Wheather conditions and capable speed incl health of eyesight - go hand in hand - all 3 - logically .

My experience in Thailand is , that this is not the case here and whatever you do however you move you always have to be aware that the worst could happen taking part in Thai traffic .

Blind people driving motorbikes , people not giving you the way , people reversing on motorways or parking on motorways without anyy warning signs .

This can end very bad for anyone , even if you are aware of this .

I was very lucky 3 times , thats enough .
