Someone can verify…..I think more accidents actually occur around breakfast time or slightly after.  This one at night……but be careful until lunch.  Then at 2 pm it’s dangerous again.

Very sad ..... but how many times do you see them park their vehicles  on a bend in the road,  on the brow of a hill etc ...

 

More road sense can  stop these accidents...........maybe

A dangerous maneuver I see all too often.

According to previous years statistics, most accidents occur  between 4 and 8 pm.

People change during Songkran. This morning I went shopping at Makro at 7.30 am and the place was busy, usually no one there at this time. But not just Makro everywhere like they all s--t their beds

I thought that more recently, because of increased awareness, statistically, the 7 deadly days are actually marginally safer than the other 358.
