Jonmarleesco Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 This has to be a trick question. One look at the video and the answer is plain for all to see - except the moron driving the vehicle, and the police who should be on his case.

SABloke Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 And as always with these videos: the driver pointing out that the other driver is doing something "antarai maak" (he's correct btw) fails to see the irony of tailgating (antarai duai krap) and then changing lanes without indicating (antarai duai iklaaew krap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beowolf2012 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 My lady's former Thai friend when she had to take a Thai driver's license. She would only learn to drive a car with automatic gear, she could not figure out manual gear.There is only one thing to do. And it is that all school cars that teach to learn Thai and others are authorized. All school car teacher working for the police. In addition, all school cars will only have manual gear, so you will learn from the start. In addition, everyone must pass a theoretical test when passed, then a time for a driving test will be agreed upon with this authorized person from the police.If everyone shows respect for each other in traffic, the day would have been saved.To everyone sat a bell hour before normal. Then you do not have to drive too strongly to achieve what you should achieve now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Paul Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 When insurance companies and I also mean the State run compulsory one , start toi refuse to pay out for injuries and deaths caused by stupidity and NOT following the law. Until then no-way ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawker9000 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 In Thailand, "learning one's lesson" in any public context necessarily implies a humble acceptance of responsibility for one's own actions and thereby a loss of face. So just not gonna' happen, certainly not anything to do with driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a change would have to come from the very 'Gods' of education and, like other government departments that we've encountered recently, they will consider it too much trouble or maybe a dangerous case of pampering to common sense. I like the idea of initial Road Safety training being done in schools . . . not sure about the driving, though, unless you mean stuff that could be taught in the classroom. I guess, if teachers and kids all had a copy of The Highway Code, they could have some excellent driving training, there. You're not the Cumbrian OR, by any chance?

Yes stupid is every where, a few years ago a sad story about a man just retired from the US Navy who lay on top of some sheets of plywood to hold them down while his friend drove the car.

selftaopath Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 20 hours ago, 727Sky said: Living and driving in Thailand is one of the biggest frustrations .. Narrow two lane roads where if the shoulder is not cracked and full of deep holes the the jungle is hanging over the road making it a one lane. at the best of times two on coming vehicles of the same make might have 6 inches clearance between the side view mirrors.. This time of year is the pot hole growing season which does not help.. No parking place and in many cases no shoulder to park on so many just stop driving.. That really is a problem on a two lane street and a delivery truck decides to stop and off load. One thing told to me back in 1973 was expect everyone on the road to try to do something seriously stupid to kill you.. It is not quite all that bad except for the occasional idiot that might surprise you when you least expect it.. True, and to make it more dangerous are the slow moving home-made trikes, farm buggies, and the also slow moving motor bikes. The speed posted for both here is 90 kph, but they're lucky if they go 30 kph. The 1 cylinder farm buggies only go a/b 15 kph. I don't even think they are "legal" but lol TIT soooooooooooo everything's legal. "-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet people demonstrate greed for the material things to improve their lives and then show no regard whatsoever for themselves safety or others or others. I can only try to understand this beautiful addictive country. If you ever understand Thailand please let me/us know. The place has confused me over for over a decade.

Airbagwill Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 This racially loaded headline is deeply concerning - it shows how little people understand about the problem. There are idiots like this in EVERY country - it is NOT a Thai thing - there is no propensity in Thailand for stupidity like this - it is the same world wide. so why does it seem to happen her more. well firstly it is confirmation bias - so the real picture is distorted secondly in most other countries the traffic cops and other regulations are enforced in such a way that if somrething like this happens it is immediatley picked up on. Te fault is not just the drivers - how many police did this vehicle pass? Why is there no strict training and enforcement of securing loads In most countries other drivers would have stopped the man straight away. The thing is that road safety is not part of Thai transport culture - yet. The fault here is not the idiots so much as the authorities that persistently permit idiots to behave like this. There are no more idiots in Thailand than in the US or Europe - it is just that in most other countries measures are in place to stop idiots doing what they like ...so don't shrug your shoulders and wave you hands in the air and say "Thais are stupid" - they aren't.

Ahab Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 They will not learn anything as long as the laws go unenforced. If traffic laws were enforced in the UK, or USA, or Germany the same as they are enforced here in Thailand you would see exactly the same types of behavior in those countries. There is no enforcement of basic traffic laws, so why should anyone care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
