RE: Rant of the Week: Road Safety in Thailand
Your story looked exactly like the one we are having here in Nigeria..
People only obey the law of the road due to the fear of the police and not because of the benefits they stand to gain if they obey them.
Helmet is even becoming forbidden where I live, hardly will you see one out of one thousand motorcycle rider using helmet.
What of seatbelt? As soon as we approach the check point, that is when your will see everyone trying to fix it and remove it after wards. This supposed not to be so, it's for our safety for crying out loud.
Nobody supposed to be reminding us before we use them.
In the picture above, look at how they packed the students together, that is very terrible, do you know how many lives are at risk if something uncalled for should just happen
Look at how they pack people together in the following pictures as well, I don't know where they were taken, but can you just emerging how they are risking their precious lives
I can only say Wow!
