  1. Mistaking the pedals does not explain why she drove from the other side of the road at speed, maybe she mistook the steering wheel for the brake pedal, right hand hard down, instead of right foot hard down, seem she don't know her elbow from her @rse.
  2. About the worst thing you could do. Who ever taught you that ? Change down to 1st and use power to steer out of it.
  3. The problem is those that have not told the UK government they are living here, probably wouldn't want to sign a petition for fear of being exposed.
  4. Just bcoz I feel and am safer in a car, does not make me an "anti-biker'' , I rode M/C here for 10yrs +. Riding a M/C in the rainy season ain't no fun no more. I also have an E-bike for local village shopping, new i paid 8k for. similar to this but don't expect them to go up steep inclines. no licence req. I have fitted bicycle mirrors and lights for extra safety.
  5. If you 'flog' the guts out of it, it will be you paying for new 'guts' to be put in.
  6. My Big C does not mark on the floor, but Tesco do. I just buy the biggest ones, always room for more rubbish from smaller bins in the house then.
  7. Never heard of showing them a yellow book, never shown mine, it's not mandatory to have one so why would they be interested ? Why is that sad ?
  8. Had a dog years ago, when no one had fences or gates, came home happily with a baby's bottle in his mouth, drinking out of the teat, head held high. ????
  9. Happened one time to me driving a works van, one hydraulic hose failed, loosing all brake fluid going down a hill, but i managed to control it, shifting down and using the hand brake.
  10. The RTP and there checkpoints have NEVER worked to stop the carnage and it just gets worse every year, yet they continue to use them, repeating the same mistake year after year, instead of actually patrolling the roads. Insanity !
  11. Good memories from by-gone years, one cop had his face dabbed all-over with powder, he lent over a drum of water to wash it off, my misses came up behind him and pushed his face into the water. ???? our village used to have Songkran a week or so after as most worked in resorts, started around 5pm road closed off, went on till the wee hours, water trucks spraying the whole crowd, music blasting out everybody dancing and happy, that was before 2014, that happiness has sadly never returned to the people.
  12. I asked The 'Bank of Ayudhya' and they sent me a detailed e-mail, that basically went like this ; Wife takes death certificate to the family court, after probate (can take 3+ months) take their letter of probate, death certificate, bank book along to bank. I guess copy of your passport also. My missus has told me you can register a Thai will at the local Amphur for 50 baht. I also asked the ANZ bank in OZ their reply ; See a lawyer. ????
  13. Sadly Correct Training in Thailand never seems to happen as with their Driving ( i almost said skills), Police, Teachers, Etc Etc, but they still hand out Licences, aggression seems all they know.
  14. Land in Thailand is not measured in acres it is measured in Ria 1 ria=1600sq meters.
  15. So this was known, but no one told anybody, there seems to be a lot of these M/C taxi guys carrying guns and using them, time to clamp down !
  16. The "Transport Ministry'' should do spend time doing something about changing the stupid driving test , not on this.
