  1. I wear a helmet not only for my cranium protection but also use a visor to protect my eyes from dirt, dust, and bugs. Also my visor is tinted in order for those bright sunshine days. How many times have you seen a driver using one hand on the scooter while the other is being used as a visor to block the sunshine?
  2. Also to add, how many times do you see someone wearing a helmet but it's not strapped on?
  3. That cop apparently didn't get the memo or have the 2 years of training required to identify a helmet-less person on a scooter.
  4. Is this similar to the campaign to crack down on phone usage while driving.....or driving in the wrong direction?
  5. If you are like me and are not satisfied with the service received by the SSA at the Manila Embassy then blast some tweets at the Ambassador. I also put a tweet or two at the embassy when response to my emails are slow:
  6. I treat these political posts just like I do the taxation posts....... (and pretty much the majority of the posts lately here on AN): IGNORE!!!!!!!
  7. I pay a recurring 257 THB a month for my AIS service. Hardly a life-changing cost....
  8. Most Thai drivers neglect the right of way to pedestrians and emergency vehicles.
  9. ".......driving without a licence." Now that's a real shocker!
  10. My apologies.... while the lights are not suspended by wires they are indeed suspended and placed in the middle of the intersections or just entering the intersections by a large extended pole. Such as in this pic where this question evolved. Who has the right of way here, me in my truck (with the dashcam) about to turn left, or the oncoming white truck which is about to turn right? NOTE: Both light directions were solid green, no arrows.
  11. You should get out more often.
  12. Duhhhh... do you know how to use Google Street View?
  13. Thanks for all the useless stupid answers. Seeing some replies makes me understand that it's not the Thais that have problems following the road rules but foreigners as well. Some of you need to get out of your little shell sometime and get around, there's many intersections in Thailand that have a traffic light hanging right in the middle of the intersection and many do not use green arrows.
  14. Not the same scenario I described..... "The light is green in both directions," No stopping prior to the intersection. So, what does the good Thai law state then?
  15. Nice BS useless answer...... thx for wasting time posting it. BTW, traffic is already flowing. "I'm asking in regards to Thailand rules/law." Not opinions.....
