IDP Question
Many years ago in Australia they combined the car and motorcycle licence into the one licence. They were both tested and verified separately, and you could get one and then get the other added. It makes sense to me that they should both be separate - you cannot combine a truck and car licence together - so why a bike and car. I guess this might be a reason why some people who actually have a 'bike licence' but have not actually ridden a bike for decades, get into trouble quickly here in Thailand. Speaking of trouble. Has anyone else seen the youtube vid of some random that has been living in Thailand since 1991 stated that the best thing about Thailand is being able to ride his motorbike everywhere in the rural areas with freedom (I guess he means over the speed limits). I must say that it is so good to be able to drive in Thailand without the constant fear of a $300-$1000 fine for going 5-20Ks over the limit, and therefore no need to be constantly checking what the speed limit is. If I was going to ride those roads, I would definitely use a 'real' bike (min 900ccs) and stay ahead of all the Thai crazies - but it would still be a negative - because instead of always watching for speed limits and cops with radar, I would be constantly watching for Somchais doing something stupid and/or dangerous. Last time we were passed by 4 big bikes in a group - IMO that is the only way I would do it - and with loud exhausts so they can hear us coming. -

News Forum - Thai-tanic turmoil: British retirees escape Thailand prison drama
True - and those of us who fail to learn that reality, always pay a price. IMO the English couple never learned or accepted that they are not 'correct' even though the law/codes said they were. Negotiate was their best strategy, and it always will be in Thailand. -
