What's up with that pic for this article??? Bizarre pandering

I don't see any fingers pointing at him in the pics.... Seems that they might not have the right guy!

If you ever been to Thailand you'll know hitting potholes, debris, cats, dogs, police offices etc doesnt necessarily make a driver stop. in the article his act was praised as commendable and, yes, his reaction was responsible and commendable As I said, I agree with you as to the roads and obstacles. My original comment had nothing to do with road conditions or about stopping or not because of hitting something unknown. I'll repeat it here - "It is a "commendable act" to behave in a normal responsible way of showing respect to human life? Wow.... that says a LOT about the culture😟 Sadly, I'm not surprised to read that." So... apparently he didn't know that he hit a person, then upon realizing he hit a person, he stuck around instead of fleeing the scene. I still fail to see any relevance to road conditions. The point is that he stayed on the scene after knowing that he hit someone and this being lauded as praiseworthy. Of course it is a responsible and correct thing to do. I have no idea why, as I said originally, behaving in a responsible way of showing respect to human life should be considered worthy of praise i.e., commendable, as you said. Perhaps we have different understandings of the word "commendable"? I understand it to be something describing an action that goes above and beyond mere responsibility. Perhaps something courageous or high risk to oneself for the benefit of another. In this case, it is regular responsibility and what should be a normal show of respect for human life. Negatively, it could be looked at as self-protection because if one fled the scene, it would be criminal. Either way, positive or negative, it doesn't fit the understanding I have of "commendable".

Is there somebody who thinks that is the case??🙄 The context of this feed is - Thailand. Although, I never said or implied anything of the sort anyway....

He might want to rethink more than just his drinking habits. He might want to review his relationship with his wife, who just left him there, lying in the path of vehicles! She may need a rethink on her drinking habits too? The whole thing is unreal! Kudos for the driver? For showing signs of being a normal human, concerned for another human being's life? I guess I don't see anything exemplary about that.... It is good, of course. It is always good to do the right thing. Just not sure why doing the right thing evokes praise or congratulatory responses....

Yes, you're right. There could always be more to the story that one may not think of. With the little information supplied, it is still difficult to imagine a reason for not protecting an unconscious human being. I don't think there's anything commendable about sticking around though. That should be the norm and completely shocking and inhumane to not do so. But, of course, I know that this is unfortunately, bizarrely, considered to be some sort of unattainable ideal to expect that.

Speaking of luck... I wonder if anyone would buy a lotto ticket with that driver's plate number?😅 I got that backwards! The lucky one was the Swede! Maybe his birthday would have the good numbers?🤪

Yes, I agree with you as to the roads and obstacles, but not sure what that has to do with my comment...? Do you mean that he wasn't intending to be responsible by sticking around after realizing he had hit someone?

It doesn't look like he just decided to lay down in the street... but yeah, not a good idea His own wife, as well as security guards, seem to have decided to just let him stay in that dangerous place!!?? That is a shocking level of negligent behavior! So they couldn't help him up! So, drag him to a safe place or do something to protect the idiot! Park some motorcycles around him, traffic cones, chairs, whatever! And/or call the police or ambulance. You can't just leave a human being in a dangerous place like that! OMG.....

Amazingly, according to what the owner said, the car apparently accrued an extra 15,000 miles on it after the Thai police had it impounded. Hmmmmm Corruption has no bounds and the way it is exercised it truly mind-boggling.

Supposedly, something like 10 Thais were arrested. But whether or not anything happened after those arrests.... I have no idea, but of course it wouldn't be surprising if they were all let go as soon as the media crawled back into their holes.

That would take work to get a more accurate pic, like maybe 2 extra minutes of backbreaking keyboard strokes.... But just searching and taking the first random pic of the guy in the story with a Lambo was apparently all that was cared about. Typical....

They had a tracker in the car, but they didn't even keep the tracker checked and didn't know the car had left the country until it was already in Thailand! lol You'd think there'd be some sort of software tracking it and would let you know if the car left the country! Port/Customs authorities could have easily put a stop to it before it got off the plane (if you were lucky enough to get ones who weren't corrupted to let it through anyway....).
