Well said.

It is definitely not a good picture.

Was PU driver speeding not to see cyclist? 
 

not paying attention to road details leads to high risk behavior....

 

I wish it was one thing but proper driving is a collection of following an array of rules of the road.... 

 

it’s a shame that driving is so stressful out on Thai roads....
