    Your replies frequently make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    Like you haven't really read what you think you're replying to.

    It's not often that LT posts something too complicated for someone.

    This is me in this video, driving in Pattaya. So first, dont say i have no experience. Second, if I drove like this in North America, there would be a flood of 911 calls and a mob behind me with basball bats. But in Thailand, Im just one of the Thai's going for a spin. I even get a courtesy honk at one point.

    I had some Thai guy give me the finger. He didn't like that I opened my door so he couldn't cut in.

    Well unexpected to say the least. The dick move was trying to weasel in when there was no space.

    Every day I see red on the motorway.

    Some dumb fuck in the RH lane going slow I will flick the high beams, if that don't work I put on the high beams, if that dont work I move closer and ride the horn, if that don't work I give em a gentle nudge.

    Ive notice many vehicles that travel the motor also own hand guns.

    The Meth One's Fuck The Best !!

    Last week I was on a trial run with my newly purchased first wheelchair.
    My wife watched as I crossed from the disabled bays in Robinson's car park to the Tops entrance ramp.
    While struggling to power myself with my arms, I was forced to stop by a large SUV which had no intention of slowing down or stopping for me.
    I told the driver what I thought of him using my best parade ground voice.
    Rather than take my side, my wife scolded me for being impolite.......
    And Relax.........

    Where have you been driving in Thailand. Pattaya is not representative of my driving in Sakon, which is different to Udon.
    In the rural areas of Sakon there are many pops with motors bought by sons/daughters. They drive without licence and rudimentary instruction. The good news is they are relatively easy to spot, meandering along at low speed.

    We then have the drunks, often young adults, driving with foot to floor and swerving around cars at breakneck speed. We avoid these like the plague but have seen them jump the meridian and plough into innocent motorists on the opposite side.

    Next are those returning from market with overloaded pickups...I mean to the point the front wheels are barely touching the ground. I've seen a few of these broken in half by the load, others in the ditch after being blown off the road or unable to steer round a bend.

    The worst though are the pissed up drivers that ferry school kids. Had one fly off the road and land 3/4 up a tree killing 4 schoolgirls from neighbouring village.

    They drive efficiently to their death...

    Mine also, she knows what a bunch of psychotic nut jobs many Thai's are, I was cured of all symptoms of road rage when I upset a fellow motorist who proceed to chase me with a handgun out of the window for about 50k on highway 2 heading towards Korat, wife said "told you"
    I was happy my vehicle was faster than his

    It is legal here to pass on the left. Not very often, but I do occasionally. Much easier and less hassle. BTW Fastest lane on the motorway is usually the left lane.

    Maybe something was lost in translation and she was worried about you. Bright side, benefit of the doubt and all . . .

    Are we supposed to be impressed? How old are you?

    I didn't see anything that I would expect road rage but I did see things that I would consider increased chances of an accident...

    Personally, driving or riding, I assume I am invisible and others can't see me unless I get eye contact and they stop.

    I see that the Thais drove soooo fast and efficiently ... but you still managed to overtake all the vehicles you came across. Amazing.

    Always having security front and rear I had to look up "road rage".

    We are now trialling a pair of these. Only thing is the old ladies in the village are never aware of what's going on behind them, nor do they care.

    The local police showed some interest but when informed they could borrow them when they weren't needed by us they went away happy.

    "Iraqi security forces unveil remote-controlled vehicle dubbed 'al-Robot' with machine gun and rocket launcher turret."

    Road rage. Do you get it ?-al-robot-iraqi-machine-gun-vehicle
    +

    All terrain, submersible, what more would a driver need. The rockets come in handy when meeting elephants on the jungle trails.

    No road rage problems at all and the Thai and Asian orders are piling up.

    I was in a hurry. That's the thing in Thailand , if someone is in a hurry , they are allowed to blow by everyone else without foul

    Sheer volume of traffic is the culprit. Making everyone pussy footing white knucklers doesn't prevent all accidents. It just makes people get more distracted behind the wheel. Which causes accidents.

    In Thailand , the speed makes it unprofitable to get distracted behind the wheel.
