connda Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Never happen. "Must get somewhere quick quick!!!" Thai drivers seem dead set on killing more people on the road each day than the entire number of Covid deaths. The slaughter will continue unabated. Noul will just assist in helping Thai drivers cull the herd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 They just don't get it at all; i've tried explaining to Thai relatives about how to drive in different conditions but they just give me dumb looks and shrug their shoulders. They are happy to rely on lucky charms ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Let them continue to cull the population. As long as they don't wipe me and mine out. Darwinism at its best. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I have taught my Thai GF to slow down in rain, and pull over to the side in a safe area and put the flashers on if it gets too heavy. It's Thai-bashing to say Thais cannot be trained to drive safely. The real problem is the training they get to qualify for a driving license is abysmal.

Give them 2 options. 1) Drive safely 2) Drive as fast as you can always. Who wins?? Nobody but they will always take number 2.????????????????????????????????????????????????

Some of it is common sense that is not followed. Training should not be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I've driven a couple Toyota pickup trucks for perhaps 20 years, in rain, snow, ice. SLOW DOWN. I've gotten a bit sideways just turning from a side road into a main road at a traffic light if it's wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this real Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Using this site to tell people to slow down or even SLOW DOWN is silly. Urging them is just as useless. Maybe the police could actually patrol the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
