    The RTP don't have a properly trained road incident unit. 

    To understand the road safety problems in tHailand each incident needs to scientifically analysed - this occurs in countries with the lowest crash injury and death rates.

    A crash report form is an essential starting point

    Key variables typically collected include:

     

    ·      crash location (including geographic coordinates);

    ·      time of day, day of week, month of year, year;

    ·      information on those who were involved (including road user type, age, gender, injury sustained);

    ·      details regarding the road (whether at an intersection, speed limit, curvature, traffic control, markings);

    ·      details on the environment (light conditions, weather, road markings/surface, wet or dry);

    ·      information regarding what happened in the crash (vehicle movement types, objects struck (including off-road), and contributory factors such as speed, alcohol use or driver distraction);

    ·      vehicle factors (type of vehicles involved).

     

    Te figures in Thailand have remained pretty constant for the last 3 decades, which isn't surprising s they haven't even taken the first steps in real road safety.

    That's what I expressed in shorter words. Thanks

    They have little to do with a motorcycle club. They are organized crime. Arrest them! 

    There are gangs with the same name in Western Europe as well.

    But democracies are very reluctant with arrests. That is why they could join even with right wing Nazis.  

    The evil on 2 wheels.????

    This is the lassie mistake foreigners make - the truth is tat priority is by default on the left - unfortunately it can be overruled by a "competent" police officer or by a designated road - foreigners for some reason think they know what te designated road is - mostly they are wrong.

     

    it is the idea of "Principe roadway" that foreigners get so wrong.

     

    If you've driven in France back in the 1960s and 1970s you will have witnessed the converse and how this works - and seen the havoc that poor signage created. However it still exists, mainly in towns but more importantly and the same in Thailand it is deeply ingrained in the national psyche - particularly in older drivers.

    It never existed in the UK which is why UK drivers are particularly vulnerable to this.

    You want to say that French were maniacs on the road during the 60s and 70s? I would agree to extend it up the 80s.

    However, I've been to Paris last year with my motorhome and was stunned. Perfect followers of rules. No honking anymore. The most surprising event was biking through Paris. Cycle tracks almost everywhere. Very safe. No troubles anymore.????

    Have you actually read it? It is most definitely about Thailand, comparing Thailand now with the UK of the 50's and 60's. How the UK changed poor safety habits of the type that currently exist in Thailand using TV public service adverts (PSA's). We rarely see such PSA's in the UK because the message got through. In fact the last round of PSA's was to instruct us to imprison ourselves and keep away from friends because of COVID.

    You can't compare UK with Thai society.

    I don't mind you having a go at me for my content, opinions or writing. But these personal comments about my private life, my health and also ageist comments earlier in your post are unwarranted and, frankly, rather childish.

     

    You need to give ME a break or. as a recently made moderator, I will be giving you one.

     

    A long one.

     

    Final warning.

    It's not my Intention to offend you.

    However, it's truth that old People reflect on their lives.

    And it's fact that taking ganja got an impact on brain activity.

    Also it's fact that long Covid accompanied with weakness and fatigue can slow down any activities.

    In my post there are no statements about you. Never did.

    However question marks are offending?

    Freedom of speech is essential, especially in serious journalism combined with critics.

    Of course, as a moderator now you got all rights to stop unwanted posts.

    Happy Sunday
