I think a committee should be formed to investigate why the fate of Thai road users is far worse than the rest of mankind!

As I said you are incorrect. If you are not prepared to do the research how can you comment?

One has to wonder if you have even bothered to read the document you have cited. I have a while back

 

 

Some highlights from the report;

 

"Half of the countries reported data on road traffic fatalities on the basis of police records only."

"Thailand: f Police data, defined as died at the crash scene"

"In this global survey we used the Smeed Coefficient to adjust all countries' road traffic fatality data to a 30-day definition."

Kieran, stop with the facts. I prefer the personal opinion of some people any day, its good for a laugh. And remember the famous quote, "There but for the grace of god, go I".

Today in Thaivisa it says 61 people are killed on Thai roads each day...that is 61 people who are pronounced dead at the scene of the accident...when are they going to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

No! Like many others you are quoting the wrong statistic. They are no longer based on that system which was used by the RTP

Most of the figures used by posters on TV are a misquotes mish-mash of WHO collated stats.

I just wish people would start to learn a bit about road safety before drawing illogical and inaccurate conclusions from...well nowhere in particular.

So you are saying the figures quoted on TV are based only on deaths at scene? Where did you see that?

If you have any problems with these figures take it up with Thaivisa...that is this news service.
