Popular Post Shot Posted July 17, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2012 If you are late in your late 50s or early 60s wearing a ball cap, driving a bronze Mazda Fighter, about 10 years old which looks like its about ready to fall apart, license # ending in 7, and you were north bound coming down the hill into Kamala at 1620 today, passing a motorbike, doing about 80 km in a very dangerous area, on a 2 lane road, driving like a yaba induced cement truck driver, with no regard for life whatsoever, just so you could get to the red light 1/10th of a second before anyone else. SLOW THE <deleted> DOWN. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1fanatic Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I assume that it was a Westerner that annoyed you. Get used to it... Many Thais and Westerners alike drive extremely badly and there is nothing we can do to change it. Just always expect the unexpected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostile17 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I think i have seen that guy @ headstart a few months ago. Almost killed me in my car and 3 bikes to get to the waitline to turn. Could be someone else but sounds similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 <deleted> are <deleted>, whether here or farangland. We've all seen it, we have all dealt with it, BUT the worry is if a Pea brain is doing it. Yesterday had a Pea brain on my bumper, thought, OK, PLEASE over take, he did, then slammed on his anchor's to turn left . BUT, he overtook a 4x4, made him feel good, and probably made his day. Rock On. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertthebruce Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yes Amazes me here, the amount of ''Farangs'' who drive like idiots, and also on there ''Scooters'' with no Crash Helmet and just stopping and starting when they feel like it.... daft or what..

Hostile17 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 had a lady farang on a honda click wearing a full rain suit, metallic blue, take the exit from bypass towards ptown and turn straight into traffic with her eyes closed to tesco, 3 lanes in. barely passed her by half an inch then she almost hit 3 other cars with her eyes still closed Hopefully its one of your wives and she will get disciplined once you read this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ping Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 If you drove here the same as you did in your home country, you'd never get through most T intersections. You have to adpat. But yes, some blokes take the adapting a tad to far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have max 2 small bottles and feel it is okay to drive, any more than that is irresponsible!! Kenny lets establish this right now....Your 2 beers is a financial choice Kenny....now we will move on. When me and the missus go out. I drive first and she drives home, she doesnt drink. So I rarely drink and drive these days......thats through laziness though. Anyways I thought 'Rose Coloured glasses Kenny" loved everything about Phuket. IMO I dont like westerners coming to another country trying to impose their own rules and beliefs here. I really cant stand interfering old people with nothing better to do than try and make this country a nanny state. In Australia its practically illegal to do anything there because of the do-gooder gang....its why I left, I cant conform to a society like that. Im constantly looking over my shoulder for cops wanting to pull me over, traffic infringement officers that can fine you from anything from not having a dog on the leash, to watering your garden, to parking somewhere for more than 15mins..... bouncers that wont let you in because you want to wear shorts and a t-shirt, a public that is apathetic to all the laws and actually go out of their way to dob you in.....try kicking back on the beach in Australia with a can of beer and a smoke, the SWAT team would be onto you in seconds, plus the gangs of geriatric men and women wanting to publicly lynch you with walking sticks and purses. The cops in Australia love it...they dont even have to do their own policing. They have everyone living in fear....if you want Phuket to loose its charm and freedom, put someone like Kenny in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehaigh Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 what annoys me most about driving in phuket is that many drivers seem to be in a coma, especially at traffic lights. they know the light is going to change, there's a count down, yet it often takes them seconds to pull away from the light. and they leave huge spaces from the car in front when going though busy intersections, at rush hour, like Jao Faa East about 1km south of daorung school. many people say drivers here are too aggressive but i think they are not aggressive enough. try driving in rome, that's aggressive driving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
