When police shed their Invisibility cloaks.

So many accidents could be avoided if they just employed a bit of common sense, unfortunately............................................! ????

Police do not build roads.

Seems the motorcyclist was driving too fast or too close to the truck and did not allow an appropriate stopping distance.

We know they don't Police them but they don't have to build roads. This is about U turns. Police don't have to monitor them

They are supposed to deter bad driving habits not prey on road users.

U-turns and the new regulations for them to allow higher speed in the third lane. Driving to Korat from Saraburi yesterday we were on the part of Highway 2 that is under the new overhead Motorway travelling at about 90 kph in the middle lane  when two vehicles joined the third lane via a U-turn on  the same level as Highway 2.

 

I'm sure that I read that the higher speed level would not be allowed on roads with this crazy suicidal type of U-turn.

 

Thais have such a short memory retention!

I try to be aware of suddenly unexpected moves by all users on the roads all the time.. They never watch for other traffic but just do something...
