What is this fatal attraction between Thai drivers and concrete poles?

must have been travelling at extremely high speed to do that much damage on impact.  The car is completely unrecognizable

12:10am. Time for the favorite pastime: "hit the pole".

No points to win though.

Sorry, I can't feel for those (drunken?) racers.

Good he didn't harm others.

Alcohol, speed and mobile phones......together they can create a form of magnetic attraction it seems........

 

Oh....plus a complete disregard for their own lives or anyone else's life.
