Quote FROM ABOVE SITE
It was just a few years ago when it was possible to purchase a driving licence without passing any test whatsoever and a lot of the licensed drivers from that period have failed to gain sufficient experience to drive safely and are still out there...
ARE insurance company's thinking we are going to pay for thier mistake again
Surley insurance company's should give westerner's 50 % discount ... And all these insurace company's are western ones Check it out
When you have a accident here you have to pay 500 baht for every panel on a car if you hit a thai we have to pay 1000 baht check it out if a motorcycle hits you the Police will try like hell to make out it's your fault and you have the insurance agent there ( he will not help you only the Police and then he will help you to make a claim that it's your fault and your premium goes up and it does belive me ! even if you are stationary and someone hits you! do not sign nothing in police station have phone Numbers for KFC/PIZZA Company/Burger King/MacDonals in your phone if you have GPS good idea too! you can Order food delivered to Police station .... Be prepared for about 4 hours keep cool they will then understand you know how the system works ( do not let your loved one rule you may leave earlier but she may make you sign documents that not good for you via insurance and you pay when your policy goes up !!!! WHO is she PROTECTING.... all big fast food delivery services call centre's have English Section ......
If the Police stop you a want a breath test !!!
1 ask them to blow into it FIRST to check that you can see it's working properly.
2 the nozzel on the machine they do not have cover's so refuse HIV possability.
3 be sure to pull of the road pavement ok dirt OK ( Tanon/soi ) no no no if you are off the road it is only an Offence if you are checked if your vechicle is on the road/street when you are checked Know the Law use it for your avantage Thai's do!!!! keep cool tell the loved one not to speak !!! trouble if she does!
