Zebra crossings are only effective on the African plains where you’ll actually find zebras.

Thailand needs to install, enforce right of way & protect highly effective, flashing lights pedestrian crosswalks!

Plain & <deleted> simple as that!

better to have subways.....underground walkways for pedestrians....

which other country would have a zebra crossing on a dual carriageway???

Where vehicles travel at high speeds??

Your right they are deadly here in Thailand. That video shows how wrong it can go. Absolutely shocking. As a car driver here I don't always know what to do. If you stop for a Zebra crossing people behind you honk the horn and on the sides they still pass you.

 

I feel that in Thailand all things should be regulated by traffic lights (not that they are always obeyed) 

 

Though in the Netherlands had my bad experience too. I was used to Hoorn (smaller town) that cars always stopped for them (you could enter them without looking a lot). Then I went to study in Amsterdam and foolishly thought it was the same. I was lucky my friends pulled me back or I would have been hit by a car. In Amsterdam they don't always mean that much (at least back when I studied there). But of course they meant a lot more then in Thailand. 

GO to the UK and see how zebra crossings work......there are very few ...possibly NO deaths when people use them....WE ARE EDUCATED IN WHO HAS THE RIGHT ON SUCH !!

I thought 15 year olds could only legally ride a scooter 110cc or under so unless i am wrong probably best to one that falls into this category?

how do you think and when are the COPS are going to stop and check to see what age the driver is and what cc the motorbike is??? They most probably do not know the cc a young person can drive !!!

It is a natural rock formation, the shrine is by the walkway. 

thais do not know this!!

HOW PATHETIC THIS IS......a world wide sport being stopped Thailand had a team in the world team championship in 2017 will they have one this year??

in civilised countries......UK .... australia ....new zealand ....hong kong....macau...singapore and i suppose malaysia ALL DRIVERS give way to pedestrians who are on the zebra crossings......BUT NOT HERE....as they are NOT told/taught what the crossings are for.....!!

Many vendors have been selling in sets for weeks now.

And charging more than the 80 baht....I DO NOT BUY a set I like to buy single tickets.

So whats new with the GLO starting this on 21 March when people are selling sets already???

It is a complete rip off

If it was a National Park i would not have problem paying a small 20 baht fee but as it is not why should anyone be expected to pay for the Councils problems in not doing the necessary upkeep on the island , tourists are already spending money there and this should be enough as long as people don't slip it into their pockets .

WHAT COUNCIL !!!!???

I turned up a to do the test and found I had neglected to bring one document. The lady who assisted me was very helpful so next day when I turned up with the correct paperwork I took her a box of chocolates. When all of that days applicants were called in to the examination room she called out to the examiner that I was her friend. I was called aside and given my licence with no test - oral or driving.

SO YOU SHOULD not BE ON THE ROAD.....!!!

hanging cd discs is a good method of keeping them at bay.....

are thais taught what to do when a tyre bursts (which is very rare) when they do driving test??
ANSWER IS I BIG NO !!!

In the absence of signage or flashing lights and assuming proper turn signals were used, I'd say car "B" is at fault.

agree CAR B in my opinion for cutting across the road into which it is entering 

I said on here, sometime ago that in 47 years of driving and driving different vehicles I HAVE  NEVER HAD BRAKES FAIL.....must be many on here who have NEVER had THEIR brakes FAIL.

ARE drives of these vehicles TAUGHT what to do id the brakes actually DID FAIL....I doubt it very much !!!

Oh dear, oh dear,  such a generalisation.  Is this directed at all TV posters?  If it is I find that your attitude is extreme to say the least.

 

I will continue to enjoy my fags and have a drink with my many friends of all nationalities.  Thankfully I will never be in a position to meet someone like you.

 

BTW - what dollars are you talking about?  Singaporean, Aussie or US?  Sorry to anyone whose currency is the dollar and I have missed it out.

could be hong kong dollars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
