Ramp up their efforts,???????????????????????????? Their efforts are non existent.

Would appear Nipon thinks its time for his 15 minutes in the spotlight.

Do they recognise that the compulsory wearing of crash helmets might help........

Exactly that Colin... They seem to think 15mins in the spotlight will be sufficient for the whole nation to take note.

 

Perhaps they should appeal to the Police to effectively enforce the perfectly reasonable existing road traffic regulations... this involves doing some work other than ‘directing traffic at rush hour and sitting in a police booth controlling traffic lights’.

How about 'Calling On' the so called 'Police' who's job it is to administer Law Enforcement ?

Lots more deaths happen when you drive fast. So the government wants to boost safety right after they just changed the Speed limit on Thailand's highways. It has been increased to 120 kilometres an hour. The government has approved an official increase in the upper speed limit on Thailand's national and rural highways, with the aim of improving traffic flow. What's next? You'll need a James Bond car with turrets and missile launchers
