Your report on the horrific double-vehicle accident in Chon Buri with 25 deaths should prompt a national day of mourning, since Thailand continues to have one of the highest per-capita vehicle accident rates in the world! The report implies that an increase in accidents and deaths is an inevitable result of more vehicles on the roads and more people travelling. It points to the possible negligence of the van driver, but says nothing about the irresponsibility of the van company for requiring its driver to work excessive hours, nor the likelihood that many of the pickup passengers must have been outside the protection of the cab.
