When I departed from Swampy airport a few weeks ago, my taxi driver dropped me at the VIP parking spot and then I had to walk across the red zebra crossing to the terminal.  There is a 'lollipop' man who holds up his hand to stop the traffic.  He did so and the cars stopped and I started to wheel my trolley and luggage across the zebra crossing.

 

A 'Do you know who I am' guy in a white Merc didn't want to stop and drove across the zebra crossing, narrowly missing hitting me.  Now I'm a Brit and was always taught that everyone must stop at a zebra crossing.  So no way was I letting him get away with this.  As he drove across the crossing, I rammed my heavy luggage trolley into the side of his nice car, scratching and denting it, which shouting in Thai at the same time 'Stop!', (thus attracting everyone's attention).  As he slowed down to park, I ran after the car and pulled open the driver's door, shouting at him and asking in Thai if he was blind.  Of course the guy is furious that some foreigner dared to challenge him, but he seemed too fat to get out of the car.  I beckoned him to look at the red crossing and shouted again in Thai that it's the law that he must stop.

 

All this was great entertainment for everyone, and I guess that I was lucky that he wasn't carrying a gun.  But it does infuriate me when car drivers see a person crossing and speed up!

 

Anyway, trolley cart 1 : white Merc 0 and he has a repair bill ????  (I disappeared into the terminal before his passengers got out of the car to slap me!)

Well done  !

The only petrified 'object' in that photo is in green

The only sympathy I have is with the train driver

Now that is one scary "female"

Should ban alcohol before weed - far more dangerous 

Nonsense - he's spending too much

That vehicle should be scrapped

Well he won't do that again !

Lucky they had insurance...

Superb, one less to worry about

Maybe she was unwell. 

Possible suicide attempt. 

 

Doubt it - staring at her phone and not looking

Serves them right - no sympathy 

Unfortunately Vietnam attracted 14 billion U.S. dollars during the same period

Good for them, I hope they enjoy their winnings

The cost of fuel/vehicle serving etc + the cost of living the taxi fares should be doubled
