The Thai government has enacted a law to ban drivers from the use of cellphones while behind the wheel. Hand-free devices are still acceptable under the new legislation. Most people can talk and walk at the same time, but this is not the case once they are driving a car or motorcycle. Conversations become involved, so that the driver forgets where they are.
Talking on the cellphone has supposedly outstripped drunk driving as the cause of most accidents in Thailand.
The other day I saw a woman message-texting while driving a motorcycle. Her left hand clumsily holding the gas while her right hand thumbed out the message. She was smiling like she had written the best joke in the world, until running into a roadside pile of sand. Luckily she wasn’t hurt, but yelled at the construction workers for putting the sand in the wrong place.
No one is ever to blame for their own actions.
The ‘Devil made me do it’ has been replaced by ‘I didn’t do nothing.”
My wife hasn’t caught up with the times.
I’m wrong even when I’m right because a man is never more wrong than when proving that his wife is right.
