Bikes in the tunnel

Dear Hillary,

I read that you finally got your tunnel open. Well done! And it was only three years too! I see that not only has the tunnel fixed the traffic jams, but it has also fixed the revenue section at the police station. The sign that says no motorcycles is plain enough, but in the first three days 18 of them apparently couldn’t read the sign and had to cough up 1,000 baht for the pleasure. Perhaps this is why motorcyclists feature so high in the deaths on the road?

Dear Greg,

I am all for anything to cut down the road toll, Petal, but I’m not sure that there are too many deaths attributable to tunnels. Especially ones only a few hundred meters long divided and straight. It’s not as if it were the Mont Blanc Tunnel (11 km) is it?
