    In 2014 alone there were almost 17k of road accidents where people fled the scene...in the UK. 

    Numbers are increasing every year. 

    Imagine that..good old britain whwre everyone is honest etc etc. 

    Opens ones eyes somewhat to the fact that it is npt phenomenon peculiar to thailand regardless of how unpalatable that is to some.

     

     

    Pathetic comparison. The Thai apologists had to chime in on this thread and try to justify the usual "driver fled the scene. Sad.

     i don't know what it is with you guys, you seem to hate everything about Thailand yet choose to live here.

    "I dont know what it is with you", or the other thin skinned apologists, as YOU seem to think one bad thing means "hate everything about Thailand. Who said they hate everything about Thailand, and who said they live here ?  Only YOU. Wise up

    In Europe they have addressed this problem over the last 40 years or so.

     

    You can't change human behaviour or reduce the number of stupids.....they just made it difficult for the stupids to do what STILL comes naturally.

     

    Companies that want/force drivers to drive overlong hours are put outside the law.

    Speeding, drugs and hours are all regulated.

    At the heart of the regulation of commercial drivers has been the tachograph and commercial licencing systems.  This together with a Euro-wide net work of expertly run testing stations have curbed the excesses of a cut-throat transport industry.

     

    Thailand does nothing more than a nod and a wink to this.....thinking that blaming the drivers is the answer.

     

    In Europe the drivers are still the same, they just can't be so stupid anymore.

     

    As this process is a long one, it requires a consistent approach and as it involves reforms of law, police, road design tc etc it costs...... Thailand loses 5% of GDP to road casualties but they still refuse to address the problem in a scientific, rationalised and consistent manner.

    Wow, so dont even  think of blaming the stupid Thai drivers.
