Road accidents kill 86 in first 2 days of holidays

Police say 474 road accidents killed 86 people and injured 885 between Friday and Saturday, the first two days of the so-called "seven dangerous days".
The road toll is expected to rise further over the coming days.

Yesterday, the Road Safety Centre released statistics from road accidents reported on Friday and Saturday only.

Drunk driving and speeding were the major causes of accidents during the opening days of the festive period, according to Department of Probation director-general Ruenvadee Suwanmong-kol, who chaired yesterday's press conference.

Reports say 37 per cent of road accidents resulted from drunk driving and 23 per cent from high-speed driving; while 81.5 per cent of road accidents involved motorcycles. Most of the motorcycle casualties were not wearing a helmet.

Yep,I see........

Conclusion :

Is this a simple issue of development? Asbestos, including white asbestos or chrysotile has been banned for use in most industrialized, developed countries. The goverment of Thailand (Public Health Ministry) wants to move the position of the country regarding asbestos in line with what has happened in Western countries. Part of Thai Industry wants to stay put, and keep on using the substance because it is cheaper.

While replacing old tiles and construction materials containing asbestos, costs a lot of money, it will of course turn out to be a major business opportunity for producers of tiles (most of whom are now complaining about the higher production costs of asbestos-free materials).
