Or Snakes Kill

Another seemingly needless accident here.....

snake failure

Poor snake.

thai drivers like to swerve for no real reason, I have been side swiped by thais swerving to my side of the road to avoid puddles of water, they just do it without thinking or being aware there is a car there, they seem to lack the mentality to think before doing in a lot of cases, really pathetic driving skills

According to my misses a snake or any other kind of reptile that crosses the road in front of you is good luck so needs to be avoided at all costs. It looks like this ladies good luck ran out because she killed the snake.

One should not use the word skill in any attempt to describe Thai driving.

Well my wife say similar but never heard her say you should not kill it. Anyway over the 3 weeks I have hedged my bets. 3 wriggled across unscathed including the last one and one I had the opportunity of squashing it flat. Still no good luck or bad luck.
