P100 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 When will Thais learn in a fckn school in classes in many hours of lessons how to drive? The whole country needs to be educated in real driving schools. Not just show a grabage video of accidents. How incompetent are those in charge? Nothing will improve until rules are not tought in schools with real examination and massive enforcement by not corrupt police. Shame in you Thailand for so many failures. A fifth world country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general population that votes for governments that don't prioritise road safely. Is there a government or anyone in Thailand capable of effecting the sweeping change required to improve road safety? It requires a fundamental shift in attitudes from the top down in all levels of government right through to policing and down to the noodle seller in the street - it requires a complete cultural shift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to the fuel will be plenty of old engine oil and old cooking oil which normally goes into the drains aka sewers. Still there is an up side, the rats and cockroach numbers will have been reduced 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Don't blame the lorry driver or the company he works for or the police etc. etc. Blame every Thai that thinks this is not their problem, which is almost all of them. If the people don't care, why should those in power care? Pity Buddha didn't have some wise words about safety. A few Baht spent on road safety would be far more "lucky" than spending them on yet another temple but not as profitable for the monks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a wake-up call anyone wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TERMINATOR3AB Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 No police enforcement roads rules ...Police are paid a pittance have no motivation ...I see some try but as a whole ... no interest No driver education Unroadworthy vehicles Over crowded roads... Many drivers not even have a driver licence My wife family have 10 drivers with vehicles.... 3 no registered and 5 no licences .... seems the norm in her area Can only assume Thailand as a whole is similar? Answer? Is none .... will never change only get worse ..that is Thailand Road carnage is greast for Tourism if it ever starts up again (apart from China who do not care about road deaths to Thai,s) Good Luck Thailand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most traffic collisions worldwide. They don't call them accidents anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
