I agree esp it we are trying to educate speeding teenagers however if the photos are too gruesome they won't make it into the mass media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teenagers are invincible which extends into Thai adult life, therefore the pictures will have zero effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai drivers are rarely known to apply emergency brakes at all. They tend to swerve either right or left without braking at all . Seems to be hardcoded into their brains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to publish photos of the bodies, either. They're people, not a spectacle. If they need to send some sort of message (not that it's going to change anything), the car itself says plenty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or with those idiot power poles, concrete walls, pylons, and bus stops that aren't even driving. Buses, vans, taxis can't avoid them and other hazards either. Walking's not safe, Japanese tourist hit just the other day. Best just stay inside all the time. Fortunately there's online ordering, food delivery, and hookup apps these days.

You are totally correct. AKA as "situational awareness". It has to be a culural reason for this endless stupidity of so many drivers/riders (and their "political" leadership). Cars were introduced into Thailand, I understand, in 1913 (Model T Ford). In a 105 years what have they learned? Little or nothing!! My mind boggles (shakes his head in disbelief). To those killed R.I.P and condolences to families and friends. Edited November 25, 2018 by lvr181 Additional comment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree - in the main it's nonsense, check the numbers, about 14% road deaths by cars, 75% approx motorbikes 3 or 4% heavy vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiSoLowSoNoSo Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Malaysia got a better system for u-turns, most roads widens from one lane to two lanes (or to 3 lanes on roads with two lanes in the same direction) before the U-turn, this system seems to work better.

Body snatchers. Once heard they used to have photos of the most gruesome scenes at their offices and had a competition of sorts. I guess it's akin to hunters posing with some dead meat.

That will be the normal expectable behaviour on the roads of Thailand. and that includes some police officers. Truly disgraceful behaviour.
