stanleycoin Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 The bad, dangerous drivers of Thailand. ( thats most ) Know 100% what they are doing on the roads is wrong. They just don't care. why is this ? They kill there friends, there Families even there children. and have no real remorse for what they have done. Thailand is sold as a calm, tranquil peaceful country to the foreigners, what a total lie, that is. angry, aggressive, psycho's is more like it. Buddha would be so proud of them. What a shameful race of people on the roads of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieAus Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I don't accept these comments that the problem is because Thais are stupid stubborn etc as you have people of a similar ilk in all countries To me the issues are relatively simple, lack of training and realistic driving test and importantly lack of enforcement by the police. In Australia it now takes 3 years to obtain your full license which is what my Thai wife did and she is an excellent and safe driver I recall before random breath testing was introduced many people drank and then drove a car heavy police enforcement reduced it dramatically the same with speeding The same with unlicensed and uninsured drivers in Oz you get towed away here they issue a ticket and let you drive away Its not rocket science just the will to carry it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now compare the road traffic death stats. to every other country . Please explain how you think I'm "apologising" for anything Thai? I get the impression you are using a catchphrase you don't understand in place of an actual counter opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say his retirement was cut short when he went air borne along with the sheets of plywood. Agreed - as someone drove in North America, Australia, Europe and UK extensively, I could cite several bad load incidents - I could also cite many that were prevented by the police. As you say Thailand has no monopoly on fools (v. some of the posts on this thread) - the thing is I don't like to cite personal incidents or those "a friend told me" as the plural of anecdote is not data. Race ius not the issue here - there is no Thai propensity to be more or less careful than anywhere alese in the world - in is the whole driving environment that needs to be studied in order to get an accurate and helpful perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that order you will know the both way to drive a car. Then if there are to much traffic start half hour before you want to start then you don´t have to drive to fast. Those thing i write about it´s the way you have to do if you want to have driving license to car in Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenny2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 When will Thai drivers learn their lesson? Never. If teachers of a big high school do not give a toss that all the students are racing around on campus, nothing will change. If the educators aren't educated, "Houston, we have a problem."

Driving on the wrong side of the road pretty common here Only thing i dont like is when they are driving down the wrong side of the road they expect you to give way to them. Car Licenses and degrees are handed out like handing out candy to kids here No skill to get them. 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. Buddhism is just a show. Face... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
