They can’t even spell democracy.

Thanks for that insight. Very interesting. Can we assume then that these subsequent tests have now been witnessed by the Thai government, as deliveries are set to resume?

Good to see you back Trans.

My wife ordered one of these in March. Originally scheduled for delivery this week, Toyota have now said that it will be delivered in two weeks’ time, so it looks as though the problem may have been sorted.

‘Official’ results due around two months later.

Changes were made for the initial crash tests, so that the cars would pass. They reverted to standard materials/design following the test. Therefore all the cars currently on the road do not have the crash test materials/design fitted.

So, what’s all the fuss about? If, as he says, the vehicles already on the road are safe, then surely so are any subsequently manufactured vehicles, so no need to stop sales. However, if they are proven to be unsafe, hence the reason for stopping sales, then those currently on the road are also unsafe.

Maybe they think we all look the same! ????????

…..by his eyelids.

I tend to agree. The problem with leaving it to the police though is that they know how it will end; with the taxi rider being charged for damage to the car, or something equally as idiotic. Hence this trend of vigilante justice we see here. Just my opinion.

Fair point about the numbers. I did misread that. But the airlines have already said they can’t differentiate as to who’s who, so the fee being added to the ticket price is a non-starter. Plus, many tourists don’t need a tourist visa per se so paying for it during the visa application won’t work either. You’re right that immigration are in the best position to decide who’s a tourist and who isn’t, and that brings us back to the point that if the fee ends up being collected by them then mayhem at borders will ensue.

The queues at immigration are already long enough without people having to pay to enter the country.

That should teach him.

Hmm. After all the passengers, cars and crew alighted the ferry would’ve been higher in the water. Even allowing for a receding tide it’s unlikely for ‘something solid’ to be in the vicinity of a ferry terminal that has been used for years without a previous incident. My guess (having seen this type of thing before) is that the ballast/fuel was shifted to one side by the swell (or it was incorrectly balanced) causing it to list.

I concur. It has deteriorated. A few years back you might see the odd motorcycle going through a red light, now it’s many of them. And, as you say, road rage is on the up, as is aggression. A sad state of affairs.

He had the wrong amulet.

Surely an empty oil drum will offer little to no protection from the tree.

So, if you’re speeding, texting, phoning, drunk, or otherwise incapacitated and you lose control of your vehicle you’ll miss the tree because there’s an oil drum next to it? ???? Idiocy.

Yes, I think it is. You’re free to go on your way for the first three, I think, then a year ban, or a load of money more likely. Happy to be corrected.

Every. Bloody. Year. Same. Same.

Precisely. Basically what they’re saying is, “It’s fine if three people die.”

Total morons.

How do they expect to find anything when they’ve already been told by the boss that there’s no prostitution in Pattaya?
