they can make the reduction target what ever they want NOTHING will change.

The change starts with proper education in driving skills at a very early age....

NOT the stupid so called "TEST" to get a driving licence.....

Yep. I remember driving up an empty Expressway years ago at Songkran. It was eerie, tbh. ???? Zombie Holocaust type scenario.

It's an everyday Sangsom Songkran day, as the song will be sung.

Then there is the accident reduction target. 

 

This year it is at 5%

With the country on the road, I'd say it would be better to estimate a 15% increase if not more.

I dare to disagree. No water splashing is one thing. Another thing is, that it is forbidden to drive around drunk. So, without water splashing and alcohol-fogged drivers, the accident ratio will be possibly 5%, not less but from previous years figures. 

Or am I getting this wrong again?

About 6.7 million people are expected to go in and out of Bangkok during this period

Is this people or vehicles ?

In total 80,000 officers are being mobilized to take care of the public during Songkran

If it is people then lets say a conservative average of 3 in a car not including trucks with 7+ on board that is around 1 cop for every 30 people, obviously if you included the crammed trucks say 7 per truck well you do the math.

A 5 % reduction on numbers of fatalities over the Carnage of the Songkran Holidays, is still a hell of a lot of lives wasted.

Or wasted drivers making hell
