Crazy Pick-Up drivers. Look at the Pick-UP and Car adverting from Toyota, Isuzu and Mitsubishi, they all show the vehicles racing and doing impossible feats that could only be achieved by professional drivers. What kind of message does that send out to prospective customers? "You to can drive like this if you own one of our Vehicles" Thailand will always remain top of the list as the worst country for road accidents. As most Thais would say "Its part of our culture".

One of the many problems in this country is no-one ever learns lessons because the rich pay their way out of trouble and the police say they cannot impose high fines as the poor can't afford to pay the fine - Don't they realise that this is exactly the point, it is called a "Deterrent"
