Hello All,
Rob, I was in Thailand March this year. I must say that I was very impressed with the drivers in Thailand, yes there were some idiots but by and large with the traffic and the shear number of vehicles (and by that I mean push carts too) on the road I don't think I saw one accident, and the taxis, I don't think I really saw one that had damage on it. After being in Bangkok I saw to never complain about Sydney traffic again.
On the subject of speed, its a known fact that in the NT when they didn't have speed limits on the majority of roads they had less accidents. Also the roads there aren't as good for the speeds people drive, but the accident rate and road toll are far less, meaning that the roads aren't the problem, its the idiots on them.
