Some people are just ignorant and don't care about anyone else on the road especially emergency vehicles see it all the time , maybe if they where booked by the BIB next time they would move out of the way but TIT .

Some ?

I've never seen anyone enforce a speed limit here. They don't have the will or the technology.

They don't have ?
Drive Chum Pae to Khon Kaen (for example) and you will know that you missed something...
115km/H instead of 90km/H = 500THB

I can't be 100% sure but those drawers look like they contain toys, which is a pretty dumb place to store anything related to young children especially if they know what's there. A chest of drawers should be out of bounds to toddlers,  especially when you choose to leave your kids unattended as this woman did. 

Try to explain to their mom

I'm at a loss trying to understand how a dashcam competition can cause

more accidents, on the contrary, it will encourage people to have more

of them so road accidents will be fully documented and rouge behaviour

can be studied for better traffic management and solutions....

Then watch the first vdo again !

I am not at all convinced that this is remotely a good idea. We have sufficient idiocy on our roads already. Introducing a competition to film and make public gruesome shots of people being injured and killed, makes the whole thing feel like some sort of macabre sport.

...and the "new vdo-sheriffs" will chase the other id***s across red lights as shown in the "winning vdo" ?

I totally agree with the poster who indicated the main problem is that Thais are stressed out.  The traffic is horrid; takes forever to get anywhere.  The cost of living has continued to rise while salaries stagnate.  People who work do not get enough sleep and many have turned to drugs to stay awake.

 

There is no real way to release some of the stress and so many people are really pissed off at the Government; their lives and the hopelessness of it all. It's the same reason Donald Trump was elected President in America, but in Thailand there is no way to blow off the steam except in violent  outbursts when they lose control.

Really ?
I know some guys here who are never stressed out, no traffic jam, pockets full of daddie's money, not interested in any political stuff.
Their favourite hobbies are their big sponsored cars and bikes, drinking and party.
But they lose control very very easy !

Now please explain! What's the excuse for THEM???

Thai are not going to change their driving habits on their own, so the only solution is to install tamper proof speed limiters on all forms of public transportation, i.e. trucks & busses.  Inhibitors that will totally disable the vehicle's engine if anyone tries to disable it, along with a 50,000 baht fine and at least one year in jail for anyone attempting to disable one.  Plus, anyone caught using drugs while operating these vehicles face a mandatory 5 years in prison and 50,000 baht fine.  If the children won't behave on their own, then they have to be forced to.

Keep on dreaming ...

Please learn to count. 

No way you can do 220 km in 45 minutes running at 250 km/h,

and even far worse if you have to stop at 7 stations on the way !

Even if they shoot the passengers on the train that goes with 250km/H all the way, there are still around 30 kms missing ...

"Top of the don't list was molesting women such as by groping breasts. He said that anyone who does could face up to ten years behind bars or a fine of 200,000 baht or both. "

 

For the foreigner who wishes to indulge in the breast stroke, it is better they do it IN some bars than on the street and then find themselves BEHIND bars.

How much fine if the "victim" does NOT feel molested ???

No. They have decreased in both frequency and severity.

Most of the time, a Farang makes a Thai lose face. Loudmouths get away with it in the Anglo West, but it dosn't go unanswered here. On the other hand, Farangs need to be very careful in certain night clubs because the staff can react with little provocation. That being said, I have had 5 loudmouth confrontations  in the last year, 2 in Cambodia, and three in Pattaya - and they were all with rude Farangs.

After your lesson they did behave much better !

but funny thing, the first time you actually know a REAL person who tell you a real story, you hear they are in big trouble for suggesting a bribe to a cop.

 

not saying it doesnt happen but you guys is like a broken record and if you keep spreading this you will get more people in trouble for bribery charges.

After 7 years in Phuket, last year was my final Songkran on Bangla Rd.  Too many out of control drunks, most of them with not a clue about the true essence of Songkran and the gentle celebration that was intended.  The Thais are taught at an early age how to act but the tourists have no idea at all and will never know.  Add alcohol and it's a recipe for aggression and physical/sexual assault.  Unfortunate but so goes the evolution of tourism in Thailand with increased police control, an end to spraying water on the main roads and the gradual decline of a sacred and honoured celebration.

In Chiang Mai it's more like an uncontrolled backpacker-party with huge waterguns and booze and ...
