Is there a need for the cops/ paramedics/government workers to point at the bodies? What does that mean anyway?

And why did the driver run when it was the motorbike cyclist who was at fault?

Strange how the cops in Thailand are always laughing when they point to the dead body of a victim.

Anyone who operates a motor vehicle on the wrong side of the street needs to be removed from the gene pool.
