Maybe if driving tests were conducted on actual roads,instead of

in a car park,but they might have a problem finding tester's brave

enough to get in the car. its too easy to get a driving licence here,

last time I was at the test center to renew my licence there was

a very old Thai man,he said he could not see what was on the 

board,so they took him away,later on I seen him walking away 

with a new licence.

Didn't they find out a few weeks ago, that traffic- jams are caused by too many cars?

Wouldn't it be logical, that accidents could be avoided by reducing the number of ...cars?

and apart from crushing the cars of dangerous and drunken drivers, how do they do that?

Maybe leave car owning and driving to the rich? You know what I mean.

My wife's Son just payed 3,000 baht under the table (key money) to get his drives license, I told my wife this is so wrong.

She said 80% of all Thai here do this,  it just the way we do it now....The Thai Way.

So I told her that your Son will never drive my truck....EVER!

That's the American way...lol

Unless you have a thick wallet, you are not going to keep your wife for long.

They need a WHO report to take action on an obvious problem in the country? Sheesh...

[jerojero]

They could start by making the test a real test and actually failing people who don't meet the standard. Right now it is a joke.

Not entirely. Wife recently took driver training and Test, where actually number of others failed it. Some were reduced to tears at the test center when failed.

Wow the "365 dangerous days"

2016 has 366 days, resulting in more deads than in 2015.

 

The only way to decrease the road deaths is STOP selling petrol, diesel, NGV and LPG in Thailand !!!

the system in Cambodia is a bit weird because there they take learner drivers onto actual roads from the very beginning of their tuition (much more chaotic than here) but then they are tested back in a compound (or car park like environment as you referred to)

Allegedly in Turkey you need to prove you can drive around a tree in a field to get your license. Oh and not hit the tree.

 

if ever you go there you will believe that even if proven to be untrue

 

i have the brown pants to prove it too!
