Every day I go out on the roads in LOS I see something daft, I use the hooter, I mumble obscenities, I am sure most of you are the same.

 

On another thread about C19 in other countries the OP calls farangs there, stupid idiots, loons, spread by human behaviour, well I reckon that sums up Thai road behaviour.

 

 Does the OP agree, and if so, what are you doing about it....?

The vast majority of Thais drive well and carefully, often too slowly. The problem essentially comes from unconscious disregarding the rules which are more numerous here than elsewhere.

But how many are there? maybe 1 or 2%. Certainly no more.

Always the problem of generalizations...

Any driver over a period finds out how to drive properly, safely, carefully, courteously, etc. Never seen it in LOS................

Thai,s by and large have no sense of what is around them either walking or driving...tunnel vision...they can only see what,s in front of them,using mirrors to see what is behind or at the side is alien to most....using indicators...mirror signal maneuver virtually never practised....

Er, False narrative.

i say the conspiracy loons is stupid. Not farangs. I not care if black, white, yellow, red.

About 1 per 6 people. Most is lovely people.

 

About 1 per 6 in Thailand is selfish driver. Yinn is very good driver. 100,000+ km = no problem. If I join F1 I win sure, but not have spare time.

No can do,  broken face syndrome kicks in, toot sweet. 

 

Sometimes you need a brake-failure or micro-sleep while waiting in the red lights, to become a part of the statistics, no matter how good your driving skills - note the police pickup ending in the pile ????

a  better  video would be to show it  to  your country men/women/and undecided as to "why " they think all those  accidents  happened, that  would  be an  hilarious video.

It a good call. And also tough one. 

 

As not everybody is willing to accept that they are bad drivers. But if you are, then it is better to stay away from driving wheel. And be carried around by private cars and buses by somebody more skilled.

 

Stay safe. Thought and prayers.

He didn't say he was a bad driver.  I consider myself an uncommonly good driver and I avoid riding in cars while in Thailand. Even though I have ridden motorcycles in the U.S. for decades, I don't ride one here. A large percentage of the drivers on the street in any given moment are imcompetent, impaired, or both. I don't trust that one of them won't run into me at high speed. 

 

Just a few days ago the wife asked if I wanted to ride with her brother from BKK to Sisiket (a drive of several hours). Me: "No <deleted>-ing way!." Wife: "He's a good driver." Me: "And, the highway will be magically cleared of all the bad drivers while we travel up there?"

Maybe this interesting for some member.

It should not be interesting, but unfortunately it´s is for some. Tragic is a better description.

When I got my first company car in Australia, it was a requirement I had to attend and pass a course in defensive driving before I was handed the keys. I've been driving in Thailand for ten years now without an accident, so that course has stood me in good stead.

Thailand won't get anywhere with road safety until it improves driver training. However, a defensive driving course in Bangkok is 12,500 baht, which is a lot of money for the average Thai.

Every country has crashes, but there's no need for me or anyone to intervene online in the UK because the UK does not have your No1 spot for road accidents, we also have a police force and courts to deal with bad road behaviour, which included LARGE fines and imprisonment, your country has neither.

 

Exactly 57 years ago I ended up before a judge, in court, for riding a scooter underage without a license, what happens in your country...?  ????

 

An argumentative nonsense troll post has been removed

Yinn, how many of these films are you the star

Yinn, do you wear a helmet when you ride your bike ?  Does your friends , families with kids wear helmets ? 

Hi All, my Thai friend who is a motor cycle taxi driver, has the red jacket so he can work, does not have a licence and likes his whiskey.

Also has an ap on his phone to warn him of police checks.
