sutnyod Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 ...who is to blame? The party that put up the bloody thing blocking the whole sidewalk? The person who put up the poster? The person/s depicted on the poster? The driver of the car that hit you? You, because you were too lazy/gutless to dismantle the whole thing? The company that constructed the sidewalk? The signboard factory for making them too big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Is this your first election experience here? So far the quantity of signs seems far fewer than in previous elections. If you are a foreigner then you are "to blame" regardless of the circumstances. If you weren't here then there would have been no accident, or so the logic goes.

In this case you are to blame though, just because there is something blocking the pavement, why does this make it ok to walk onto the road without checking for cars? You would also probably get hit by a car if you try and cross a road with your eyes shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutnyod Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Is this your first election experience here? Yes for Bangkok, no for Thailand. One of the taxi drivers I took the other day said he hates those posters. They always make him think there are potential passengers waving at him . As for reality: I think I would most likely end up being hit by a motorcycle. Cars are lined up in a jam, but those motos come from everywhere...

Losangels Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 How's this, if I get hit by a car/motorcycle getting off the bus that the idiot bus driver stopped to let passengers get off on the middle of the road that refuses to stop at the bus stop/lane, I am to blame?

Onnutrd Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Was recently told by my thai bf that: Bus drivers are crazy, if you hit them, you got 2 choices. 1) call insurance company 2) pay the driver because they cant be bothered waiting for the insurance company. Trucks are worse coz they drive in the fast lane at 60 k/hr. was told they all on drugs, so be prepared for them to hit you even if you dont do anything. if you do anything to make them angry, watch out. Motorbikes, if hit by a car, the car is the quilty one becuase the motorbike is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
