THAILAND holds the ghastly record of having the highest road fatalities in the world. The statistics are shocking: 40 out of every 100,000 people on the road end up dead – an average of 2.9 persons killed every hour. 

Last year, more than 10,000 Thais were killed in accidents and six million were injured. Some 100,000 of the injured are now permanently disabled.
