But this is the same old story we are talking about every year -- seven dangerous days injury and body count, road safety measures, booze ban and so forth. The Accident Prevention Network has kept data regarding accidents, injuries and death toll during Songkran's seven dangerous days in the past years. More than 440 people died from road accidents during Songkran. There were almost 3,500 cases of road accidents reported with over 3,650 people injured. Every year the government shows new control efforts and issues a new set of road safety regulations to save people.
