Why Are Thais Usually the Nicest Pe

Why Are Thais Usually the Nicest People in the World, But Behind the Wheel of a Car They're Scary? - Every Thai I know is polite, kind and respectful. That is, until they get behind the wheel of a car, and then they become the rudest people on the planet. They don't stop for you on a pedestrian crossing (nobody does, including the police!), when it's pouring rain Thais continue to sit in their nice, dry cars while making you (who are walking!) wait to cross the road, and then they'll drive through a huge puddle right next to you and soak you from head to foot without even stopping to think. How is it that the nicest people in the world can suddenly become the rudest?
