Just one other thought, this whole thread is based upon the observations of a couple of participants which means is not worth much accept as the views of a couple of old curmudgeons.

Richard and all you other teachers out there, perhaps this could be a good project for the kids. Do a rough statistical analysis of traffic accidents in Thailand against those of a US state of comparable size and population density. I did a quick search on Google and found those for New York State, I am sure others are available.

The big disparity they will find is the lack of pedestrians, cyclists and motor cyclists which figure in the Thai statistics heavily but I am sure these can be factored in/out accordingly.
