Should Thailand hold a minutes days silence in memory of those killed on the roads???

Those in charge could have a few days silence (not make stupid statements) and use the time to come up with methods to improve things. Then lose money and rank if they don't achieve it.

It's all rather simple isn't it?

The new government is having tremendous success at instilling fear in the population outside Bangkok, Pattya and a few lesser bright spots .

In CM it is the heavy boot being stomped upon drinking establishments. Constant 2-cop moto patrols. A very focussed and in your face intimidation of both faring and local establishments and patrons.

Now the question to be answered is: "Why can't this "approach" be replicated in other areas of public safety?"

Let me rephrase the question: "Where's your balls and brains boys?"

On a lighter note: what impact on driver behaviour would result if every monk in the country drove himself on a motorcycle? (we know they get chauffeured, but do we read any statistics in the news about monks injured while enroute?)

*** mmmm, I might just pick up the saffron garb at Big C this week and test this out..... I mean if Thuggee found safety in donning the garb shouldn't it work for me as well?
