BangkokReady Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Alcohol aside, does anyone feel that the general Thai style of driving being "it's fun and OK to drive as fast and as dangerously as possible" is a contributing factor to these types (or perhaps most) accidents? It's almost hard to get outraged at the death, given that what caused it (minus the alcohol) was possibly largely the completely accepted way that people drive in Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like where they close a carriageway there is often very little to no warning of it. Same when they cut the grass in the central reservations, ambling onto the fast lane with their cutters. Agree, they need to put more branches from trees on the ground, one doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did read that the engineer was hit by a car while putting out cones though, right ? You think there were safety measures in place, there was a watchman, there was a ‘works lorry’ with full lighting (arrow pointing to the next lane) to protect the guy putting out cones ??????? Do you believe the same safety measures we would expect to see in place in the West were in place on this occasion ??? Have you ever been to Thailand ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a "well known university" as the article indicates, she'd be from a well-off family.

Fex Bluse Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I can see from the comments that lots of newbies don't know much about Thailand... Lecturing at the well known uni and driving a Benz should make anyone who knows Thailand immediately suspect the driver is from a wealthy family. You don't get these jobs without being connected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upu2 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Condolences to his family. The driver or the vehicle should be jailed for a long time and pay massive compensation to the victims family. He wont of course but we would not expect it with the way justice is handed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do this is obviously quite stupid, but does Thailand even have a law against it? Why not? I have done it long time ago, helps immensely with the sun. And I've never experienced any visibility issues. Not even in mountain roads at 4AM at night without a single light except my headlights. The fact that it isn't allowed in the US, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be done anywhere else in the world, or that it affects safety in any way. As a matter of fact, the US bans tinting windows not for safety reasons, but mainly because those thugs with guns and badge over there in the US want to see who is driving ????

SuwadeeS Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Yesterday, I was almost hit by a silver Benz as well. I walked in a Soi. Thanks to my full attention and fast reflex, I could jump away. Even after 20 years and no accident, I was very lucky because that Benz driver seems to try to hit me on purpose. So, I consider this social political as stone age. Here is no law of fairness, just the law of richness reckless and arrogance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackstask Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 "She appeared to be drunk but told police that she wasn't and that she would take care of everything." Hi so Bitch! She'll get off with a hefty fine and a few coffers to the victims family. As far as her position as a University Lecturer, It's not what you know in Thailand. It's Who you are and who you know and how much money you have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference between this girl and a drunk guy driving his cement truck what it costs to get away with it.... time vs money... The difference between this woman and the drunk guy driving his cement truck is that she is a highly paid university lecturer (judging by the car she drives) amongst the top 10 percent of intelligence and social awareness in the country and knows exactly what the consequences of her actions would be. The drunk lorry driver is much lower on the social awareness scale and probably lives from day to day with no thought for the future. She is highly privileged within Thai society he is just a pleb. She probably has the clout to make it go away the lorry driver doesn't.. The man she killed was a manual worker doing his job. Manual workers are considered to be the lowest in society according to academics worldwide who think that manual work does not deserve the same rewards as sitting in an office, schoolroom or laboratory 'using your brain'. Her mindset will be that it was nobody important who can be easily replaced. She deserves every slur and rancid comment made about her whether they are true or not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
