This news just enforces how bad driving is in Pattaya right now and also is an example of everything that is wrong and dangerous on the roads here and lack of enforcement of traffic laws

in one sad accident we have

Drunk Driving

Likely no Helmets

Speeding

Careless driving

and to top it all off - involving the wife of a law enforcement officer, another unnecessary death

RIP

How terribly sad to see her lying there on the road after 52 years of life, surrounded by a bunch of gawking strangers. Could someone not have covered her with a blanket to preserve her dignity? At 52 she probably had children and grandchildren, and many people who cared about her. These pictures bring home the reality behind the nightly drunken statistics in this country.

RIP.

RIP, will thais ever learn a proper helmet is more than a fashion accessory ?
