  1. This vdo shows a woman who is able to control her bike quite well.
    For sure helmets are missing, that's right.
    But i can't agree that bcoz of driving like her many people die on Thailand's roads.
    I guess the dangerous weapons here are called Pickup truck, truck, mini-van, bus...
    Handled by "drivers" without any feeling of responsibility for other road users who are not really able to control their king size cars.
    If you did ever travel around Thailand on a big bike, you will know what I am talking about...

    How about the banks doing a check every morning to see if there has been any tampering of their ATMs has occurred overnight and then shutting those which have been tampered with down and reviewing cctv on those machines to give to the police to flow up. Simple procedure no?

     

    leaving it up to the public who have no idea what an installed card skimmer device looks like is simply passing their duties off on the consumer. Their machines...their responsibility and that includes any losses incurred by the person using them! End of discussion!

    PLEASE REMEMBER WHERE WE LIVE...

    I can see a big hole in this system, a points system against your license requires "having a license". In reality you would be better off having no license and paying the odd 400 baht fine.

     

    Burn through your points as quick as you can, then drop back to the cheaper, trouble free, no license option.

     

    Not only will police start to offer the "pay now" option, the public will demand the Pay now option.

    Check point time tables: helmet 9am to 10am, license 3pm to 4pm, red lights 1pm to 2pm when most offenders are at work ?

    This town's full of these old expat's who were probably quite normal before they came to Thailand, suddenly something snaps, they start drinking around the clock, drink driving, whoring, driving a variety of vehicle, bikes, trikes, tuk tuks, quads, all without a helmet, or big pick up trucks. Just stay out of their way, many end up killing themselves in smashes which is sad, but not as tragic as when an innocent party gets in the way.

    ...and their ex neighbours in the home country are happy that this blokes moved away.

    Thais seem to love doing things backwards.

    They have set the journey prices already so we can reasonably expect that tickets for the HS trains have already been printed and will go on sale when the new terminal opens. That will avoid the rush when the HS trains start operating around 2050.

    WHEN or IF start operating ?

    I saw it on TV this morning.  No one cut off that idiot. He was trying to turn left on a very small intersection not suitable for  any  heavy commercial vehicles expecially trailers.   The shipping container simply rolled off to the right and pancaked the poor guy in the Toyota stationary in the left lane.

    Absolute madness.

    Never drive in Thailand.

    So the intersection is responsible, never the driver !
