They will have to teach the power pole a lesson, they're more adept at learning them.Or, maybe there was a farang standing near the scene of the accident:They can blame it on him 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil2407 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Have to ask but as this is Thailand might get conflicting answers If it turns out he is DUI and crashes does the insurance still pay out or is it Null and Void and he has to buy new car himself?

thailand49 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Interview again! a bit too late don't you think? He should have be interview right on the spot with a officer tagging along with him to the hospital for treatment. While getting treatment his blood should have been taken to check the level of alcohol. Once the level come back position as soon as possible he should be arrested and booked on drunk driving and property damage and a court date set.
