There's a very good reason for that.

It involves the knowledge that the other driver has a gun and isn't intelligent enough not to use it.

Birding it make me very sad that after 12,000klm you have not seen any prangs.
I have been in Thailand for 15 year & this year I have traveled 80,000klm, I got to see my first its not a good feeling, to see people suffering.

I can't do a day ride out of bkk, typically around 400-500km round trip of bkk without seeing at least one bus or truck or pick up recently overturned in a ditch.

Indeed. Always for show, less practical.

....and then they're all made outta shit and prices continue to climb.
And we continue to buy them.

I see that most Thai's are good and patient drivers, there are always some idiots who drive far to fast and pass when they shouldnt (some of them might be farang).

Yes Thailand has the second highest death rate on the roads but between 70 and 80% of those involve motorbikes and a fair % of those probably involve other vehicles as well. However take away the motorbikes and you take away 70%+ of road deaths.

So to get a proper perspective you either have to compare with a country with a similar motorbike density or subtract the bike deaths.

If you go out of your way to look for wreaks to take photos of you will find plenty in any country.

And the feckin somchais driving caused a big percentage of those mototrcycle accidents.

Don't forget, most motorcycles are always wrong (unless helmet cam) simply for being a motorcycle and usually a lower class person in the car driver's eyes.

Mate I've been driving here ten years and I can tell ya I've also seen absolutely zero accidents in person. I recon I'm just very very lucky.

I posted up the piks because I like them.

I've seen a few smashes after the fact .

I also consider most of the drivers to be fairly good and it's only the few retards that fook up the system.

It's too bad the Filth can't or won't shut this lot down.

It truly is a diabolical design, I recon the hire car company make some good money charging for the damage.

I must add, the little Mirage is my favorite Eco hire car. Bloody great little runner and goes like a shower of shit.

I've hired heaps of them, 17 KLM on one litre of fuel is exceptional.

I know that if i had done this damage in Perth i would of been charged top dollar to replace the complete skirt.

I had resigned myself for a nice wedge of money on returning the car to the BKK Airport.

I am ecstatic that Mrs Somchai the car inspector was thinking about Cock that morning.

I always take a ten K baht excess so i was expecting half of that to go bye bye.

Heres mad arsed somchais Lao cousin in action , sompon


Mad sompon Loves Tail gating so he can beat you to the traffic lights, All good until another sompon sticks the brakes on when he sees his favourite pho shop,

Onya sompon ya retard
