A motorcyclist in Thailand was spotted recently, riding his bike along a busy urban road while asleep. Video footage shot by the bemused occupant of another vehicle following showed the rider with his head canted sharply to one side as he rode along the street. Unsurprisingly, this unusual journey ended with the rider colliding with a number of items placed at the roadside.
