Who said anything about blown tires happening only in Thailand?
On my taxi rides I find that they do drive fast, rarely signal, change lanes with minimal space available, tailgate etc. In the US they'd be called morons. In Mumbai they'd be called conservative.
Yes, but in Mumbai there's virtually nowhere to drive at 160 kph, so most accidents in the city are fender-benders. It's the combination of infrastructure that enables high speeds (when not jammed solid, of course)
and insane driving that makes taxis in places like Bangkok and Jakarta scary...
