    Hello!?!?!?!

     

    In a country with 70.000.000 there are just over 100 daily dead who are registrered positive... Did they die of covid, or did they die with covid??  Seriously this scaremongering has got to stop!!!

    I am just amazed that nobody properly questions this as this is clearly used as a tool to control the people and country there!!!

    they do want to question it but are being censored

    If discounting motorcycles....  and counting vehicles with 4 wheels or more, I would believe that 70% of the accidents involve pick-ups for a number of reasons (which people may or may not like or agree with).... 

    - More pickups outside of the city

    - Pickups less stable at cruising speed

    - More cars in the city - slower speeds = less cars in accidents

    - More pickups outside of the city = more pickups going faster, more accidents

    - Darker roads outside of the city = more pickups in night time accidents

    - More educated people in cities than countryside = more poorly educated people in pickups

    - Further to drive to bars etc in country = more people drink driving for further distances in pickups

     

    Like it or not... the ‘assumption’ (because thats all it really is) - is that there are more pickups driving faster in the countryside by people who are less educated than those driving cars in the city, by people who have further to drive, roads are darker at night, they drive further while drunk etc  and they are driving cars which are inherently less stable than cars at speed and on wet roads.

     

    Some, all or a combination of individual facets of the above may lend to the theory that more pickups are involved in accidents than in cars. 

     

    -------

     

    When driving a car & riding a motorcycle, only in the day time, carefully, never speeding, never drunk, never jumping lights or overtaking dangerously etc... vastly reduces (but never removes) our risk of being involved in an accident compared to what the national road stats may suggest. 

     

    My Wife has had quite a few accidents in the past...  And far fewer since we have been married. 

    She now doesn’t use her phone while driving, doesn’t drive while drunk - its incredible the difference those two things have made to her ‘accident stats’ (from something in the region of an accident per year, to none in 10 years !).

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I call it the small penis syndrome..........100% spot on

    Wife was dropped off last night after a songkran party in the village........the back of the truck had seven or eight teenagers in it, all well oiled,......and I imagine the driver was probably in no fit state ........they just don't care/don't think.

     

     

    Without knowing the exact cause, it seems that it was again a lack of responsibility.

    What? Costly affair???? Really? I assume you are living in Thailand or planning on living here, as you want to compare renting or buying. However, if you consider buying a scooter a costly affair, then I would say that you will have a hard time to afford living in Thailand.

    Nope. living in Thailand for 6 years now and doing fine.
