Insurance companies are gonna run all over the blue truck driver with claims.... not that he will have money to settle any of them. 

IMO number 2 insurance should be compulsory.

If I had the choice of being on Thai roads or roads in the UK, I know where I'd rather be. Last time I looked, the death rate in Thailand was 10x that of the UK with a similar population number.
