Dangerous delivery drivers.

[Elvis Presley]

It seems in Thailand that delivery drivers here, all the big players, drive like absolute nutcases on the roads. From the scooter gimps who are always in a hurry to the transit van guys who think they own the road.

 

They all drive like absolute lunatics, and a friend once told me that you better not get into an accident with them, as they will lay it on thick, claiming this and that to get as much money out of the other person as humanly possible...

 

The sooner we have delivery drones for food and other items the better..

I'm sick to death of these delivery goons!

Elvis from Tupelo.

Transit vans ? Never seen a transit van in Thailand, regions vary I guess.

I mean the big van things with doors on them at the back.

They seem to me to be no more crazy than all of the other drivers on the road...

Agreed - many of these ‘box van’ drivers are nutters.

I’m not sure if it’s confirmation bias, but I keep seeing them pulling reckless manoeuvres.

 

Dash-cams are essential…

That's what they are called then.

 

Box vans.

 

Thanks for the clarification. And yes, they drive very dangerously indeed.

Farang tourists are far worse, lack of skill but they don't know it

Sheesh, here we go again, Bunk-Bed Bob is back on his soapbox, shaking his fist at yet another segment of Thai society that refuses to revolve around his personal, self-entitled level of comfort. This time, it’s the Scooter Gimps & Transit Tuk-Tuk Tyrants ruining his otherwise serene, beer-soaked existence. The outrage! The horror! The mild inconvenience of having to occasionally look both ways before stepping out onto the street. The downright audacity!

 

Honestly, Bung-Basting Bob, you must be absolutely exhausted from the sheer volume of things that grind your gonads. From motorbike taxis riding on footpaths to delivery drivers daring to do their jobs at speeds that offend your delicate sensibilities, it’s a miracle you haven’t collapsed and suffered a conniption on the spot.

 

And what’s this about delivery drones being the answer? Yes, Bobby Ball-Tug, because I’m sure the sight of dozens of buzzing metallic contraptions whizzing over your head, dropping somtam and milk-tea beverages from the sky, will definitely be less annoying to you. Let’s be real, mate, you’d be on here the very next day moaning about “those bloody flying rats” ruining the pristine Pattaya skyline, scaring the soi dogs and bar hags, and dropping krapow gai onto your balding head like spicy bits of bat-dung while you sulk over a lukewarm Leo.

 

But tell us, Blimpy Bob, did a Food Panda driver accidentally cut you off while you were wobbling back from 7-Eleven with your daily ration of cheap fags and Chang? Or was this just another manufactured grievance to pass the time until your next dramatic declaration that you’re now finally a PR, but that you're so cheesed off that you are leaving Thailand forever (again)?

 

At this point, mate, the only “lunatic on the roads” that really needs to be dealt with is the one who’s been endlessly circling the mental swamp drain for the past decade, desperately trying to convince himself that he’s still in control of anything in his beer-swilling, hardship-posting existence, except for the frequency of his own adult-diaper changes.

Nah, he can still post from Spain. Where in this Wrold is there no internet........Antarctica South Pole....until Elon gets his birdies up there. Where????

It seems to be hired by such a company as driver/rider they require an IQ < 80.

I suggest he makes that an extended "tie down"

Oops on second thoughts it is Bob I am addressing and I have probably just given him an idea for another of his tall stories!

A transit van is a van that conveys goods or people, there's loads of them around. 

A Transit van is a commercial Ford vehicle!

Hehe.

(Some, many, most) online forums have much the same requirement for membership.

4 beers or 4 katoey's ?

[Lacessit]

Dear Elvis/Bob/Bignok/ Susanlea etc. etc.

 

The subject of Thai roads and Thai drivers has been done to death. Just assume everyone out there on the roads is trying to kill you.

 

Why don't you try a different topic, such as does being vaccinated reduce your sex drive? Guaranteed to pull in all the fruitcake posters.

Lower level yes, tourists often have limited motorcycle experience so go too fast especially at dangerous junctions

Knowing Bob it will be both, not that he is capable of handling either!
