Thank you for your decent comment.

And would you BarraMarra, run a red light while speeding, without looking or stopping and run into a girl on a scooter. HE is the one who ran into her, not she into him. HE is the one who caused the accident. 100% HIS fault. Why are you blaming her?

Rubbish. More than half of the posts ARE blaming the young girl. They rae wrapping it up by saying he she should not have been riding at her age, she should have been wearing a helmet, blame her parents etc etc. Few people are blaming the car driver for speeding, driving dangerously, not looking, running the red light etc. And if the car driver was not travelling so fast and intent on running the red light the accident would not have happened either. I wonder if the reaction would have been different if it was a farang, wearing a helmet and all the gear, 20 to 30 years old with years of biking experience and completely street legal. Would he be blamed and people calling out the car driver saying that it was his fault. Which it was, 100%

But what if there is NO next election in the foreseeable future? There are still a large number of military and pro coup parties in the current coalition government plus the still in power appointed senate. So many posters have said that they will all be gone by May 2024, but what if they are reappointed or a new lot appointed in their place? I know I am in the world of what if, whataboutery and speculation. Just think about those scenarios. Who has the power to stop them happening?

I was directly responding to your post and not to any other post. If I wanted to reply to a different post then I would not have replied to you.

BS after 30 years in Thailand, working, holiday, based and living here I am still alive and to my knowledge nobody has tried to kill me yet. Nor do I know of any farang that has been threatened or killed deliberately by any Thais. A question for you. How many farangs do you personally know who have been killed by Thais?

I agree with you. Thailand is also my home but he was my middle brother which made it sort of personal.

But you got a response anyway. Anything posted on ANN/TVF is open to any response from any poster.

Perhaps he works clandestinely for the elusive ministry of dirty tricks My opinion only.

ANN/TVF is the home of speculation and there are so many speculative experts on here.

When my brother died in Canada several years ago, nobody from his family over there bothered to contact me. It was only through the family of his very good friend contacted me and told me that I found out. they gave me the families phone number so I called them. What a surprise when I called. All I wanted to know was if he had left his birth certificate, old UK passport, old photos, any letters from our Mum etc. There was absolutely nothing and I suspect that the family had just bundles it up and thrown it all away. Knowing my brother, he never threw anything away. I didn't even get an invitation to his funeral. In fact I had no idea that he was even ill. So it happens all over the world and not just in Thailand.

I was responding to your post.

You keep saying things like this might happen soon, or be patient all will be revealed in the future. Somehow it never does.

And of course Trump would say exactly the opposite.

A pity that your posts don't reflect that.

I would rather he was in jail for the rest of his life.

Good.

Would that also apply to the car driver? It IS your right to move when the light is green. It is NOT your right to run through a yellow or red light without looking or stopping, Irrespective of whether the girl is old enough or not wearing a helmet, the car driver who should be old enough and have passed the so called driving test is 100% at fault. If you look at the video the light was already yellow and as you look at the video it was on red when the car driver ran the red light. Also if you look at the car, the driver had no intention of stopping, his brake lights never came on. If it were up to me I would crush his car slowly, with him in it, stopping before he is crushed to death, as a sample of what the girl is going through in hospital. Stupid <deleted by me> ing driver.

But this is NOT the UK, it is Thailand.

She would also not have been hit if the car driver obeyed the law , slowed and stopped when the light went to amber. All my sympathy goes to the young girl and her family, and I have nothing but anger and contempt for the car driver.

I am sure that I have seen either the dashcam video or another video like yours earlier, but I cannot find it now. If I can I will post it. Meanwhile please accept my apologies. In the video that you posted it clearly shows that the traffic light was yellow and watching the video the car made no attempt at braking (no brake lights are on) and was clearly intent on running the red light.

More IF and whataboutery. If yo had watched the dashcam video, YES she did have a green light. As a personal aside, I was riding my motorbike in Nakhon Sawan and the lights went to green in my favour. I rode off and got T-boned by a red light runner who wasn't even in my view when I started moving. I was wearing a helmet and was fully legal and I had the right of way yet I got hit by a red runner under the view of the police from their office at the traffic lights. Whose fault was the accident? Some questions for you about the car driver. Was the car driver fully licenced and insured? Was the car taxed and insured? Was the driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol? Was the driver using his mobile phone or texting? Was he driving within the speed limit and with due care and attention? Does the car driver even have a licence? So many posters are so busy trying to lay the blame on the young girl and her parents, that nobody is asking questions about the driver. In the pickup that hit were 2 little old ladies and probably a grandson. When we got to the central police station after I manged to get my handlebars straight enough to ride my bike I has a conversation with my wife, the police and the little old ladies family after which they stumped up 10,000 baht to pay for the repairs. It was determined that it was ended by the police with no blame attached to either side.

Chuan also stood for election in 2000 against Thaksin and lost. He also stood against Thakin in the 2004 election and lost once again even heavier. Up until 1997 the democrats were riding high but have gone downhill ever since. As for the democrats in the south, they had their own homegrown deputy leader in Suthep Thaugsuban for the Surat Thani province. What a superstar he turned out to be for the southern provinces and the democrat party.

I certainly do as the car driver was running a red light. So many posters here blame the girl, her parents and quote this law and that law, but NOBODY seems to want to admit that the car driver deliberately ran the red light. SHE had the right of way and not the stupid <deleted by me> ing car driver.
