"Road Rage becoming the Norm" say Thai media after claims man with sword threatened motorist

 

Picture: TNews

 

Thai news media TNews said that road rage in Thailand was becoming an everyday occurrence after an incident in the Klong 3 area of Pathum Thani.

 

Reverse cam footage showed an impatient driver with a police sticker on the windshield.

 

He was hooting his horn and trying to squeeze past on both the left and right sides. Someone in the car claims he has a sword as he opens the driver's door and continues along the road with it open.

 

But dash cam footage earlier showed that the vehicle filming was also likely to blame after bad driving was exhibited, said TNews.

 

Footage was uploaded to the Facebook page of "Kochakorn Aom". She said she thought the other driver was on drugs and reported that she phoned the police after the filming was started.

 

Tnews did not follow up what happened or what was the involvement of the police, if any.

As an apologetic 'Wai' seems to be becoming the norm, to avoid serious punishment, is anyone surprised ?

Lawless behaviors, due in part to lawlessness.

Thai really need to get proper traffic police and better CCTV and then big fine and confiscate the car/motorbike or else Thailand will become the wild west but I think it's too late to change Thai people

The Thai police need to crack down on this. Just a rampant case of the average Somchai thinking he's the mustard and has impunity to do what he wants as he thinks the law only applies to other people. This has to stop or at least be reigned in. Anyone carrying a sword, baseball bat or gun in their car needs to be brought to an "attitude adjustment" center and given the full 9 yards.

There is no room for wondering, where the overwhelming population is practically uneducated and their IQ is on the same level as a comfortable room temperature, where the level of EGO is as high no one can see from the land, where practically anything can be managed with money and relationship, and where the don’t see, don’t hear and don’t speak is one of the most important national habits.

But your right guys and gals There  are a pack of idiots driving on Thai roads and the keystone cops are trying to control ( not to hard i might add)  the drivers Its is just getting way out of hand
