Do you leave notes on the windows of poorly parked cars

Hello Siam Sam! Maybe it would be fun to start a driving thread in BBQ Pit.

Out here it’s usually easy to distinguish Bangkok drivers from rural drivers, however. Some rural drivers are so under-confident they even drive slowly down the middle of a 2-lane road (safest place!). Bangkok drivers tend to be over-confident and travel at speeds suggesting they think they’re in some Nintendo car-racing game.

In a way, one can’t blame BKK drivers for driving quickly once they get out of the city. I wonder if many get on the Expressway and drive aimlessly just to relieve tension! (Fortunately taxis always ask customer before getting on the for-pay Expressway; I just say “No thanks” and tip nicely if the taxi drives sanely.)

It’s not just cars. My friend up in Roi Et says he cannot at certain times go to the local Tesco Lotus or Carrefour’s or whichever hypermarket they have there, because of all of the yokels who have apparently never even seen a shopping cart before and push and park them like they do their vehicles. Sounds like he’s susceptible to shopping-cart rage.
