The inebriated road to doom
Play
According to the Road Safety Directing Centre of Thailand, 442 people died as a result of road accidents during the “seven dangerous days” of Songkran - up a whopping 21.4 per cent from last year’s death toll of 364. Of this year’s total of 3,447 accident
Many innocent people have been killed and maimed by drunk drivers. The problem is escalating day by day. The Prayut Chan-o-cha government should do something to stop drunken people from using public roads.
Drivers who are found to be just slightly inebriated should have their licences and vehicles confiscated for good. Roads are public places where only completely sober motorists should be allowed. There should be no compromise for drunk drivers, since they pose unprecedented danger to others.
Please do something quickly and decisively on this problem.
