On the eve of yet another festival period on the nation's roads, a debate is under way over road safety. The discussion is about speed limits.
The old saying has it that "speed kills", but growing evidence and public opinion seems to indicate that it's far more nuanced than that.
Road and highway speed limits are not going to change for the long Songkran weekend and the familiar "seven dangerous days". But all indications are that the debate is likely to continue.
