stud858 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm a bit nervous when driving through intersections along Sukhumvit. One second I'm between divider lines then on the other side of intersection I'm right on top of a line and have to decide which way is safest to swerve. Still alive. Just go slow. Peace to all on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. People should take everything seriously. Live is too short to be frivolous. I live by the old saying, " laugh and you laugh alone, cry and the whole world cries with you.
