All Thai 'Instructors' do as bad a job as possible so nobody can know how to replace them. how would you feel if you taught someone how to do ANYTHING and they did it better than you?? such loss of face many oho mai dee bloodshed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 12 years of ding-free Thai driving, the odds are stacked heavily against you maintaining that status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean, I will keep on driving and riding defensively, never speeding, and use what I think is common sense, have full 1st class insurance. I believe that if you do the things I have stated, you will be about 95% safe and free of accidents, but nothing guarantees complete safety.

Horn works? Couple of weeks ago I was just starting to pull out to cross a one way, one way from my right to left, when my wife shouted stop. I stomped on the brake and a bike from the left shot across the front of the pick up. The road curved left and he came flying around the bend to my left obviously going against the flow. Can't guess his speed but it wasn't slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but if you have the car blessed by a good monk and keep a couple of amulets hanging from the rear view mirror, you could increase those odds to 99%.

A further increase could be accomplished by not limiting yourself to just 1 superstition. A quick souvenir shopping trip to Lourdes, Mekka, Stonehenge, etc will take care of that.

Most of the time now I'm riding my motorbike. Mrs Possum uses the truck. Anyway, I'm not superstitious. Anyway, what do you mean a "good" monk?

scoooooby Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 ALL - Cheers for generally putting a big smile on my face. Many tales I can totally relate too and YES I know I cannot change things and guess its easier to move at a slower pace when you have no work stress to consider but I will try to slowly turn my stress into a smile and play the traffic light game, turn the music up and laugh out loud BUT all the time keep using my 10 eyes in my head to spot the next mad pick up driver, loopy lunatic on the bike or that usual truck that drifts all over the road with not a care in the world.....You just gotta love this place! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
