Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
Yes, politeness like refusing to stop at pedestrian crossings.....which conveniently take me to a story about Enforcement. I suggest you go to Sukhumvit in Bangkok, more specifically to the crossroads with Soi's 3 and 4. That junction is traffic light controlled - sometimes automatically, sometimes by a policeman who sits in the box on the Soi 4 side of Sukhumvit Road. Not only is the junction controlled by traffic lights, a lighted pedestrian crossing is included in order that people, mainly tourists can get across the busy road, safely. The police box has a clear view of the lights on that pedestrian crossing yet cars go though the lights at red all the time - the green man is on clear view to the police officer who does precisely nothing about it, day in, day out. A tourist couple were killed there a few years ago yet the drivers still go through the lights every day and the policeman sits there looking at the green man being shown to pedestrians. Enforcement? Pfft. -

British dad mysteriously vanishes in Bangkok
Could you please direct me to where it says he is unemployed? The Thaiger article doesn't mention it, nor the article above, (as far as I can see). Or, do you know him personally? -

Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
You are right in some of what you say, about the enforcement and roads, infrastructure,but you're wrong thinking I'm off in my assessments. It isn't bias when you see things personally firsthand. It isn't racist when you tell things as they are. It's observation, and mine mirrors many others here. This topic is about perceptions and reality, something I've talked about many times, and you're still missing it, maybe because you refuse to believe you're wrong in some thinking, and others have more experience than you do in some things. This is the definition of perception..... per·cep·tion /pərˈsepSH(ə)n/ noun noun: perception; plural noun: perceptions the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. "the normal limits to human perception" .................That's what I've been saying all along. I and others here have that ability. reality is what actually is happening, meaning the same thing. We are seeing how people drive here, daily, for years, and things haven't changed and only gotten worse. Personal observations are real. We aren't hallucinating when we see locals cut people off, drive recklessly, go into oncoming traffic instead of taking the safer approach and going in the next lane, driving with up to 6 on a scooter, driving without helmets or having children operate motor vehicles illegally. It's reality. There is some agenda you seem to have, where you think what you say is right and we are all wrong, as it is hardly just me that observes these things happening. Where do you think data comes from? People. .
