    It is not only the mufflers. If one would check motorcycles carefully, you will find missing brake lights, tires worn to up to the inner carcass, broken rear foot pegs, non existing mirrors and more. As long these riding folks here in Thailand are not taught to take care of their motorcycles, and ride in a safe manner, there will be no reduction of fatalities on the roads of Thailand. The same thing applies to car drivers who are driving with their high beam and/or fog lights on, vans with worn out shocks and so on and so on. Harsh penalties and a boot should be applied everywhere. But Thailand sleeps.
