For those of us who are mere mortals. Whose know than flesh and bone can't win against metal, bitumen and cement.... there is one thing we can do, not to share the same fate. Just pull over and let them pass.....they have a deadline with death....here is no talking them out of it.

Poor plant I hope it's okay ?. You know your sitting there minding your own business as plants do and boom out of nowhere a man sticks the head into you. Do they have no respect

I hope he's not vegetarian, or the revenge will be a bit painful.

Looks like something that did a hard re-entry from space.

Will this passenger be prosecuted for leaving the scene of an accident ..

I love speeding, but Phuket is simply not the place. 

In Phuket 5km/h above the speed limit is already too much, in fact they should lower the speed limit in that place. Roads are awful, and crowded.... 

If you wanna speed go to Don Muang Tollway in Bangkok at night, where there's literally nobody and have fun, if you fly off the tollway then it's your own problem. That's what I do, but never in Phuket.

The only thing that would help to slow down these „pedal to the metal“ characters is to refit cars here with solid rubber tires and suspensions welded to the car frame.
