The only reason that there are not a lot more wrecks and deaths is because people run off on the shoulder when confronted with a passing car in their lane and hit the shoulder rather that the oncoming car.
Motorcycles have no right of way according to Thai drivers and therefore more deaths, but they mostly run the shoulders anyway and if a car is going faster than the motorcycle they come up along side and force you over onto the shoulder or down under the pickup, it makes no diff to the driver, today I was forced off at 130 KPH this side of Phetchabun.
There have been 6 people killed within 1/4 KM of my house up on the hyway because people were making an illegal right turn thru a safety zone in front of a police box in the last year and 2 big steel light standards knocked down because of people stopping in the traffic lane to make that same turn right where the divider ends and also the 2 lanes merge into one., But they don't enforce safety zones at that box. In one of em 3 people on a MC slowed to make the illegal turn and a pickup ran up on em and drug em 200 meters up the road under his pickup, Yes they were all dead.
So much for the 2004 letter of law from Toxin
