Distraction and poor experience main causes of motor accidents in Thailand: survey

[captspectre]

The inability to use the steering wheel, thereby cutting every corner. Not looking before entering a main road. The inability to drive at a speed somewhere between very slow and very fast. The belief that the rear view mirror is supplied solely to dangle Buddhas and 20 baht flower garlands, which incidentally considerably restrict forward vision. Driving without lights. Driving with entire light shows front and back. No road sense or spatial awareness. Crap roads full of potholes. Truck and bus drivers on yaba. Overloaded, illegally modified vehicles. Etc. Etc. Etc.

well said! you forgot "disregarding traffic lights!"

Ran out of the desire to live towards the end of the list. Yep, forgot to mention that all Thai drivers are colourblind. Anyway, the sole purpose of traffic lights is to slow traffic down so they can buy a new garland.

The road "system " is the biggest problem and most other problems stem from it. Always has and will be until someone wakes up and new construction is done differently.
