Bangkok Barry Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I don't think Thais need alcohol to impair their ability to drive, or to judge speed and distance, or to impact their ability to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 A couple of days ago, at about 4am, some friends were speeding down CFw to get a seriously ill child to hospital when they were passed by 2 mini vans having a race. The vans did stop at some lights, my friend went straight through, and was again passed by the racers further down the road. Couldn't see if the vans had passengers or not. The roads are racetracks in the early hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least if they were pi$$ed there is a chance they may not do the same sober. If sober, they will probably do the same again until they become one of the road statistics.
