463 Dead – Seven Dangerous Days
Infamously dubbed “ Seven Dangerous Days “ and what seems like not a care in the world, this years holiday has seen an increase in deaths on the roads, 463 people have lost their lives with Nakhon Ratchasima being the most fatal district ( not surprising as I witnessed this road 4 years ago over the same period ).
This is an increase on last year which is up by 40 deaths, a grand total of 3,892 people were injured in 3,791 accidents ( will anything be done to decrease this or mai pen rai every year? )
The ever ignored problem of drink driving was the main cause, 40.4 percent of accidents caused by ignorant irresponsible people drinking and driving.
