Thread: The Stupity of these Kunts is unreal

You love your diagrams, don't you.

Reminds me of those spaces on insurance forms now I think about it.

I face that situation every fucking day, except I turn right, and the fucker still don't care

There you go - Thailand's Highway Code.

This is all that needs to be said. The Thais are NOT going to change the way they drive.

Indicator lights, when they are used at all, rarely mean what they would mean in western countries; so, when you expect Thais to understand what YOU mean by yours, you are seriously mistaken.

That said, I find that humming "There's a fuckwit on the road/His brain is smaller than a toad's" all the while I ride my little Wave here helps keep me focused.

I know they're not gonna change. But they should.

Road fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants per year

Australia 6.8
Ireland 7.8
Japan 3.85
New Zealand 8.6
Thailand 19.6
UK 3.59
USA 12.3

According to Wiki.

^^ Nah Bung, give way is to the right when driving on the left.

I think for us it is give way, no matter what. Thias have no laws in their eyes, so drivers beware.

Their stupidity, selfishness, ignorance and arrogance is the root of the problem. This coupled with no law enforcement means Thailand's roads are some of the most dangerous in the World.

You are now driving between the cars and the m/c's, going in the opposite direction. Repeat for the motor cycles. By the time you get to your turn off,you are in the clear completely on the wrong side of the road,no need to stop. If you meet someone coming out of the junction,pass them left to left side,might require going off road a bit!

Yep, perfect explanation of the norm, in Bkk too... Everyday around me house and me workplace in the centre of town.

Fully agree with this approach. I used to (still do sometimes) get upset, but then they just get nervous/upset and start driving even worse...

by tonight how many deaths on the roads?

One of the best things you see here in Phuket is with all the different farangs when the approach a junction to turn right and they turn into the wrong lane coming straight towards you the look of horror of me in my big truck coming straight at them

Do dogs count or are they a higher species, because I just hit 2 at the same time?

^ Someone will eat well for a few days.

Well guys I only posted this thread last night, I've just drove to my wifes office just after midnight and it's total carnage must be 5 bikes all over the road 20 yards from were i'm talking about, and some twat outside on his whistle

OOOH yes they can. In fact they are capable of much greater stupidity. Wait until Thailand gets a nuclear power station up and running.....

Yea but ya gotta admit that the Thai when it comes to getting something serious done they usually get it right.
Otherwise you'd see bridges collapsing and airplanes falling out of the sky on a regular basis.

A nuclear power plant will be tightly monitored by the IAEA and there will be more than a couple highly paid farang engineers in close proximity.

It ain't gonna be handled by Col Sombat and his jolly crew of cousins and in laws.
They aren't like to let these monkey brained kids anywhere near it. You can bet on it. I hope.

the old saying ..SPISSING IN THE WIND comes to mind here ,,,dont bet to much

Personally I think Thailand will build a large concrete structure for which a cement company owned by a politician's relative will get paid large amounts of money, and the fuel rods will be sold to North Korea. I doubt Thailand will ever produce electricity from a nuclear facility...there is just too much money involved for this lot to leave it alone.

Cambodia is exactly the same,they always ignore indicators.
I think it is partly because one always sees motos driving along with indicator flashing and no intention of turning.
As for lane discipline-no clue at all.
In cambodia this is the first generation who have been able to drive a vehicle.
Thnaks to the khmer rouge most city people were murdered so these monkeys in big cars and flashy notos were driving only ox carts a generation ago.
I believe that the more who kill themselves the better,got to be better for the gene pool.

On the way home last night not to late about 1am just about 100 yards on the same road I'm talking about fuking bodies everywhere about 5 bikes spread across the road and what looked like a truck, at that point is a soi coming onto the main road all the time I see people just drive straight out never stopping Happy new year to them

I often agree with you Mr Earl, but not on this point.
