Road Rage: Teacher, 50, dragged from her car and beaten by man in pick-up

 

Pictures: Sanook

 

A 50 year old teacher was dragged from her car by a man in a pick-up after a minor scrape in Chonburi.

 

The man was caught on CCTV pulling Phiangreuthai, a teacher at Saen Suk School, from her car.

 

She was assaulted with kicks and fists and wound up in hospital with multiple bruises and facial injuries.

 

Only the intervention of bystanders saved a worse outcome. It all happened on April 16th.

 

Yesterday the victim went to Chonburi police armed with a doctor's report of her injuries and the CCTV footage to see what progress had been made in the case.

 

 

There was good news. The cops told her that a man had been arrested and had been arraigned on a charge of assault.

 

The victim was told that if she was not happy with what police had done in the matter she could press for more charges.

If I were her i would press for more information, and definitely press for more charges.

Simply put, this kind of behaviour has to be stepped on and prosecuted with enormous jail terms. The pathetic punishments given do nothing to detract many from the view that violence is the only answer to any problem

Then, why was she not invited for the usual photo-op routine?

500 baht fine driving licence returned and he's on his way again.

A farang would be jailed !!! plus big fine

[meatboy]

the victim had been beaten and ended up in hospital,the perpetrator had been arrested,but arraigned on the charge of assault. his he on remand so as not to intimidate the victim. anyone guess.

[ezzra]

God knows how many millions of cars and other motorized vehicles

running around the coutry's roads every hour and every day, and among

those it's not unusual to find the odd agro, road rage hot headded

mongols that venting their madness on other motorists using their fists...

If its just a Thai punk he'll have to do alot of wai-ing then pay a small fine and case closed.

If it were a farang  wai-ing or even shaving his head  and dressing in orange robes wont help.

Big fine   OK   no jail.

If the Thai punk comes  from an  influencial  family  that may jeopardise the bi-annual police station re-decoration/budget and party  then punk  charges  immediately dismissed ,a policeman sent to innactive post (roi-et)and battered teacher given a reprimand for wasting valuable police time.

On a global road rage ranking I place Thailand at 3/10 . it should happen more often considering the crazy traffic but it just doesn't. More to do with Thais wanting to avoid confrontation for the most part

Any chance this chap wears a uniform?

50%. Either he does or he doesn't.

Odds are that he, dad, uncle, brother or cousin does, and that is why it's been "dealt with" quietly without the victim or the media being involved.  Membership has it's privileges...

And why did she have to go to the cops to get the information that that they had already pressed assault charges?

 

Roll on TRP reform please, like 30 years ago.

The woman won`t receive much assistance from the police. They will just go through the formalities, arrest, fine and a slap on the wrist. If she wants justice, the woman will need to take out a private prosecution against the attacker. Considering that could cost a small fortune for legal representation, drag on for years and the guy could appeal, probably will not retrieve back her legal fees if the guy has no money, then I doubt this woman will ever receive justice.

[sammieuk1]

Shocking news again hope the pickup is an easy repair.

[car720]

I was going to make a remark which  would associate the Thai male with this type of behaviour but I realize it is multi-national and just a sign of the times.  When I was a young guy if someone did this to an old woman they would have been  handed a kicking before being given to their old man for another kicking.

I think it's a lot more common than you think, just doesn't hit the news

[crazykopite]

Sounds to me that the police are not over concerned about this incident but if she wants to pursue a charge then they will look into it

I can confirm with feet on the ground. 10 years on lower sukhumvit, my condo roughly 300m from nana bts. I walk suk nearly every day and never saw road rage even once. The odd horn blasting is about as mean as it gets

[goldenbrwn1]

It’s always the pick up drivers.  I’m not saying every pick up driver in thailand is an a##hole.... but I’m pretty sure nearly every a##hole I have ever encountered driving like a maniac does drive one!

And a totally  different environment from Pattaya area and the shitloads of pickups/lowlifes.

[SpeakeasyThai]

Are there no boundaries to this neanderthal behaviour Thai man frequently exhibit? No wonder Thai females are so dis-enchanted with their native partners they turn to any farang pot bellied old fart as a potential partner.

[Lupatria]

Reading stuff like this almost as a daily routine I can't help to admire primates for their behavior

[KhunBENQ]

Just another result from the non existing education/discipline for grandma's little boy.

They learn beating grandma before they can properly walk.

So what you expect when they grow up?

Each of these lowlifes should get mandatory conscription for not only two but four years.

I know few farang or Thais in Thailand who would beat a woman.  Back in the west, sadly, there are pleanty that would.

"Pick Up" ? That's no way to pick up 50 year old teachers. There are much easier ways like asking for their LINE ID. Phone Numbers are old school news & cost money to call. Need to Try a better "Pick Up" Technique like asking for her Contacts (Not the ones in her eyes dummy OK) Some guys are just too aggressive.
