Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
I have never said they are all stupid but the ones that cause accidents often are. That's very easy to answer, no science necessary. It can't be effective if it doesn't happen. 1 tiny example - why are schoolkids allowed to ride 3 up with no helmets on right in front of a policeman? Ever been stopped in Thailand and asked to produce your licence? Don't worry, even though the law says you are supposed to carry it with you, if you don't have it or as is the case with a good many Thai's (factual), you don't actually hold a licence, simply pay the 200 baht fine (in cash of course) and carry on your way - no need to produce it later. Lack of consequences is the same as lack of enforcement. They have the rules, they have the punishments - they just don't enforce or apply them. Quite often the 'consquences' are a far lesser punishment that somehow doesn't reach where its intended to - that's as far as I'll go on that one, other than to say that there are often checkpoints, targeting motorcyclists who are not wearing helmets. The 'fine' is often just 50 baht and they are allowed to ride off without a helmet. What I do understand is that despite all your training, you appear to have about zero undertstanding of Thailand, its people and laws. Not sure if you live in Thailand or not but you certainly have no idea what goes on, on the roads, with the police, or many Thai drivers. If you think a scientific approach will cure Thailand's road carnage - good luck to you. To a certain extent they are different people - I have never known a UK motorcyclist pull out of a side road without looking, for example. As I said, it goes against basic survival instincts - I don't know anybody, apart from maybe a 5 year old who needs training to know that there are cars coming and you are very likely to hit one. I see no point in discussing this further with someone who can't think beyond the science. Very few things fit well with science in this matter. I've given you examples, not science, things I've seen happen that despite driving 50k miles per year, I have never seen in the UK and you choose to ignore them or try to make them fit with your 'model'. You are almost completely wrong on all points. -

Prompt Pay
you scanned and it automatically showed the baht or you added the baht amount? I've never seen it but could be bank error, repeat transactions, I can't see it happening automatically when you paid, i can see someone paying manually twice -
