webfact Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Video: "Macho man cop" gets out to warn woman about "cutting in front of me" Picture: TNews A dash cam video is doing the rounds of social media after a man who appears to be a special forces policeman gets out of a pick-up to warn a bemused woman in a car with her kid about her driving. The video may be of interest to national police chief Jakthip Chaijinda who issued a high priority directive to officers to smarten up their act and treat the public respectfully. The woman in the car is chatting normally with her daughter in slow moving traffic. Due to some work being carried out in the left lane it is necessary to be patient and move lanes but the woman appears to have right of way as the police pick up on her left tries to move over. He then hoots at her to stop which she does though she is unsure why. He then gets out and struts over like a "macho man" to the woman who winds down her window, reported Tnews. He demands: "What sort of driving is that? You pushed in and cut in front of me". Clearly feeling threatened she apologizes and the man gets back in his pick-up. She then says to herself how she is really feeling by saying "Guan teen", a Thai expletive that expresses extreme annoyance. The whole incident was caught on dash cam in clear video and sound quality. Source: TNews -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-12-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith101 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 He never used the indicator to move across so his fault not hers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkidlad Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Just another typical bully. Thinks he's a someone. Reminds me of the old guy at the bank who wanted to push in front of everyone because he was "depositing a lot of money". Missus told him to queue like everyone else. A woman who clearly doesn't respect these parts of her own culture. Seemed like everyone else in the bank was happy with what she said as well.

bluesofa Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Did he show her his police ID? He wasn't wearing a uniform and didn't have the obligatory sunglasses and face mask to avoid identification when fleecing motorists. His vehicle didn't have a police registration. It did have red/blue flashing lights - as does everyone and his dog. I can't quite see what it says in Thai on his rear windscreen, although the last word might be "special". Special what? Special needs I wouldn't wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) he did not have right of way, he did not indicate and he had to give way to her in any case. He needs to be raked over the coals for this, again we see the "do you know who I am " attitude of the cops, they let the power of being a cop go to their head, he should be made to apologize publicly for this on his hands and knees Edited December 15, 2017 by seajae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticBhoy Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 A plod that doesn't realise that a camera is on him ain't much of a plod. Driving like a tool, acting like a tool means that he is a total tool. Hope he gets pulled for this petty ego trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon467367354 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The cop was trying to overtake another vehicle from the left side????????? how many traffic violations can be seen in that very short clip starting with the white truck with the large silver box on the back cutting in from the far right? The cop was wrong, I wonder if this is not part of the problem, a large part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammieuk1 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Notice the cop did not stop at the hoist working with no advanced signage and boom projecting into traffic without being coned off maybe he just missed that one?

twizzian Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It’s no wonder there’s so many traffic violations when the cops don’t even know themselves how to drive on their own roads. Nothing wrong from that lady in the video.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouse123 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I made it 50/50 fault. If she wasn't so busy chatting with her daughter she could have seen the upcoming hazard on the left and known he had nowhere and would be moving to the right. I do not say it's right or wrong, it's just the way they drive in Thailand. The policeman did not speak bad or with lack of respect. He merely pointed out why she hadn't allowed him to get in the lane. I say it was 50-50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to be positive, maybe he's just a wannabe that was jockeying it somewhere for service and power tripping. It's common sense giving a wide right of way to anything resembling legends in their own minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman777 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 She should have been polite and gave way it was clear he needed to cut into the next lane as the car in front had and she either deliberately or by just not paying attention accelerated forward and cut him off.- typical Thai driving they will just not give way to other cars even though they have no where to go in heavy traffic. Thaought he was well controlled and hopefully she and others learned a lesson in polite driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
