Quote: " There had been 259 motorcycle accidents with 254 of them not wearing crash helmet"

98% not wearing crash helmets says it all really.

29% drunk.

Assuming the 29% were in the 98%, that leaves 2% with a brain.

And if the stats are under-calculated

So a 3 year old biy lost his life in the name of 'fun'

Sickening.

We should ban cars and motorcycles - before alcohol...?

Bit of an assumption there.

There are no details on the death of the 3 year old, apart from the fact that it happened between the 11th and the 19th.

If someone dies in a road traffic accident, traveling to visit family during a peak holiday travel period, such a Christmas in the UK. Do we blame Santa?

Songkran is from the 13 up until the 19th yes?

Luckily there wasn't a minivan crash on the 11th.........would have been bad for statistics.
