14-year-old girl dies after being transported in a pickup truck

Thailand means: land of the free. They do not let themselves be held back by any form of rules or sense of responsibility. If you want to drive very fast when you feel like it (or have no idea that you are doing this) then you just do it even if this can result in the death of your own daughter (or other people) . Buddha apparently wanted it that way. Very sad this way of thinking, stricter legislation will unfortunately not change this in my opinion. Fortunately, not every Thai has this attitude, but there are quite a few who think this way (see the traffic accident statistics…..)

I recently touched on the “lacquer of rules” in the company of a few Thais.
I was assured that everything is “mai pen rai” except money matters.
It was immediately mentioned again that Thailand is proud to be a free country and has never been occupied by another country, an occupier who will immediately impose rules.
In Thailand, rules are flouted, they said. Just look: people drive without a helmet or against the traffic. Pays the fine after which the cap is tapped.
I was assured that there will never be a government that can take away the Thai's freedom.
The death of every human being is already known at birth, my wife says.
Of course, this also applies to the 14-year-old girl, she says.
Very sad,

Your wife knows the tricks of the trade. It is mainly practical thinking.
People drive for a long time on the left as well as on the right lane. They overtake both left and right..
A very expensive car is rarely if ever stopped. If an agent makes the mistake of doing this anyway, he is guaranteed to be severely beaten.
An acquaintance of ours was once a colonel in the army..Breaked all the rules..Only knew him and was perplexed.
Resigned as a general, .. Still ignores all parking bans, overtakes where not allowed, etc.
Have to laugh at the Traffic Police.
Gives them a bottle of Scotch on New Year's Day, which he still has too much of.
