Thailand reports 28 deaths in total from 241 road accidents on the sixth day of the “seven dangerous days” of Songkran period

[toofarnorth]

What about drunk driving AND poor vision.  Please folk if you have to drive this week do look out for those , if raining best wait 'til the roads dry out. Half blind , half drunk , half the road is wet. What a set up eh.

Thailand reports 28 deaths in total from 241 road accidents on the sixth day of the “seven dangerous days” of Songkran period. 

 

That should read 6 days of the 265 dangerous days.

They are All dangerous days the Whole Year.   ????

and poor vision with 18.26 percent.

Yet the RTP have 100% poor vision on continuing having checkpoints, they have never worked, and yet continue in this forking waste of time, insanity indeed ! Road patrols are the only way to stop these idiots, but the problem there would be their poor vision out of their heavily tinted windscreens.

i drove back from Pattaya to phetchabun yesterday some of the brain-dead ars....s behind the wheel of these vehicles just astounded me ..if I'd not have been driving with enough attention to cater for the idiots there would have a more dead ..a pick up with a full family on the back kids ect over took me but the right hand lane  was blocked by a lorry doing a u turn i literally jumped on the brakes and this pri.k had just enough room to cut in front of me .. potential wipeout of the whole lot  some of these don't deserve to reach their destination ..i had my family in the car it shook me up thinking what could have happened if id not reacted ....brain dead <deleted> 

Frankly,you should just have kept going and let it plough into the lorry. Family wiped out..?.  Well,I doubt we’d have lost a cancer cure - perhaps slightly raised the world’s average IQ a tad…

These 7 dangerous days are nonsense, the average figure of deaths is 60 per day for the whole of 2016, so day 6 at 28 deaths is half the annualised average.  It's the same every year, lies, damned lies and statistics.

The only way the figures could be correct is that some of them were so shi7tfaced that they couldn't even make it into the car let alone move it.

Has the usual term ‘seven deadly days of Songkran’ been softened to ‘dangerous’ ???

 

 

and… 241 accidents… what about the other few hundred ??? 
not yet reported ??? Gotta make those stats look good ! 

And add all those who died in hospital.....????

 

And ",dangerous" days are all 365 days????

[Humpy]

How many were pulled over for not wearing a helmet, passengers riding in m/c 'sidecars', 5 on a m/c, underage drivers/riders the list goes on....... TiT

CM Dad.... I guess you didn't know, probably, that there is under-speeding, over-speeding, and then (thirdly, but most importantly) right-on speeding.  ????  (I noticed this term with, I imagine, equal amusement as you.)  

[friendphil]

I am not living in Thailand now, and am not really up on the news there...  But I wonder if the numbers of accidents, injuries and fatalities are down because of Covids and people staying home more.  Your thoughts?

This guy drove by us at about 150kph. 10 km later he was upside down. This was only 12 hours after the 7 deadly days ended and was on Hwy 4 outside of Pranburi.

I suspect still drunk or well hung-over driving home the morning after too.
