  Unfortunately, they never do learn as can be seen in the number of deaths caused by road accidents every Songkran. When you can clearly see a pedestrian throwing a bucketful of icy water into the face of an on-coming motor-cyclist, (as I have actually witnessed), the action itself speaks volumes for the mentality of such people.
