Typical denial of reality by the Thai government! The problem here is the Thai road users! Many of them don't have a driving license or any authorization to drive a vehicle. The tests are a joke: you can learn the theory tests by heart here, and practical tests are limited to a few hours with an instructor! The bottom line: officially there are 50 road deaths every day, but in reality there are almost three times as many! The government actually knows exactly where to apply the levers, but as is often the case in Thailand, they think a few traffic education TV spots can change things! Every foreigner here has better driving training than the locals....Pure laziness!
