Mandatory 2 hour "how to drive, laws" with video and teacher before license is issued

Education

Driver consideration of others on the road

Enforcement of laws
wont happen

Yep just like in the west where there's no accidents
Is there any reason a car needs to go 200kph?

OK, I'll bite. Why won't it happen?

Is there any reason why a car capable of speeds between 0 and 200kph can’t be operated at the speed appropriate for the situation?

How often do you see any old car capable of 100kph, being driven at 30kph around a car park? It’s not speed that’s the problem. It’s speed in the wrong bloody place.

Tuol Sangke market has all these fucking morons sitting on their motos, engine running, as they meander through, doing the grocery shopping. Often too fast, more interested in their next purchase, and not caring about the small child that they almost hit. I especially enjoy giving them a good tap on the head as they go by. And then there’s the shits who race through.

Pavements should be for people to walk on. Not morons to park on, forcing people to walk in the traffic.
Roads are for vehicles to drive on.

That’s my initial proposals for safer road design. Where do I collect my consultancy fee?

Attitude?

Seriously, I assume you mean a bad attitude. IDGAF attitude, no?

Of all the shitty driving I have seen in Asia, Thailand/Cambodia win the prize. Taiwan was a close second. Often dangerous, selfish and oblivious.

Perhaps a three-hour lecture won't solve the problem.

Meanwhile our valued visitors seem capable of crashing on a road that isn't even open yet and where presumably they were the only two cars on it

It doesn’t even have to be bad attitude. An attitude of resistance to change will do it. “We’ve always done it like that”. (A favourite saying in some folks at a previous company, yet they wondered why they were losing money)

There is a general dilligaf attitude with some. Careless, and even reckless.
There are some drivers who I believe would quite happily drive over a person if that person weren’t quick enough to get out of the way.*

In the UK, at one time at least, to be allowed to ride to school and bring a bicycle inside the school gates, you were required to do a cycling proficiency course. Some basic road awareness and safety skills.
In Cambodia, as long as you can hold the moto upright, you can ride to school on it. I was watching a girl who was just big enough to ride a moto a few days ago. Coming to a stop seemed to require an object in her path as it seemed she couldn’t operate the brake effectively. Perfectly normal.

Dhaka was one of the worst places for me, regarding traffic. Rabid baboons.
