5% that's nothing.

 

Let try for 50% which could easily be achieved by removing vehicles and drivers who should no be on the roads...

If they introduced a Western European Standard test for both drivers and vehicles the roads would be empty...

The rich, influential elite and their spoilt brats will get a free pass as usual..... Aight???

This never works.  Traffic safety needs to be worked on all year round.  Not just during holidays.  I think last year highway fatalities actually went up despite their promise to bring them down.

No, it does "not" have to be worked on all year round---Thailand continues to prove that.   Just serious sounding media releases from govt officials during select holiday periods is adequate.

Wasn't only a few days ago that a Gov official stated that they were NOT setting targets for road fatalities this year?

52.000 dead on thai roads every year What is the problem anyone know lol

Did you beam down or something? Have you not been on the roads here?

There's about a million farang ex-pats that constantly go on about what the problem is, just read some of the posts.

Yes, by not releasing statistics no one can contest it when they announce they hit the target.
