Road Safety warning
By Casper | April 27, 2008
It is with sadness that I write this, I’ve had news this morning that a friend of mine who I met in Pattaya, Thailand has passed away today after a serious road traffic accident.
Yes, he was probably drunk and yes, he was riding a motorbike … obviously, this is one of the combinations that is most likely to result in a death. It’s virtually impossible to get adequate insurance for exactly this reason.
That said, I’m not seeking forgiveness or sympathy for my friend, but only seek to pass on the ‘commonsense’ warning that this isn’t something that only happens to people we read about in the paper. It happens to people we know, people we love and, if we do this ourselves, it will eventually happen to us.
Alcohol and motorised vehicles do not mix, we know this when we are sober, why can’t we appreciate this when we are drunk?
Please, enjoy a drink, but make use of the many motortaxi’s and tuk tuk’s in town, your life or a few dollars ….. “up to you”.
R.I.P my friend.
