Can a foreigner drive a Saleng in Thailand with a motorcycle license?

@Jay ******

I live in an area were plenty of folks have them. 3 to 5 years old's just hanging off the cart. Just watching it makes me nervous.

And they are not in good shape. Most look like they are ready to collapse while driving and some sound like it too

@Jo *********

Yeah but this question is about insuring a Thai vehicle in Thailand, not foreign insurance

@Brandon ***********

the wording of the question is not efficient or clear. Yes you helped clarify- so thank you

@John *******

@Jay ******

I drive a Saleng, and have driven the second kind long distance, and unless you are an experienced sidecar driver, I really suggest you test drive the Saleng kind before you buy one. They are very hard work to drive and get harder the more weight you have in the sidecar, NEVER let go with both hands. If you have a heavy load in the sidecar make sure the centre of gravity is far enough forward to keep the front wheel on the ground, if the front gets light it will slide to the left, if the front wheel lifts and you are accelerating, you will immediately turn a very sharp left! When you brake it will want to turn right, when you accelerate it will want to turn left. That said, they are great fun once you get the hang of them.

The second kind (two wheel at the back) are a piece of cake to drive and have none of the issues above.

@Andy *******

don’t disagree with you!

@Brian *******

correct and if you have an accident with them forget about any claim from them you have to cover yourself. They will initially try to get you to cover them but if you ask for there registration paper they will back off and the police will support you

@Brian *******

That’s the crux of the matter, if you have extra insurance, that you take out, rather than just the compulsory insurance, which you get when you tax the motorcycle. I am not sure what that says. It’s something I would check.

@St***

Both my bikes are new so I have class 1 insurance, not just the government minimum. And it is on the policy that attachments are not permitted

@Carrie *****

usually your insurance will state motorcycle to a specific cc like 125 cc something like that. This is usually not followed by some people as they want to ride bigger bikes and insurance won't cover them when the police make a report

@Jay ******

I am talking about the insurance company that you insure with that's the issue if you have an accident . Thai motorbike licence is not relevant to this as it is any motorcycle there is no cc restrictions.

@Jay ******

your obviously confused. There is a difference between insurance cc and Thai licence. I know what l said you read it again. The post was questioning if they would be insured. The slaing if it has its registration covered correctly then it is roadworthy. This doesn't mean their insurance covers it in an accident for full comprehensive cover
