Airbagwill Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 As this has had little or no effect for over 20 years, one is left wondering what the police think they will achieve - it has been categorically shown to have no significant effect, might it not be time to try something else, or is this just a bi-annual ritual the police re expected to do?

Airbagwill Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It is also worth bearing in mind that the death figures over NY & Song Khran are usually slightly LOWER anyway, due to the make up of the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advice is excellent, the Photo is well done, however I do not see people wearing helmits, I see babies on Bikes, I see crazy young men speeding down narrow sois on souped up loud bikes (a recipe for disaster waiting to happen)I see people driving fast that never stop for a pedestrian crossing , people that do not know roundabout rules. People trying to force their way through narrow sois and blocking them. I don't see many police on the road, nor do I ever see them stop bikes with no helmit, only now and then for lunch money.

dallen52 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Ok, maybe I'm not the brightest tool in the shed, but... Isn't this the law??? NOT a recommendation. His recommendations are not to speed, not to drive in the wrong direction, not to violate traffic light control, use a safety belt, carry a driver’s license, don’t pass other vehicles in unlikely spots, don’t get drunk driving, wear a motorcycle crash helmet, drive a motorcycle in a safe manner. The WHOLE police force is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Who are the two unfortunate guys in the campaign photo? the one with the empty beer bottle the other who's steering wheel has broken off, he has been abducted by some alien creature with a dogs lead. its like something from "Playschool", I'm looking through the square window. Who are the creative police advisers? Go to the top of the class and you can give out the milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder what they might take seriously. About thirteen years ago i had a serious motorbike accident. I had no recollection of the accident itself. I went to the police station to request a copy of the accident report from their log. The guy on the desk found the report, read it and laughed. According to the log I had been reported as a fatality - not a causality, which he found hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning turning from Soi Khao Noi left onto Suk road. Approached turn and looked to my right to check traffic at that very moment a young girl on scooter near ran into my front guard, she was looking at her telephone. Missed me thank goodness but did take out an orange witches hat that was placed behind a small truck parked in front of the 7/11... not sure how she missed the truck either but am damn sure she went home to clean the excrement from her panties. 100% sure she will still be using her phone on the scoot again, next she will take herself out and some poor other innocent.

P100 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Did they catch those two fellows and present them to the media, as usually happens? Or are they two police colonels smeared with red colour? Can't just all of them take of the uniform and apply Indian colours on their chest ?

ParkerN Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Again? Oh yes, it's about that time again. I saw a terrible accident on the road today, a young woman dead on the road and her motorcycle wrecked. Just a smear where her head had once been. No helmet in sight, perhaps it would not have helped. 20 metres away was the sugar cane double-bogey truck she had collided with. My wife threw up in the car. I confess it's very hard not to feel a sense of loss sometimes; if not for her, then for her family; they thought she was coming back home. Was drink involved? I don't know, but Thai driver education was definitely involved, one way or another. On the way home I came across an 8-year-old riding his Mum's motorcycle. No helmet, obviously. Busily preparing for the next chapter in the story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it will be another slaughter on the roads and the cops will be sitting in their crib rooms playing cards lol Loved the advice Thais should carry their License with them when driving Good advice but lots of Thai drivers dont have a license so its a bit hard to follow that advice and driving up the wrong way another cracker I might advise that Thai driver i nearly had head on with the other day they were driving up the wrong side of the street haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
