Oh don't get excited, it's just a red light

If the statistics are accurate, then half of all accidents happen in Bangkok, while the other half accidents happen in the rest of Thailand.  Must be a lot of minor fender benders in Bangkok. When it comes to deaths, injuries, and damage totals, the provinces outnumber Bangkok by a huge majority.    Comparing statistics available for fatalities per 100,000 population, Thailand was ranked second in 2008, fourth in 2010.  But if you look at those same statistics in 2010, fatalities per 100,000 motor vehicles Thailand' ranking drops down to 89th place. Source  Any way you look at it driving in Thailand is dangerous to your health. Dogs, cats and cows have equal rights to the roads. Many drivers are multitasking, let's consider daydreaming a task.    Hazardous encounters are a daily occurrence.  Just yesterday, after dusk, on an unlit road I narrowly avoided branches on the road.  The almost invisible branches were a highway warning signal for a broke down semi-truck which was not visible in the darkness unless you stood next to it.
