So that's why they are often out collecting tea money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is beyond being selfish or dangerous. Yep. And when driving on the wrong side of the road towards you they even flash their lights to tell you to make way for them! Totally selfish, self centered and entitled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well, if I still had my 1997 Buick, which I only just got rid of, that driver might have run into a very stubborn part of my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi49jr Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) It's just business as usual in Thailand, you see people pulling the craziest stunts to pass the car in front of them, even if that car is the last one in a line of about 10,000. Makes absolutely no sense, but they do it all the time and don't seem to care one iota what the result of their crazy and stupid stunts could be. I had the same thing happen to me on a narrow two lane road: I was going one way on my motorbike, and towards me came a car which was suddenly being overtaken by another car, which fortunately managed to miss me by about one-tenth of a millimeter. It's no wonder about 100 people a day die in Thai traffic, so many people just don't give a damn about traffic rules, road safety or whatever, it's all just ME FIRST!!!

Should be enough attention to this video by now to make that happen. Seems the only way to get someone to change over here is by loss of face. It would have to be an awful lot of pressure. To get the police involved in any activity that does not end with a payout is a very difficult task, as it defies the very nature of the "franchise".

berrec Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yep, you can't put brains in statues; from my experience of many Thai drives in general, impatient, ignorant, irresponsible and arrogant. Absolutely no concept of the consequences or their deplorable and thoughtless driving actions. Entering the Thai road network...........Goodbye.... Good luck......

connda Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) I had this happen to me this week. Due to a car parked on the road, an oncoming pickup pulled into the middle of my lane. It's suicidal. It was dive for the shoulder or die. If I had not, it would have been a head-on collision. I've stopped trying to even fathom what the hell is going through the minds of most Thai drivers. Based on their driving inclinations, its eventually a windshield. Personally, I don't give a rip about them - but I do care about those lives they end due to there idiocy. And at the end of the day, it's all on the Thai govenment for not doing a thing about the carnage other than setting up more roadblocks (shake-downs) and issuing mewling lip service that means nothing.
