If you drive sensibly on high alert you can avoid the other bad drivers.

When I first got my license my grandmother bought be an advanced driving course. 
If you know what you are doing and how to handle a car properly then you can avoid 99% of accidents. 

I didnt even drive much there and got hit on the highway by a guy changing lanes without looking, he sped off after. When it happened i thought it was intentional but with enough time living there i realized that they just dont drive good there. On the last vacation i saw a guy get hit trying to cross the highway, when i happened i thought it wasnt real. Im fortunate to have experienced what reality is there for myself before something out of my control happened. When it does it wont matter whether your sober or drunk. But i was in my 20s, and im still not old yet and have too much to lose

You had want to be careful in the USA.

Its as safe as driving in any other western country. Getting caught driving drunk here is hard to get yourself out of, but you wont lose your life like in thailand

If you want to know what 40,000 in a year looks like then look at Gaza.

You have to adjust to the local conditions.

You are not the only farang that gets freaked out by it.

You can adjust and still not have control over your surroundings. The chance of getting hit by a stupid person is 100x higher in thailand, and i think im being generous

I had an incident when I was 18 that involved a very old car, a mountain ravine in the middle of nowhere, and one too many Xmas drinks during the midnight hour.

I somehow managed to not over-correct and stay on the road, instantly sober, scared the crap out of me, and never ever did it again.

Your survey omits the only scenario that suits me:

• I have on very rare occasions driven hours after I have had a single drink

Drinking and driving should be treated with physical punishment.
