Whilst I don't disagree that many are unnecessary (I love mine, but it isn't necessary); I don't understand why they make driving even more dangerous.ahandpatsy wrote:can't believe the amount of totally unnecessary huge pick ups and 4 x 4 in hua hin these days
no need for them at all, makes driving even more dangerous
It is not the vehicle that is dangerous, it is the person driving it - many with minimal or no training at all.
Exactltly the same can be said for motorcycles, small cars, buses and lorries. Why single out large 4x4 or pick-ups?
IMHO it is motorcycles that are the real danger. In particular at this time of year with the additional holiday idiots on the road. No training, no licence - their only qualification is they are on holiday. Thais may fit the first 2 criterion (no training, no licence) but they are 'consistently' bad, and you can usually anticipate what happens next. The holiday warriors see bad driving/normal rules being broken, and assume anything goes.
