nkped Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 --The larger vehicle has the right of way. --Flashing headlights is the signal for "I'm taking the lane"--applies both approaching and overtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamock Chokaprret Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 One more learned from experience last night: xx. When the light turns green, roads with 2 or more lanes in each direction become one way in the direction of the green light. Feel free to use the oncoming lane to make your right turn.

buddha Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 The really funny part of this thread is that it isn't funny at all, just thoroughly accurate and witnessed by all everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 xxx. If you are not sure what lane to drive in, just drive in all of them! xxxx. Lights at night are optional...try to keep them off so they won't burn out!! xxxxx. If you see the lane that you want to merge into is blocked, be sure to get into that blocked lane so you can hold up traffic to get out of the blocked lane!!!!

Mekong Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 13. If there is a collision involving a Farang, the Farang is at fault. If the Farang hadn't been here, the accident wouldn't have happened. Flash, Until last Tuesday I would have agreed with that comment 100%, but now I have experienced the opposite. At a set of traffic lights I was in the middle lane going straight ahead and a motorcyle in the Left hand lane decided he wanted to make a right turn and tried to drive through me, 1 1/2 tonnes of Toyota SUV v 150 KG of a 125 cc motorcycle it is obvious who came of worse. The motorcyclist bounced of the side of me and went down the road doing an impression of a low flying superman, and this happened right in front of a policeman who was directing traffic at the junction. I pulled up at the side of the road, checked for damage, there was none he only hit me with his knee and elbow and only scraped some dirt off the car, then I walked over to the striken motorcyclist and the policeman expecting the worse. Now my Thai is far from fluent, but I got the jist of the bollocking the policeman was administering to the motorcyclist, as I got to them I asked is everything OK, the policeman asked me was my car damaged I replied NO, he said No Problem you can go. My Flabber was Gasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expat Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I agree. Every time I have been in an accident where the other party was at fault in Thailand, I have not had to pay anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
