NongKhaiKid Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 At first i thought it was my local Lotus where the drivers would take their vehicles inside and up and down the lanes if they could. It beats parking in the Disabled Drivers' spaces nearest to the entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolJadzia Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 What difference does taking a test make when the standards required to pass it are so basic that only very limited training, if any, is needed in order to pass it? Maybe she did take a test - in a geared car! But saying that accidents like this happen everywhere, just a lot more in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt 35 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Security and guard everywhere but the only airport I know where it actually are possible to drive a car directly in to the arrival hall. We shall be grateful there was no bomb in that car. Edited November 6, 2015 by Felt 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
