First of all, it is against the law to ride a motorcycle without a helmet so the person is already doing something illegal.

It also depends on other factors. Example is a foreigner involved, does any of them have a licence.

If both motorists agree to pay for damages and hospital bills, and also pay the police for their time then the problem can be rectified quickly.
hahaha pay the police officer? i thought they were on the governments payroll? anyway i would pay the guy on the moped or bike a few hundred and get it over with.

The police officer is on the government's payroll, but they don't earn much money so they try to get anything they can from motorists.

You are not required to pay them on the spot, but most people choose that path to get it over with.

If you don't pay them, they'll ask you to go to the police station and there's paperwork, interviews and things like that to be done, so it's a hassle.

Where I'm from this is called extortion/corruption.

By the way, asking you 'to go to the police station and there's paperwork, interviews and things like that to be done, so it's a hassle' is just standard procedure.

But hey, if you can buy your way out it, why not. Grin

Well, the police where you are from, earn hundreds of dollars per week and they are in good stead.

The police in Laos earn less than $100 in a month, so any extra cash they can get on the streets means a lot to them.

Sounds like you support this type of dodgy dealing. Is your old man a cop?

Is that how your kin acquired their riches?

I don't support it, but it's considered normal in this part of the world.

My old man is not a cop, and I'm not rich either.

Maybe Lao government should pay them more. That's why in the U.S they pay government worker, police well so they'll do their best and not corrupt. It's human nature if you don't make enough to feed your family you'll find another way, illegal or legal.

Police in America make $40,000-$60,000 a year or more. I'm estimating.
Shocked

That's the problem with one party politicals system "corruption." Nobody can challenge the authority or has freedom of speech to speak up. So corruption go on and on.
