Zebra crossing drama: Pickup truck hits student outside school - video
Well, near my daughters school all laws cease to exist. The following are ignored at will, and the police and school couldn't care less. Not to mention in the pedestrian crossing laws listed below, they are not only parked right up against, or inside (blocking) the pedestrian crossing, but illegally double parked, so you can't even see people trying to cross. I lost count of how many motorcycles have passed me over the SOLID yellow center line while stopped for pedestrians crossing in a Zebra crossing, so dangerous it boggles the mind what these imbeciles are doing. In my home state in the USA, they would be under arrest!

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
I don't think any of us Farang's have done ourselves any favors by moving to one of the most polluted places on Earth either.

Appears to be another assassination attempt on Trump's life
We have loonies on both the far-right and the far-left, it's starting to turn into a circus. The worst part is that the far-left and the far-right have both become completely radical and dangerous, best to avoid them both at all costs.

Appears to be another assassination attempt on Trump's life
Two sniper attempts, both using what would be considered trash weapons, a 2nd rate AR15 copy and an AK47. It's like they are using the weapons themselves to make a point, but they are not even remotely sniper weapons, more like the choice of someone who plays too many video games and thinks he's some type of rockstar. But this is all getting out of control, they need to seriously beef up the security for the last 2 months of the election period, or someone could end up starting a new Civil War.

Motorcyclist Injured in Fall From Rama IV Bridge in Nonthaburi
There are CCTV cameras all over the top of that bridge, you can actually see two of them right above her, they should have better views of what happen. Not sure why she is in the fast lane (3rd) on that bridge though, unless she was hit in the slow lane, but they don't show what led up to the crash.

Collision Involving Three Pick Ups Claims One Life, Injures Another in Nonthaburi
Worst still, nothing will change, driving like insolent little children is a Thai right. Don't worry though, the RTP is there to scrape up the remains after the fact, just don't expect them to enforce any laws or road rules.

Digital wallet to the rescue: PM bets on cashing in for Thailand’s economy
There is no way the Digital Wallet will show any net positive results, except maybe vote buying for PT. In fact, I am quite positive it will do more damage than good to the country.

Umm, we know who is going to draft a new constitution, it most certainly won't be her.......Daddy is working on it diligently though, I wonder if he will make himself Emperor of Thailand.

Latest carmaker to scale back its EV ambitions amid slowing sales
I see so many MG's around here, it would be hard to believe they will RIP.

Latest carmaker to scale back its EV ambitions amid slowing sales
The Battery and electric motors would be my biggest issue with a competitor to a mainstream automaker, but I will keep them on my list for when I finally choose one, but I still want to see lighter weight, and faster charging batteries first. But until adaption is over 50%, I don't think I will be buying one anyway.

Latest carmaker to scale back its EV ambitions amid slowing sales
I've always used the left foot brake lightly to turn the light on, while accelerating away. My form of a safe brake check to wake tailgaters up, though if I see someone coming up fast behind me, I usually just move over. Not interested in playing a road-raging game.

Yup, they seem to be hellbent on scaring away foreign investment, and these types of xenophobic proposals aren't going to go down well with foreigners looking to move here.

Pickup Spins Out of Control After Being Honked at by Motorcycle, Crashes in Drainage Ditch
I've noticed when Thai's see a dangerous issue unfolding in front of them, that they accelerate in the hopes that their Amulets will save them. Like I tell my wife, the worst thing you can do when a dangerous issue arises while driving, is to add speed to the equation.
