Maybe I am a little deaf and don't always hear the train whistle but I sure make an effort to see if a train is coming from either direction!

[godden]

When you hear that whistle blowing.

[SOTIRIOS]

...sadly this is an indication of the 'common sense' of many so-called 'skilled labor'....commercial drivers.....

...and again...those fantasy car commercials that show the driver performing all those incredible stunts....do not help at all...

At least the locals will clear up all those cans, drink packs and bottles.

Never argue with a train, you'll always lose.

[glasswort]

Many Thai drivers are brilliant at misjudging the speed of of other vehicles on the road so why should the judgement of the speed of oncoming trains be any different? Lunacy in the extreme.

Then the vehicle hit by the train will be pushed for 2 kilometres instead of 300 metres.

Why get out? Just stop, look left look right. Simple really.

Well maybe not for Thai drivers.

Two less idiots that Thailand has to deal with. But no worry, there are plenty more to take their place behind the wheel of a delivery truck.
