American in Thailand

My wife & I are retired living in Bangkok, she was born in Bangkok but lived in the US for 40 years and has now moved home to be with her family. We are both pretty well accepted, and travel a lot with in the country & outside the country. For me driving is the hardest, in America driving is very easy and relaxing, here it is stressful& not easy when no one follows the laws. It is more like a video game.  We bought a new car, but someone was nice enough to slam into the back of it while he was texting on his phone, the only thing good that came out of the accident was that the other person car was totaled, but do you think that will change his driving habits?  Not likely. So whenever I can I let someone else drive & I close my eye's and say a prayer.
