"Use technology don't let technology use you." I contend it's still true to this day.

A by-line of mine from my own website (of many years ago) where I used to give IT advice and some lessons.

My earliest computer toy was a Sinclair ZX81 (early 1980s I think) and I didn't have a clue how to work it properly. It was just "wow" technology to me.

Enjoyed your posting. ?

Most of us know the matters that need to be addressed to reduce this terrible (but seemingly 'acceptable' to Thai people) road trauma - but Thai "authorities" do not read this forum thus we are wasting our breath. Sad to say but they will continue on as before - killing each other on the road. ?

Pronouncements come and go but nothing ever changes. TIT

KEEP YOURSELF AND FAMILY SAFE.

Here is the easy answer (already practiced by some "holier than thou" person):

All motorcylists to use footpath only and then there will be no crashes between them and other road users. Also help to alleviate the traffic problem?

And I am NOT a committee. Too easy

Uighurs wobble, but they don't fall down.

They will if the really try to challenge China. Let the dragon sleep and then they may not "fall down".

They need a committee to know they need to enforce current laws? Surely this is a joke?

'Tis the name of a new comedy movie, I am sure. ?

A lot of trouble coming in Thailand if this legislation is not revoked immediately. 

The only thing that is "revoked" in the Kingdom is the right of people to govern themselves, plus free speech, plus a decent education ad infinitum ad nauseam...........

Looks like asphalt used to repair the steps. In the heat it softens.

So, it wasn't a twitching sphincter after all? ?

and most were dummies or not working !?!?

Nearly correct - I would have reworded that and said that the dummies (not cameras) are now not working. ?

Don't you just love all the positive thinkers we are so fortunate to have in our midst.....how they manage to survive from day to day while seeing so much gloom and doom concerning everything Thai,.around them.....never ceases to amaze me.

Expressing a desire for improvement is doom and gloom?  Were you a supporter of the 2014 military coup (and all the lies told to the Thai people and the world ever since)? ? 

Challenging and challenging the status quo is what drives us forward to, hopefully, improvement.

The big problem with all he has said is that as long as you leave the police to run (or not run) the

traffic in our fair city any improvement will need him to step on a few of the BIB 's shoes,

something he has been loath to do

Well he could order the Deputy National Police Chief (you know, the over zealous idiot who was demanding 'proof of lawful' use of certain equipment during the cave rescue) to put his enthusiasm into the BKK traffic problem? ?

Or is my simple expectation, unreasonable?

Sigh.............................

Thailand needs people with clear minds ( and clear conscience )

Not going to happen anytime soon, unfortunately. 

So "public affection" is a bigger problem than road deaths? Sheesh, talk about twisted thinking!

The "control freaks" are on the loose!

Loss of bark is only good for soi dog - not worry about tree.

wait until there truly is a cashless society...

I'm not sure that this hack has anything to do with skimming cards, like they are mentioning.

A "conspiracy theorist" may say the banks are using this to cover up for funds "disappearing" from accounts and we do not/cannot or not allowed to tell why??  ? 

Just an alternative view.
