In reality, the roads are very slippy at times with polished tarmac, oil residue and rain. But no one should be driving fast enough to slide ‘off the road’. This is involuntary manslaughter. Blame the idiot driving, but the lack driver education, lack of effective policing are also complicity. We need to see more ‘driver education’ on primetime TV (between the soaps etc). 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thais don't seem to be educated in the skill of adjusting one's speed to the driving conditions that are in play. Too many kids killed on the roads by incompetent drivers. One is too many. RIP. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tea Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) On 9/17/2020 at 11:41 AM, Surelynot said: 50 to 60 people a day killed in road accidents in Thailand .......I've always wondered what the criteria are for posting a particular accident when there are so many from which to choose. The accident happened in the Phuket-ish area, involved a Phuket-registered vehicle, was reported in the Phuket News and has been posted in the Phuket News forum. Those criteria were probably relevant to this particular accident being reported in the OP. Edited September 20, 2020 by Hi Tea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
