from a work point of view, this makes a lot of sense.. everyone's gonna dogpile the australian bit NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. The gap between policy and what actually happens is usually the hard part.
Terrible news, thoughts with her whānau. Thailand roads are no joke eh.
This is exactly the kind of thing younger people notice quickly.. The long game matters more than a quick headline cycle.

too soon mate, have a heart
facts. always the same story. locals know to stay off those roads after rain

ffs have some compassion. not the time for 'i told you so'
anyway
prayers for the family but gotta say, hiring a scooter in a country with chaotic traffic as a tourist is just asking for trouble. seen it too many times
honestly though people need to hear it. if it saves one life worth saying
absolutely. stay safe out there people
I get the angle, but I still want to see the actual numbers behind it.. everyone's gonna dogpile the australian bit NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.
Fuck that's rough. she was a young athlete with her whole life ahead. this one cuts deep
condolences to the family.. such a sad loss. rip Jemma
yeah nah but she was with her family, so at least she wasn't alone. still bloody tragic
people act like it's all sun and smooth roads over there. Thailand's road toll is one of the worst in the world but nobody cares until it's their kid
doesn't matter how experienced you are on a bike, one patch of sand and you're done. rip
