Normal driving in Thailand, Nong Bua Lamphu province

I always use a dash cam when I drive in Thailand, and drive very safely for several reasons. People drive very badly in Thailand. Emergency services are not so great, and many of the hospitals also. You don't want to end up in one. Traffic is crazy, even in rural provinces. You'll have oncoming traffic using your lane, and forcing you off the road, people passing when it is not safe, and the ever present motorbikes going in every direction, often the wrong way. There is very little traffic law enforcement. I actually saw cars running a red light in Bangkok and almost hitting a policeman using a crosswalk, who appeared totally unconcerned.
