So if the schools are closed for the holidays, aren't these kids more exposed to the "slaughter" in the "killing ground outside schools"?

What a sad, sad story. I feel sorry for all concerned.

First we swipe both of them resulting in that they fall on the ground. Nor stop the car and check what happened. Instead reserve over the head of the child????

Was that to complete job? This is why Thailand needs real driving education.

I did gear, the best, and cheaper solution of an accident, if the victim is dead. The driver can settle the compensation with the family, one time. If the victim survived, and going to be disabled, need to pay compensation at every months, till his/her end of life
