jouec 178 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 If I asked a taxi driver to slow down in my country they would tend to listen. If they didn't I would be able to contact the company or the police and action would be taken. Fat chance over here, just a torrent of abuse Link to post Share on other sites

There is more chance of seeing a flock of flying pigs. I seem to remember that there has already a suggestion to take these minivans off the roads, but until the authorities learn the expression " Actions speak louder than words " then these dangerous minivan drivers will be free to carry on killing and injuring hundreds of people every year.

Many of the Thai passengers also complained the driver was rude, bad mannered and had they had been overcharged 150 baht for the journey. ...but never complained so much about the dangerous driving and risk of death? Hence my unsympathetic post in another, minivan related tragedy thread. The locals make they're travel choices solely based on budget and expediency... and every time they get out of a minivan unscathed, they make the little invisible inner wai to whatever deity they reckoned was looking out for them, carefully note the minivans rego number to share the last 2 or 3 digits with their fellow, bi-monthly, good luck hunters.

richard_smith237 27,289 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 It is these fools who kill people... Ultimately they are murderers... This guy needs to be taken off the road immediately. I fear the DLT will save face by giving him a small fine, he will give an apology and go back to trying to kill people with his dangerous and careless driving - no one will learn, the consequences will continue to be so insignificant the incentive for improved safety will continue to be absent.
