overherebc Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 6 minutes ago, irwinfc said: in thailand? absolutely! Sounds stupid I know but when driving in BKK nowadays if I stop at a set of lights I spend time playing or seeming to play with my radio etc and don't make eye contact with any other driver. May sound a bit extreme but it's got to the stage where you have no idea what kind of weapon the other driver has to hand and is capable of using at a seconds notice and will use with any self perceived insult ie looking at them. Not a case of being a coward, just self preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad isn't it. When I was an uncouth youth back in UK I'll admit we did have some 'road races' but, the big difference was at the end of it. It ended up with comparing the add ons, carbs, free flow exhausts ignition systems, wheels, tyres and bla bla bla. Nobody wanted to stab anyone because their car wasn't quite as fast bla bla bla. Then again most of grew up with parents who were not adverse to issuing a slap on the ear if we did something stupid or wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps nobody does it better or more often than a misjudged poorly educated Thai ego.

Daveyh Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Every day occurrence here sadly ...... police do nothing, government do nothing. Court judges are too lenient & the fines do not fit the serious crimes that are committed here etc etc ..... loss of face just seems to turn most Thai's into a vicious individual intent on murder ...... male & female! It's a real joke to come here thinking that everyone here is happy just because they smile a lot ...............it's called "Land of Smiles" that's true, as there are several types, some of the smiles are truly sinister so be aware of this ...... fact!

catman20 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 15 hours ago, HHTel said: Agreed but also fine the Honda driver for using the 'hard shoulder' preventing any emergency vehicles access to accidents etc. It's common here to use the hard shoulder when the road is 'full'! No excuse for the pick up driver's actions though. i dont think we know, maybe the Honda driver broken down, car had problems thats why on the hard shoulder or false onto the hard shoulder by the fruit cake ?

0815 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 14 hours ago, Thaidream said: I totally agree with the poster who indicated the main problem is that Thais are stressed out. The traffic is horrid; takes forever to get anywhere. The cost of living has continued to rise while salaries stagnate. People who work do not get enough sleep and many have turned to drugs to stay awake. There is no real way to release some of the stress and so many people are really pissed off at the Government; their lives and the hopelessness of it all. It's the same reason Donald Trump was elected President in America, but in Thailand there is no way to blow off the steam except in violent outbursts when they lose control. Really ? I know some guys here who are never stressed out, no traffic jam, pockets full of daddie's money, not interested in any political stuff. Their favourite hobbies are their big sponsored cars and bikes, drinking and party. But they lose control very very easy ! Now please explain! What's the excuse for THEM???
