Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
Your words... "A Safe System approach recognizes that people make mistakes, so roads, vehicles, and policies must be designed to reduce the consequences of those mistakes."........... Explain how so many get into fatal accidents on straight, dry highways, driving safe vehicles and not drunk. You can have all the proper signs, intact roads, and less drivers on the road and still people will get into accidents. The point you're still missing. It is the DRIVERS responsibility first. No ones saying all Thai drivers are incompetent. Many see that it's many that are either incompetent, arrogant without care or ignorant of the listed laws .Any of these failures leads to accidents. There are bad drivers everywhere, as we all can see from stats worldwide. What everyone who cares sees, is that more fatal accidents happen here than almost anywhere else, and it's been going on for decades, and many of these accidents are happening on good roads, in daylight, with safe vehicles. Drivers follow the laws, accidents decrease or are eliminated. -

Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
You claim to acknowledge multiple factors in road safety but still default to blaming individual drivers—ignoring decades of research showing that safe systems—not just individual responsibility—reduce accidents and fatalities. Saying 'it's the driver's responsibility first' is misleading. Of course, drivers play a role, but human error is inevitable everywhere. The difference between high-fatality and low-fatality countries isn’t driver competence—it’s how well the system protects against mistakes. Blaming Thai drivers as inherently worse ignores the fact that when Thais drive in countries with stronger enforcement, infrastructure, and road safety policies, they follow the rules just like everyone else. The issue isn’t 'bad drivers'—it’s a system that doesn’t properly manage risk. If you actually want to improve road safety, focus on scientific, data-driven solutions—not repeating stereotypes and personal observations that have no basis in real analysis." -

Is the Tax compliance going to be linked to Visa issuance ?
To clarify - BoI may be discontent they did not achieve the statistics they wanted - but those who qualified and obtained the visa read to be reasonably content with the Visa. -

White House & Emmer Demand Apology from Jeffries “a sick call for violence.”
The White House on Friday called on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to apologize after he made comments vowing to resist the Trump administration’s policies. During a press briefing, Jeffries emphasized the importance of standing up for everyday Americans, arguing that they were being harmed by what he described as an "extreme MAGA Republican agenda" that prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires and large corporations while shifting the financial burden onto New Yorkers and working-class citizens. “We are gonna fight it legislatively. We are gonna fight it in the courts. And we’re gonna fight it in the streets,” Jeffries declared. The White House communications office swiftly issued a statement condemning his remarks, calling them “a sick call for violence.” The statement questioned whether Jeffries would apologize for what it labeled “this disgusting threat” or “double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years.” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) also weighed in, taking to social platform X to demand that Jeffries “promptly apologize for his use of inflammatory and extreme rhetoric.” Emmer further argued that while “President Trump and the Republicans are focused on uniting the country; Jeffries needs to stop trying to divide it.” During the press conference, Jeffries also criticized the now-rescinded federal funding freeze and condemned Trump for implying that federal diversity initiatives were responsible for this week’s tragic collision between a military helicopter and an American Airlines plane near Reagan Washington National Airport.
