Nothing’s going to change

Re: Stricter road-safety measures promised after 4 Japanese tourists killed

I already read somewhere that the driver confessed that he fell asleep, and that is very difficult to prevent.

All of these “promised measures” aren’t going to bring back the dear nor are they going to prevent/reduce future accidents on the roads here.

“DLT director-general Sanith Phromwong said yesterday that the department would impose stricter measures...”
And these stricter measures will be enforced by the same ghosts that enforce all the other government safety and health measures. Nothing will change, but this looks good in print for those tourists who might be turned off visiting Thailand and have doubts about their 
safety after arriving here.

Higher quality amulets will be bought.

How about speedbumps every 50m on the highways?

The last speed reported on the van GPS showed it was travelling at 93kph at the time of impact, and there was no sign of braking on the road. Knew those GPS systems would be good for something. After the incidentI’m not sure they were going to save lives. Again more ‘gunna do’ from the authorities.

Good to start the day with a joke...

Really? I recall hearing the same thing for a very long time now and yet still we have daily carnage. Let’s face it, the locals are such appalling drivers, that this is going to carry on until seriously higher standards are imposed. And with the incompetence we see in everything here, I won’t be holding my breath for that to happen.

...let me translate this semi-serious message uttered by whomever in the government
Nothing will change.
These van drivers are amped up on anything they can get their hands on and will drive like the crazy men they are!
