Officials in Prachuap Khiri Khan are stepping up safety measures in a bid to reduce the number of road traffic accidents in Hua Hin and throughout the province during the New Year holidays.

 

A working group of the Center for Preventing and Reducing Road Accidents, which is chaired by provincial governor Dr Sathien Charoen Rian, has set a goal of no more than 54 road traffic accidents and 5 fatalities in Prachuap Khiri Khan province between 29 December 2021 to 4 January 2022.

 

A new road safety campaign titled “New Life, Safe Driving, No Accidents” will promote road safety in the province during the New Year period.

With no tourists, half the venues closed, and nothing to do at night except stay at home that might be achievable.

I fear the target is doomed.....

So apparently 5 fatalities will be acceptable - though I assume not members of the provincial governors own family!

surely the Aim should be for Zero fatalities?
