Too Lazy To Move

Post by kramnala58 »

This was at the corner by my place today. A month ago there were 10's of thousands of protesters at this intersection ... I guess these guys were too lazy to move on once the protest site shut down. The crazy thing is that there is a police booth to control traffic right at this intersection. There were 5 or 6 policemen in it but I guess they also were too lazy to move and confront the guys. I never know what I am going to see when I go out.

Hopefully the next oncoming semi truck driver isn't too lazy to steer!

How long have these bozos been doing this?
Whats the backstory?
Too many scoots..... 12 or so I think .

Use social media to create a flash mob to pick them and their furniture up and move it all to the curb.
It would take all of about 30 seconds.

A fool knows no fear :? :cry:

The other day when I rescued my PCX at the same intersection because I had lent it to a coworker and the battery died due to him using the Idle Stop in traffic, I counted how many bikes went by in 5 minutes and there were about 120 of them ... and it wasn't even very busy. During the morning or evening rush hours there can be 50 or more bikes stopped at a single light ... when it turns green, we're off to the races. Actually, it is not that bad when that happens ... as long as no one makes a sudden eratic move.

Good catch. I didn't even notice that. They are so common here that sometimes (but not often) you don't even notice them.

The guys in the orange vests are motorcycle taxis. And in spite of what the picture indicates, helmets are mandatory.

The photo with the green Honda Wave was taken by me at Soi Nana/Sukhumvit intersection.
I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.

Small world. I posted it as an example of what traffic is like here in BKK. I can't recall what site I found it on.

I uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons media repository that Wikipedia uses. I don't claim any rights. It's supposed to be free for anybody to use as they wish. I also made a short video clip of the same scene at the intersection. I'll try to make it available later on Youtube.

The original upload is here. It was shot in 2006.

Hrrm, and all this time I thought they were to keep the sun out. Never thought about them being to let the nose pickers in. ;)
