Koh Samui road behavior

That traffic on Koh Samui is dangerous is a well known fact. A couple of days ago a new dimension was added. On various social media and forums, talk popped up about a person who was driving a bike whilst standing on it and steering with his feet.

A few days ago, this video popped up on Facebook by somebody who saw it and drove behind the bike and person in question and had it filmed by his passenger.


This is between Bophud traffic lights and Tesco Lotus.

Latest news is that he was arrested two days ago, apparently the driver of the bike is of Burmese nationality and supposedly he tested positive for drugs and had a gun in possession when brought to the Ban Thai police sub station.

Although it may look funny, in my opinion it shows some of the most irresponsible road behavior imaginable with no respect for other road users safety. What do you think?
