Sonhia Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Not unusual. Thai driving skills and road awareness / management are lacking in many aspects... Aren't Thai roads classed as one of if not the most dangerous roads in the world? Now that is something to be proud of much the same as the false claims recently made regarding free energy! But then again I'm a foreigner, or farang / falang, what ever, what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I'm a foreigner, or farang / falang, what ever, what do I know. Yes, highest or second highest (depending on where you read it) deaths on the road per capita in the World. Many farangs are aware of this statistic. However, not one Thai that I've spoken to is aware of it. If this statistic applied to the UK or any European country, every newspaper and every TV station would be screaming about it and demanding that the government do something about it. The government would be running ads on road safety with this statistic as their base. In Thailand, nothing, nada, it's buried deep and away from the public. Why? I'll leave that for others to answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Thais would care? They'd just say it's someone else's fault. They always do, about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger70 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Why is this news ,,,, Happens 24/7 ,,,,, people don't care, they drive anyway they want. The problem is the Law it doesn't get enforced If the cops were to do there job 24/7maybe we would see less Idiots who think they can do whatever they want. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalblue Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 It looks like driver made a mistake - not knowing the road vs trying to cut corner driving.... driver was too apprehensive vs typical <deleted> driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsp64 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 They really are an arrogant race of people. Maybe a mistake because they were too busy on the phone or telling the kids in the back how superior they are. Nonetheless, total stupidity from stupid people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceruhe Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Man, I can see myself doing that in a few years...roads are so inefficiently built along with these horrendously placed u-turns, provided it wasn't placed at another horrendous location just 1.5km to the wrong direction.
