What manner of copy pasta is this? Are we really doing this now? Embracing the "Safe System" - A Turning Point for Thailand's Road Safety The Kingdom of Thailand, renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality, unfortunately, also holds a less prestigious title: it is consistently ranked among the nations with the highest road traffic fatality rates in the world. The Thai government has made commendable efforts to address this issue, but more needs to be done, and urgently. One promising approach is the adoption of the "Safe System," a comprehensive, internationally recognized framework for road safety. The Safe System approach shifts the perspective on road safety. Instead of placing the onus solely on road users to avoid errors, the Safe System acknowledges that humans make mistakes and focuses on creating an environment where these errors do not lead to serious injuries or fatalities. Key components include safe roads and roadsides, safe speeds, safe vehicles, and safe road use, all underpinned by effective post-crash care. Thailand's current road safety strategies, while critical, are largely reactive, focused on enforcing traffic laws and improving post-crash response. While these measures are valuable, they are not enough. An over-reliance on law enforcement and post-crash care can be akin to treating the symptoms and not the disease. The Safe System, on the other hand, is a proactive approach, aiming to prevent accidents from occurring in the first place. Adopting the Safe System in Thailand could yield significant benefits. For example, managing speed, a key principle of the Safe System, could dramatically reduce the severity of crashes. Given that speed has been identified as a major contributing factor to road fatalities in Thailand, initiatives to establish and enforce appropriate speed limits, combined with infrastructure designed to manage speed, could save countless lives. Moreover, the Safe System emphasizes the importance of vehicle safety standards. Thailand, a hub of automobile production, has the opportunity to lead by example, implementing and enforcing higher safety standards for vehicles produced and sold domestically. This could not only protect Thai road users but also elevate the safety of vehicles exported from Thailand. To effectively implement the Safe System, the Thai government will need to foster a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach, involving stakeholders from various sectors, such as transportation, health, education, and law enforcement. Furthermore, success will require not only policy changes but also cultural shifts, encouraging all road users to view road safety as a shared responsibility. While the implementation of the Safe System will undoubtedly present challenges, the potential benefits far outweigh the costs. Thailand has the opportunity to drastically reduce the number of lives lost on its roads each year and provide a safer environment for all road users. Moreover, the adoption of the Safe System could serve as a powerful example to other countries grappling with similar issues, showcasing that a proactive, comprehensive approach to road safety can indeed save lives. Road safety is not a luxury; it is a fundamental right. Every life lost on the road is one too many. As we move forward, let us not accept these losses as inevitable, but rather, let's strive for a Thailand where every journey on the road is a safe one. The Safe System provides a pathway to that future. It's high time we take that path.

sounds like a dream compared to the cash i send to get my kid in the US clothes for the fall-winter term.

Ah 1998, i had been in Thailand for just under 2 years. The baht had taken a poop and my leftover USD was worth a small fortune in baht. It would be another 2 years until I got picked up a software dev company that got bought out by Microsoft.

but trans uses norton. we all know they make a quality product.

what the absolute fok? i once took care of a sombodys kitten and it didnt die. I think that is because i gave it food. does that make me a veterinarian?

Can you not read through the steady stream of drool? Updating drivers is good practice, but you dont need bloatware to do it,

I do update my drivers, but its hardly rocket science, is it? Listen to you, me old mucker! i have a lifetime in software and tech and you are telling me how you keep your hamster wheel powered desktop running tickety boo using bloody Norton. how sweet.

Redmi 10 here, cheap as chips great phone 2 years on. I was a huawei fan before they lost app store access, and Xiaomi/Redmi has filled that void, i just wish they made a 8 inch high end tablet.

Laos, Savannakhet. unfortunately it is also the most limited in terms of entertainment.

I would agree especially when the reccomendation is random third-party optimzation tools from questionable download sites, while windows provides the same funtionality natively

french fries will probably kill you faster. That or almost anything on a shelf in 7/11.

dude is so full of <deleted> his eyes are brown.

why? an SSD conversion is guaranteed to improve persfmance by several orders of magnitude. Farting around with drivers and deleting junk files is likely to result in almost zero tangible improvement. That siad are there people out there still running a computer using an HDD?

they only caveat there is a smell so toxic or strong it pretty much obliterates the dogs ability to smell anything for a while. But then that is something that would stand out on its own.

All they had to do was hide it somewhre else and it would never have been found <deleted>.

do what lou, do what?

civil not criminal case, so no.

unless you are using the thai calendar

meh, missed him by a mile

innit.

thats a whole lot o vitiriol and specifics for someone "done with it." you even managed to fit virtue signalling and moral indignation in there. Imagine, adultrey! well done old chap!

one wonders what was missing that changed his outlook, if only breifly.

upgrading my router from the crap the ISPs provide changed everything. The internet in Thailand is phenomenal for the price second only to places like korea, I have peole form north america visit and they are stunned. The people i know from my time in the philipines weep

i had a few issues until i moved the google minis (living room, kitchen and my bedroom in a 2 story house) onto the the 5ghz and left the 2ghz to smart devices. I used to run a long cable, but wifi has gotten so fast its not really necessary.

If you want to get really specific, my phones, tablets, android tv box, music server pc and any other personal devices high-data use all connect through 5Ghz. Google home controller devices are also on the 5ghz. The IOT and smart home applications (around 30 devices -- lights, ac, fans, tv and amplifier power switching etc) run on 2ghz
