If they dont care about some pedestrians death on their conscience I doubt an extra few baht on a fine will make them more wary.
I don't think it's just Pattaya where you need to look right, left, right... 95% of those living in Isarn villages won't even possess a driving licence
I remember paying for the wife's driving test. Didn't realise at the time the 5000 baht was for the bribe.
It started raining on her test and she didn't even know how to turn the fukkin wipers on but passed with flying colours
That new maximum 4000 baht fine will be for running over a hiso.
It'll only be a few hundred baht for mowing down a soi dog or a farang
