Good job

Go after those drink drivers they are the cause of all accidents and deaths on the roads in Thailand.

or it there more to this road accidents and deaths ?

Nah, its Alcohol that does it all, go get em

If only 22 people were arrested for drink driving, what happened to the other 49,978?

I agree drunks on the road are a.big problem but you think that maybe breaking every traffic law ever known to man might

Be part of the problem too
