personchester Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 then theres: not using indicators, not using mirrors, not obeying the road rules or even knowing them, pulling out from the kerb, driveway etc wiithout checking traffic overtaking on double lines and blind corners turning from the wrong lanes using a turning lane to go straight ahead driving fast through shopping centre car parks going the wrong way in car parks against the arrows driving on the wrong side of the road overtaking with oncoming traffic on that side of the road and flashing their lights expecting you to pull over for them cutting across the front of your car on a bike when you are turning a corner basically just about everything Great! Nothing to add! Your outline may apply to small country regions and not big cities, I drive daily in a big city with heavy fast traffic and traffic problems are chiefly caused by motorbike drivers not car drivers, as a result many motorbike drivers are killed daily.

Hmm this sounds excatly like Bangkok, not just Nakhon Nowhere. But yes, the biggest pain are the motorcycles, no matter where you are. If I had a checklist with me on yesterdays drive through BKK I could have marked all of the points above and find many more. It´s a mess, everyone is so fast, angry, frustrated and wreckless, I guess they are all frustrated by their own chaos and react with more agression as a response, a never ending circle. My new favoruite is overtaking in the parking lot with like 40-50kmh just to be ahead But I don´t mind that, usually I´ll just take one of the VIP lots and pay more to avoid any cardiac events.

Cheops Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) If you've had 7 accidents in Thailand I think you need to either give up driving or increase your awareness of what is going on around you. I could have had numerous accidents but have avoided them by either anticipating or reacting quickly to the lunatic or careless acts of others. 7 accidents with no blame attaching to self? Surely no one can be that unlucky. Hah! I´m here 4 years and have been rear ended 3 times already in traffic jams, so it´s not very hard to have 10 accidents in 10 years. What could I have done about that? Raise my shields and fire some aft torpedos? Thanks, indeed 7 accidents that I had are really not that much in Thailand, considering I'm here 9,5 years now! I'm not even counting the numerous small scratches I have from the morons on motorcycles who THINK they can just squeeze in between my car and another. Or just scratched my car when it's parked somewhere. Of course nobody even cares to look, let alone try to pay for the damage! I really would like to have some attached machine guns in some occasions:) Edited September 15, 2014 by Cheops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireblade919 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) What is the Point of this topic? If you don't like Thai driving style, then either don't drive here, or drive yourself directly to the Airport and get on the first flight out. that's a DELETED attitude.thai people should be making farung feel welcome,thai people could not drive anywhere else in the world ,oh they could drive in Namibia or India ,maybe Russia not anywhere else;you have road rules here ,uh well obey them and have respect for others.DELETED Edited January 2, 2016 by seedy troll / flaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rws85 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 People driving down the wrong side of the road has by far been the most scariest experience for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) People who park in front of my house gate because it's close to the market. When confronting them, the reply I get is "this is Thailand. I can park anywhere". I have put up orange cones to at least keep a bit of space open so I can get out in case of an emergency, but they either drive over my cones or take them away. So now I had to hire a guard to keep the people from parking in front of my house. Edited January 3, 2016 by JoeW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace of Pop Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Worth noting that Thailand has 50 % more Mo Cycles registered than Europe if you start playing the numbers game, + Cycle Riders not recorded or guesstimated wobbling all over the Nation .
