They learned his name only because he was able to tell them. Note to runners and cyclists: keep a copy of your passport with you when you're out on the road. 

It's called Road ID and has been around for quite sometime:  https://www.roadid.com/

All I read was blah, blah blah!!!

Mull up mate!

Will TIT ever learn, if you want people to get out of their cars and use it, you got keep it worthwhile.

 

Especially as money is getting tighter for the average Thai. 

 

Um...that makes no sense if you know the average person in BKK doesn't have a car. Sure there are a lot of cars but putting up the fee 40 baht is going to make people rush back to alternative transport, hilarious.  I think the increase is a great idea if they need to money to improve and expand the service. 

Seriously, who the f..k would want to live in America.  RIP Sir.

Chonburi records most road accidents in Thailand - Route 7 to Pattaya the worst in the country

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

The chief of Thailand's highways department has revealed data from the Highway Accident Information Management System (HAIMS) for the month of November. 

 

Thaivisa cautions that accidents on the main highways represent only a fraction of the true figure for death, injury and total accidents in all roads in Thailand, accepted as some of the most dangerous in the world. 

 

Thai Rath said in their headline that Chonburi (that contains Pattaya) was the "champion" province and Route 7 that runs from Bangkok to Pattaya was the worst road in the country for accidents.

 

Sorayuth Songsirilai said that in November there had been 1,335 accidents on his highways.

 

Of these there had been 241 deaths and 1,222 injuries involving 2,219 vehicles. The Highways' Department had suffered losses of 12 million baht as a result.

 

Compared to November 2019 accidents were 10% up, deaths 5% down, injuries 9% up and 19% more vehicles had been involved. 

 

Causes of accidents were speeding 69% (927 accidents), cutting in front at close quarters 8% (108), microsleep 6% (74) and defective equipment on vehicles 3% (37).

 

Accidents happened on straight stretches 71% (954 times), bends 11% (144), intersections 6% (78).

 

Vehicles involved in accidents were pick-ups 35% (783 times), cars 28% (621) and motorcycles 16% (366).

 

Worst region was the north with 25% of accidents followed by the North East 17% and the South 16%. 

 

The top three worst provinces for accidents were Chonburi followed by Suphanburi and Bangkok metropolitan area. 

 

The worst road was Route 7 with 51 accidents in November. 

 

Other information for total accidents reported by Thaivisa recently indicates that nearly a million people have been injured on the roads this year. The death at the scene of accidents is likely to exceed 15,000 making it worse than 2019.

 

But the real death toll when all accidents are correlated is well in excess of 20,000 per year a figure that has been admitted in the past by DPM Prawit Wongsuwan. 

 

Accident activists regularly put the figure between 24,000 and 26,000 per annum.

FAKE NEWS AGAIN HERE!!! I just got back from the Ritz Carlton Krabi and the last time I looked in the mirror I was a white Australian.  If they are taking about Resorts offering quarantine then that is a different matter.  Where do they get these clowns from???

"While the business leader said that the pandemic's effect on tourism had not been as bad as first feared" Where does this idiot live?  Obviously he hasn't left his Bangkok Housing Estate and travelled... Seriously this Government needs to clean out these clowns or gag them...

"Schwarzenegger had said that he was initially unaware he had been kicked and thought he had “just [been] jostled by the crowd”. - Still got it!!!  Maybe the kid that kicked him should move to Australia and throw eggs at Politicians. (aussie joke)

Wait, what...there’s 50 Firefighters in Thailand?

Maybe she wants asylum in Saudi...never know.

Well I'm here in Samui and the storm by the look of it is heading South. Sure there is some wind and rain but nothing as bad as it was 3 weeks ago over a few days then...so far.  I'm using this app: https://www.windy.com/?8.827,101.430,9

There are way more guns in the hands of complete morons here than just about anywhere. Short fuses, no self-control and BS 'saving face' receipt for disaster. RIP the Family.

And people standing around watching what?  Seriously, they make a side show out of everything.  Very sad.
