Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
Like most people, you are looking at it from the wrong angle Worldwide, most accidents are caused as a result of "human error" - but you need to understand what that actually is. Human error is for all practical purposes a constant - the same in any country. Road Safety is a public health issue and has to be dealt with by the authorities. to get a realistic viewpoint of road safety in Thailand you can't just rely on personal, anecdotal evidence as it is too full on cognitive errors. This is the problem with most opinions expressed on Thai rod safety - they are based on the premise "I drive so I must be an "expert"". I too have been driving for over 20 years in Thailand and have driven extensively in Europe Australia as well as America and even Morocco. The length of time I've been driving and the mileage covered would put be above the average Thai driver. This is only important if it is accompanied with a good knowledge of road safety and how it works. This is not guaranteed by just "driving" - you need to understand the statistics and the theory behind road safety and it is NOT just about driving - that is the first mistake commentators make. Also people talk about Thai driving in some kind of universal sweeping tones - this is of course racist but wildly inaccurate. Half the vehicles on Thai roads are 2-wheelers - if you are in a 4-wheeled vehicle you re statistically LESS likely to die than in a 4-wheeled vehicle in the States - yet so many people accuse Thai drivers of being "the worst". They are of course just making assumptions based on their own cognitive biases. Most Thai drivers are experienced at driving in Thailand, most foreigners aren’t and they are culturally unaware and inept as well. -

I just came back from the parole office I have to report to for the crime I committed.
He said he was on parole having to do 90 day reports. If he doesn't want to do them then just cancel his O visa. His choice. -
