Bangkok train hits motorcyclist (video)
A bizarre video of an accident in Bangkok. Ignoring a level crossing secured with barriers is not only dangerous, but also very stupid.
This is shown again in this video where you can see how a Thai boy on a motorbike is hit by a train. The incident occurred in Bangkok on Monday. A security camera captured the impatient motorcyclist passing a number of cars and crossing the level crossing without looking. At that moment, a train rushes by and fills up the motorcyclist.
On the images it seems as if the train just continues to drive as if nothing has happened. Motorists also seem to drive carelessly when the barriers open again. The victim is said to be a 16-year-old boy. He did not survive the collision.
Train in Bangkok scoops motorcyclist
Watch the video here:

“On the images it looks like the train just keeps going as if nothing happened.”
Because trains are known to be able to stop in 10 meters?! Hello?
10 meters?
Please open a physics book.
And then the biology book. There is such a thing as reaction speed, IF the driver has seen it at all.
Not even a single motorist gets out of his car, apparently a daily ritual in this country.
@ Richard Since the motorcyclist is out of the picture in the video after the collision, the conclusion cannot be drawn that not a single car has stopped.
I myself once witnessed an accident in which a motorcyclist was hit by a car. Other road users stopped to help the motorcyclist. The conclusion 'apparently a daily ritual' seems premature to me and is certainly not based on facts.
At the end of this video there is indeed a green-white van that stops.
Richard, death in traffic is indeed a daily ritual in Thailand.
In the years that I have lived in Thailand I have seen accidents happen a dozen times due to sheer stupidity.
Most road users in Thailand have no idea what they are doing, nor do they have any need to realize that.
The why they don't help?
Why would they is none of their business, and imagine you start thinking.
Incidentally, an average train traveling at a speed of 80 km/h really has a braking distance of about 500 meters, or more
You see that young moped driver looking to the right, and a fragment of a moment to the left. But then it's already too late. It is clear how even a young person, only 16 years old, defies life and fate. There is no fear of death: if bhudha and the day itself favor you, you will come home in the evening. How simple and simple in attitude towards life, so without a sense of responsibility, but that is Thailand in its entirety.
When will they finally learn to install double barriers that close the entire width of the road??? I've seen it several times in Bangkok that a whole horde of motorcyclists just slalom between the half barriers, even when the train passes a few seconds later. Those half barriers are life-threatening, as it turns out once again.
Not such a good idea.
In Thailand they have a lot of slow moving traffic jams. On this level crossing, entire barriers could block traffic on the level crossing.
Half barriers ensure that cars can leave the level crossing safely.
Technically it is very well possible to close the 2nd half barrier when the traffic has left the level crossing so that the cars cannot get stuck on the tracks.
The meaning of 1: flashing red light, 2: sound signals, and 3: lowered half barriers is: stop!
That is true for our home country, but here in Thailand people just keep driving, red light and signals or not, Thais don't care about that. Cars also continue to drive until the barriers actually close.
I live on Koh Lanta and have often experienced that if an accident happens (often scooters) the
Thai doesn't want or can't or afraid to get involved So often it's farang (incl. me) who are so good
try to help until the ambulance arrives
Of course, this has nothing to do with the situation on the video People don't have it
seen or don't want to see it
In Krabi you can come and drive a car in a circle, then you will be asked what the stripes are
mean on the street and you answer with not allowed to park
CONGRATULATIONS you got your driver's license
If that doesn't work, 1000 Baht is fine too
I drive a lot of cars in Thailand myself, but I don't always feel comfortable
I didn't even see the street with the car, the usual test in the exam hall was enough to get my Thai driver's license and that was in Bangkok!!!
