Revealing numbers regarding "dangerous" 7 days

[rick44]

Here is some research done by Thailand's Scandinavian magazine – this time presented in English:

 

"7 Dangerous Days" no more dangerous than rest of year

 

The average number of daily road deaths during Songkran's "7 Dangerous Days" is 50 – based on government data for the last 10 years. The number of people who die on the roads in Thailand on an average day is somewhere between 39 and 66, depending on if you believe the government or the World Health Organization (WHO). So why the biannual hype?
