  1. I had my right front tire blown in 2010 due to a piece of metal that was on the autobahn at night. The blow took a quarter of the rim with it. I was only doing 220 - 230 km/h on the German autobahn.

     

    You never ever brake or shift to another gear when a tire blows. Use the clutch and just let the car roll out. If I would have used the brakes or shifted down, I wouldn't be here to tell you al this. I am an experienced driver with years in the Renault Cup, Porsche Cup, Quote Challenge and Dakar.

     

    In the vdo on page 2 you can clearly see the tire is blown between seconds 5 and 6. Between second 7 and 8 the van swerves, probably the driver hit the brakes.

    Hmmm, I flew a LH Airbus BKK-FRA-BKK back in Nov. I am not sure what the news is here. During peak season there are normally 2 flights a day, one using a 777-200er and the other a A380. It's been like this for years.

    Same as my son in June/July and one of my friends in November/December. They were on the A-380 to BKK and returned to FRA with the A-380.

    They asked the public to report overstaying foreigners, those working without work permits and those working in 39 jobs that are reserved for Thais only.

     

    39 jobs reserved for Thais only ???
    It was 28 jobs on July 1st. So foreigners aren't allowed doing 11 things that Thai must do?
    Please explain !!!

     

    The article about the jobs reserved for Thais only: https://www.nationthailand.com/national/30348366

    “Importantly, in anticipation of road accidents, the government will enforce traffic laws strictly

     

    They must have asked a fortune teller and the crystal ball. Anticipation in Thailand ???
    A few weeks ago some Thai riding a Triumph 950 cc told me to get a bigger muffler on my bike so that would be safer. People would hear me coming. My answer was: "I don't think Somchai in his pickup will give a f*¢k if he hears me coming. It's all about anticipation." 

     

    Antiseewhat ? he asked. I told him: "Looking further than the smartphone in front of you and predict what could happen in a situation."

     

    Thai don't need antiseewhat. We have Bhudda for that, he replied.

    How many people do you see wearing masks (a small percentage)? How many people do you see wearing actually effective masks (not ineffective medical/surgical masks)?

    The masks that filter the PM 2.5 are only effective for the first hour !!! They are saturated after about 1 hour depending on the air pollution.

    How many people do you see with a fresh and working filter?

    And how many do you see with an old, already worn for a year or so ???
