thai3 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I think Thainess is the problem not the solution. The solution has to start with a real driving test to replace the joke one they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) The guy seems not aware that the term "Thainess" is used as a lame excuse for all things that turn out wrong, in a nation where everybody is high on Thainess.

Robm579 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yep that'll work a treat... How about get a driving license... Make sure your lights (esp rear light...the one that's supposed to be RED..) works... Maybe consider stopping at traffic lights... Use the mirrors... before you do a manoever... Other Than to see if you got away with it... Maybe maintain the vehicle... Limit bike passengers to one... Enforce the laws... Rather than gather cash... But then... Well it wouldn't be Thailand... And just like "back home"... So **** it ... Let a few thousand "innocents" continue dying every year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion58 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 How about actual traffic enforcement - preferably overseen by someone other than the Thai Yakuza (read: RTP.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Paul Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 How about driving and keeping to the Road traffic Act, NOW that would bve a start, those on ropundabouts have right of way , whenh turning indicate, whenh stopping indicate and when doing something really silly like driving the wrong way against the traffic fined 10,000 baht. Apply same laws to Govt and police vehicles we might just see a change. HOPEFULLY, Thainess is all about me me me me me . !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 After analyzing the driving habits of Thailand , one could only conclude that there is far too much Thainess in their driving habits..............................................

connda Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Better Driving Through 'Thainess'. Really. Guess we should expect a spike in utterly insane driving. That's 'Thainess' behind the wheel. Put police behind the wheel of patrol cars and pull insane drivers over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 They exhibit 'Thainess' every time they hit the road......Arrogance, Ignorance, Selfishness, Self-Centeredness, Delusional, Etc etc. What more can they do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just witnessed 3 Thai youths and a western youth on skateboards being towed behind a motorbike up Thrappaya road in Jomtien in rush hour trafic - they were holding onto one another by the hands......strewth.

BudRight Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Oh come on people, this guy is trying the kind way to improve the dangerous highways in Thailand. But it's about the same logic as talking kindness and understanding with ISIS at one their mass executions. The Thai police got to get off their lazy asses and get tough on traffic law enforcement. Seems like they only show up after there's been an accident. Where I reside here Highway 11 goes through and there are frontage roads on each side. Those frontage roads should have a speed limit no more than 40KPH, oh no those morons act like its the highway and blast through there going way over that. Police should post that at 40 use a radar gun and make more money then they'd know what to do with. He's just a muppet trying to justify his own existence. Intent is completely irrelevant by the way - only effects matter. Guess what will be the effect of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmarleesco Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 '... the campaign will seek to create value in proper and courteous driving and will include passing out recognition and stickers to exemplary drivers.' Well, no point in wasting money on overprinting, then. 'The 600 drivers undergoing initial training have also been invited to a midnight prayer on April 12 to symbolize the beginning of their new driving habits.' Usual reliance on luck, with a large dose of superstition. And there will be another on the 13th to symbolise the end ... or the non-beginning.

mca Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Last time I drove back from Bangkok to Khon Kaen I witnessed 3 tail end shunts between the Big Mango and Saraburi. One involving 5 cars. OF course once the holdup cleared everyone was back riding on the arse of the car in front. Leaving a safe stopping distance with the car in front is a waste of time as there'll always be some knobend squeezing into the gap. Sadly I fear any road safety campaign is an exercise in futility.

NongKhaiKid Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Don't Thais already drive with Thainess as in the ' Me, Me ' attitude ? Examples, Me always first at lights, junctions, parking, road position etc. Me have bigger car so me definitely first. Me important person, nothing more needs to be said about that. The list is endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
