Prachuap aims for safer Songkran with fewer than 35 accidents, 36 injuries, and 3 deaths

[webfact]

 

As is customary this time of year, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province has unveiled a new campaign dedicated to the prevention and reduction of road accidents.

 

Governor Somkid Chanthamrik inaugurated a new operation center on April 9, 2024, at the provincial hall, marking the start of a campaign to enhance road safety and traffic management from April 11-17, 2024.

 

Under the slogan “Drive Safely, Thailand Without Accidents,” the initiative seeks to mitigate the heightened risk of accidents during Songkran, a period when thousands travel to their hometowns or vacation spots.

 

Prachuap Khiri Khan, a crucial thoroughfare for travelers heading to and from the southern provinces, is the focus of these efforts.

Sad that it's come to these numbers.

It's come to be expected as a norm that people will die and many will be maimed or worse during Songkran.....

Isn't it the case that fewer people die on the roads during the long holidays because there are fewer opportunities to drive fast and drive recklessly? We have seen the figures quoted on this website many times before.

Is that the PM in the red trousers?   

 

[Lapun]

I wonder if they would have the same mentality if one of the deaths was a family member of any of the authorities deciding the fatality goal?

[PETERTHEEATER]

The traffic density in Hua Hin town at weekends ensures that the only deaths of vehicle drivers is due to old age. 😀
