Through my observations I have come up with a multi point plan to reduce accidents and fatalities. Brilliant. Forward it to the relevant Thai and Greek authorities and I'm sure they'll implement your plan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Okey dokey.......where's the plan then? I had a plan when I was living in Greece.........to get a military tank and start smashing on all those idiots driving like lunatics. For the information of the members, driving in Greece, is not much better than in Thailand............ Next time, I will look around if I find one in Thailand.................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hocuspocus Posted October 16, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2014 Sorry for posting accidently the first part of my post (new computer pressed the wrong button) but here is the continuation of my post. Firstly: Change the side of the road we drive in Thailand to the right hand side of the road as I have observed while riding by bicycle through the twists and turns through the rice fields nearly all oncoming traffic is on the wrong side of the road but probably they think it is the right side to be on. Secondly: I have noticed that most drivers in Thailand like to go through red lights and they are very slow and reluctant to go through lights when they turn to green. So my proposal is to change all red lights to green and green lights to red, you can work out the rest your selves without me elaborating. Thirdly: Make it entirely legal for motor cycles and cars to pull out from side roads without looking and if you hit them you are entirely to blame. Fourthly: Let children start driving motor cycles at two years old and by the time they reach the average age of motorcyclist's of about 13-14 years old they may be reasonable drivers. Fifthly: Make it easier for Falangs to get work permits so they can start up driving schools as in my three years here I have not seen one driving school car. I am sure there are others who have got ways to improve things on the road so please go ahead. I am sure my plans would improve things as Thailand's road statistics are about the worst in the world, so things can only get better with my plans. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A confused mess of a thread, starting and finishing at your front door. The opening title is simply not applicable to what follows, which apparently is supposed to be a joke. Tragedies are not something to joke about. Go away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical, so you are the super duper driver from the western countries that is the Judge of driving here in Thailand. You are so so wrong wrong with a comment like that, hope you was just having a dig at Thais in fun because they will certainly laugh a lot about someone like you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
