Hazards that spell disaster

» We must hope that the dramatic spate of road accidents on the highways to the North and Northeast this week were not an indicator of what to expect in this year's fast approaching run-up to Songkran. No one doubts that there will be fatalities and that most of them will involve motorcyclists and be fuelled by alcohol abuse. But our attitude to road safety must remain positive and reflect the fact that loss of life and mangling of bodies during national celebrations can be avoided if we do what we must. And that should begin with a huge investment in compulsory driver education that starts in school, combined with strict enforcement and upgrading of existing laws and the introduction of specialised new ones.
