focusing on those that do the renting out of the bikes is key, simply they should be forced to see and make a copy of a valid motorcycle international driver’s license and along with a copy of the renters passport to be kept on hand and available for inspection to the authorities adding failure to do so will result in the permanent confiscation of any motorbike that is rented out and is unable to produce a said license.Gaybutton wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 6:49 pmThese people will never stop unless law enforcement truly cracks down and stops not only them, but also penalizes the businesses that rent to these guys, knowing damned well what they are going to do. If they want to rent bikes, fine - let it be the kind they have to pedal. And even then I wouldn't surprised if they still ride like idiots.
I agree. And I think there should be very strong penalties for motorbike rental shops that don't comply - such as confiscating all their motorbikes, shutting them down for 6 months, and heavy fines - if not paid the motorbikes get sold.
They mostly sleep during the day and are out and about from evening till the wee hours of the morning…..if you drive by the hotels that they frequent during the day their rented bikes are scattered outside, none less than 20 at a time.
I think most of us are probably familiar with "There's never one around when you need them."a question of where the law enforcement officials were when they were needed.
