In Thailand, there is also reckless and mostly drunk driving resulting in many deaths, however, after being in the Gulf for 15 years, I can safely say that driving here is more relaxing than in the Gulf mainly because there is courtesy and no horning or macho-ism...It also said that one can be shot by other drivers if he drives disturbingly, but I am not going to test that theory...
