Re: Laotian girl cut in half by speeding Porche
The point I am making is this is Thailand.. it really doesn't matter how well you can drive, there is always the risk of some bugger coming screaming out of a soi without looking giving the best driver no time to react. Agreed, to be honest my car won't do 140 ................... ( which is why I w...

Re: Laotian girl cut in half by speeding Porche

Re: Speed cameras/speed limit signs
The govt have tightened up a lot on getting licenses now in an effort to increase road safety standards. They still have a long way to go but it is a move in the right direction, the biggest problem on the roads is the lack of enforcement of the many road laws that do exist by the police who prefer ...

Re: An era of decent affordable bikes for LOS
