A cursory look over some stats reveals the following:
Road Fatalities per 100,000 vehicles
Australia: 8
Thailand: 118
Granted that is only one stat, and stats can really be made to say anything you wish, but as they go, that is a rather dire one.
Regardless of anything else, that is 110 more families that lose a loved one, and I doubt they will find the Darwinian interpretation a compelling or comforting one.
All I really wanted to highlight is that issues like this are not so black and white as they may appear, and that laws that are there, even laws I don't agree with (such as, for the record, prohibition on lane splitting and seatbelt enforcement) may well be preventing 110 families per 100,000 vehicles some pain.
And Whizz, I did mention earlier that I am talking about laws that don't impact on others. Rape and murder generally do, as a rule. Sorry for boring you. Next time I will simply agree with everyone, lol and post a smiley.
