It has been reported in the media that Thailand has the second worst road traffic deaths in the world. Having just had Songkran with its hundreds of attendant deaths, is Thailand looking for the number 1 slot?
The powers that be already know that 80 percent of the toad deaths can be attributed to alcohol, motorcycles and no helmets. Instead of rhetoric, application of the legislations already in place would halve the road toll. Let it be known that all riders without helmets will have their motorcycles confiscated and those riders over the limit in blood alcohol concentration (simple breathalyzer is all that is required) are put in jail until after Songkran is over.
