With hindsight, he possibly feels the same way, but the initial instinct told him to do otherwise and he is, after all a copper with a job to do. Do we really want policeman who give up the moment it gets a bit difficult?

No we don't want them to give up the moment it gets a bit difficult but they should act responsibly, and as I stated previously taking the number of the tanker and notifying other police units so they could road block the tanker would have been much better do you not think ? After all a tanker is a little hard to conceal

Think what your instinctive reaction is when you're stood on a moving platform such as a train, bus or fairground ride. When it lurches you instinctively grab hold of something to steady yourself.

 

The policeman was stood up on the step when the truck driver took off. He would have reacted the same way and by the time he thought 'this isn't a good idea' it was too late to jump off. Well done Sgt Maj Mana for having on in there.

I hear what you are saying but there again a tanker does not accelerate like a car, in my opinion he should have jumped off as soon as it started to move

How in God's name do they manage to crash head on? The standard of driving here beggars belief, it isn't just at Songkhran either!

Brake failure .................

Why not just let them study and gain education, plenty of time for the ridiculous war of religion!!!!

Thanks for that, but it was only an off the cuff statement that alcohol was not involved it did not state that tests were carried out therefore my statement sill stands.

His visit has created widespread interest in the southern provinces around Ranong where there is already interest in growing marijuana for medical purposes, reported INN.

I can believe the first part of this e.g. "there is already interest in growing marijuana" but possibly for other purposes & best of luck to them ...................LOL

Do they come with crash barriers at the base .................LOL

Two points for consideration, where is all the added electricity coming from, secondly Thailand does not have a good safety record when it comes to electricity

CCP don't care & the Thai government will not or cannot stand up to China - the end result is inevitable ........

What ever happened to using proper busses to transport people - Too expensive I suppose which would eat into the profits ....
