This is the moment a tailgating motorcyclist in Thailand rode just inches behind a truck.

Video shows the biker almost grazing the license plate of the larger vehicle while travelling in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, Thailand, on May 12.

Thailand has one of the world's worst road safety records. Ministers have set the goal of reducing fatalities from 32.7 deaths per 100,000 people to 12 per 100,000 people by the year 2027.

However, a lack of road safety education in schools along with notoriously easy driving tests, police failures to enforce road laws, and chronic under-investment in infrastructure, all hamper the efforts.
