No see light! No see truck! A blind person with a driver license driving her blind friend home? Yeah, stranger things have happened.

A bit different to the news story of the 2 Western women doing a space walk from the International Space Station.

Just when you think it's nice quiet on the roads at that time of the morning, it can be just as dangerous here people out drinking all night

I normally drive to work (via the gym) around 5.30 am & its madness coming over Patong hill and near to Bangla......

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.

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.

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.
