Geordie59 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It may improve safety but I don't see how wearing a seay belt in the back seat can reduce accidents...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisi Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 On Tuesday, April 04, 2017 at 3:59 PM, khunPer said: Thanks (my post was with little humor ), found the article – "...no passenger is allowed to ride in the luggage tray of a pickup truck while travelling" – that's going to be major change for many a traveller between rural Thailand and major cities, not to mention building constructor's daily move of a load-of-workers... Completely over the top for the number of people in the back. Should be zero but there is really no alternate method to move so many to and from work etc - a limit of maybe 6 would be a reasonable compromise until such times as Thailand has systems in place and the lowly worker has their own reasonable means of transport.

johng Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Don't worry too much this stupid idea has already been U-turned or postponed till after Songkran because of Thai peoples massive opposition to it.

balo Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The idea is good but it will never work until Thailand is a modern country in the year 2200 or 2800 if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
