mogandave Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Chummy, I have been here a long time and the last thing on my mind is the BiB pulling me because my window is down, plus it has never happened...[emoji5]Really? Well why not try driving really fast, running a few red-lights, and smoking a spliff instead of a cigarette with the windows down and see what happens!

natway09 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 After 27 years of safe driving often with my window open I will continue to drive in Thailand the same way. Are you paranoid or just have nothing constructive to do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened to a friend who was then in an awkward position. Decent cars do not use a key anymore... it's called keyless and some have it since 10 years or maybe more...

It might give ideas to a motorbike rider next to you. Oh, and no open windows during Songkran! Nobody should be stupid enough to keep his windows open when stuck in traffic, right ?

I drive all around Pattaya with my windows open, I like the fresh air. On the highway I drive with the driver side window down a inch or so. Whats the big deal are you the window police or something?

I have never had any problems. Maybe the aircon makes you sleepy because you are not opening up for new air to come in the car? Just using the same air over and over? I have seen the thais doing this all the time. Dangerous... In may car manual it is saying NOT to use this function for long. Only when passing a tunnel or a very dusty are like that. Maybe thats why there are so many accidents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the last time I rode from BKK to Loei - 550 km in the back of a pickup truck. It rained for the last hour or so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three men are in the middle of a desert when their car breaks down. For their hike to town, they each decide to take one thing with them. One man takes a jug of water. The second man takes a sandwich. The last man takes one of the car doors. The first man says to the last man: “I’m bringing the water because if I get thirsty, I can take a drink. And it makes sense to bring a sandwich in case we get hungry, but why bring a car door?” The last man replies, “If I get hot, I can just roll down the window.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I have a small, relatively inexpensive car and if I don't have the aircon on recirc, it just can't keep the car cool enough. The only time that I ever used recirc in the UK was when it was really cold, to defrost the car, for a couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimo Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 As I see it, there's only one risk and that is if your arm protrudes further than the wing mirror. Then you are likely to be involved in a minor scrape or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Quote "I don’t understand why foreigners drive around town with their driver’s side window down and their arm hanging out over the door." I wonder if the Op thinks its every foreigner who does this... and perhaps he thinks no Thai's do this... Or perhaps he has just seen one or two foreigners do this and makes the assumption that all foreigners leave their arm hanging out over the door... There is just something very strange about this whole Op: from even thinking about this, to raising the question on a public forum, to asking a generalized question about 'foreigners' as if bundling us all together in the 'arm hanging out the door collective'...
