Thailand reported a higher road death rate than any other country apart from war-ravaged Libya in a report published last year (2015) by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Thailand experiences as many road deaths than other countries realize from wars. After three years in control of the nation, the Thai military seems to fail one of its primary missions - ensuring national security.

Kind of a heartless thing to say about someone who was just killed in a traffic accident that she did not cause. How exactly do you learn anything when the event being discussed kills you? Rest In Peace.

I am referring to only one aspect - road deaths. So yes, one failure.

Just keeping on topic.

There are other national aspects and other failures.

Do we not learn by others mistakes? Only a fool doesn't wear a seatbelt. Princess Diana would still be with us if she had been wearing one.

I know you love bashing the junta but that is really stretching it.. calling road deaths national security. But yes the junta is failing at it.. just like any previous government. But at least they made good changes.. can't say the same about previous governments.

 

We got rules for those minibuses now getting GPS in them and its working for many already. They were going to enforce rules about pickups too but the public preferred not to obey them and die. National outcry even here on Thaivisa that it was a tax on the poor. So they listened and did not enforce it. Seems the public likes it the way it is, because that rule would save a lot of people. In Thailand its quite simple.. easy comes before safety. We will just have to live with it.

I do not think that you are being heartless.I have said the same thing over and over again to my Thai family.

"Click,click or die" is the way I phrase it.When I am not about they choose to ignore it.It is on them now and not me.

Farewell,young lady.

+1.  Problems that took decades of corrupt leadership piled on top of centuries of a feudal culture won't be solved in my lifetime, no matter who's at the helm.

Yes.I do not understand this phenomenon.

 

Yet my 75 year old MIL from the rice paddies of Woop Woop now wears the yellow helmet that I purchased for her and automatically clicks on her seat belt when she gets in the car.Neither she nor I have been able to influence anybody else to take any form of self responsibility in respect to road safety on a personal level at all.

Say what you like, your comment was disgusting.

No way can you justify it.

Perhaps-but my MIL is one of those ultra religious old grannies that generally sustain the local village temples around here.

 

For some reason-I really do not know why-she appears to still be able to perform a rational risk assessment and assess the odds.

 

So I guess that we have to fall back on the "It won't happen to me.." line of right brained thinking which does not require any form of logical thought processing at all.

shes  dead and  most  likely wouldnt have been if she was wearing a  seatbelt.............for me that's all the justification needed.......... of course she could have survived and been horribly disfigured facially.......which im sure  would have made her really have thought about that seatbelt  then.

I suspect it's the superstitious refusal to acknowledge that bad things can happen. By buckling up they are acknowledging the possibility of an accident, and that in itself probably makes them uncomfortable.

That plus the macho thing for the men. I once buckled up in a taxi in Columbia and the driver gave me such a dirty look I thought he was going to thump me.

Ah yes-I see where you are coming from.Two very good points which I never even considered.By performing a risk assessment you are acknowledging the presence of risk.

 

By buckling up you are questioning their driving skills and therefore causing them to lose face.

 

Thank you, a couple of riddles satisfactorily answered on the eve of my departure from Thailand.
