webfact Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just another manic Monday as local official falls asleep at the lights! Picture: Sanook Police were called after a local official on his way to work fell asleep at a red light in Chonburi causing a massive traffic jam. It was 7am. Banging on the windows it took all of thirty minutes to wake the man who complained that he had been working late the night before and was tired. Police gave him some water which he drank and splashed on his face before he drove off to work again in his white Honda. Traffic cop Naret Sangka told Sanook that it was confusing because the day before was a Sunday; what was an official doing at work? "I am not sure that he was all there," said Naret.

mikebell Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Another 200 baht well spent. If it took 30 minutes to wake him, he was paralytic p*ssed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same could be said of the cops operating what should be fully-computerised lights. I'll swear they fall asleep between shifts - those of pressing the buttons.

Might be connected, don't you think? Obviously the police didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
