Another clown that needs to be locked up.

Another normal day one the murderous Thai roads. Either bikes not caring to look when they bunk a red light or change lanes in front of a 18 ton truck.....and on the other hand people fleeing the scene of an accident that they caused as they either dozed off or perhaps were playing on facebook.

 

Wish the elderly victim a fast recovery and hope that she won't have any hassles with her hospital bills.

She said she fled the scene because she was shocked.

Police have yet to charge her with any offence as they investigate the incident further.

 

Maybe us farangs can use the same excuse; "shocked" so we drove on!!

She's only shocked that she's been caught by the CCTV. She fled because she had no intentions of accepting any responsibility or accountability for her actions and thought she could get away with it.

Dozed off at the wheel,maybe she thought she was just dreaming 

and drove on,

OMG!  That's near my house.  What time of day was the crash?  I'd avoid the market at that time tomorrow, or wear double amulets.

When are they going to get serious with these disgusting hit-and-runners? Running away after hitting someone should be regarded on the same level as manslaughter, and murder if the victim actually dies. How many people could be saved every year if the people who caused the accidents actually gave them a little bit of emergency care?

I try not to be on the roads at this time of night, so many unpredictables.

 

Really feel sympathy for the woman in a coma but NONE for the driver, how can you fall asleep after popping out to do some shopping? It's not like she has just driven to CM from Bangkok is it?

I was going to say it's an Asian thing to run away from the scene but thinking about it there's a lot of it going on in the uk but they are mainly immigrants from eastern block countries.

'Personal responsibility'?   Remember Bart Simpson's unrelenting comment 'wasn't me,             I didn't do it!'

 

Lots of folks here, and elsewhere of course,  avoid personal responsibility like the plague.  Sometimes i believe that the State powers, the religious training of the  young, the schooling system here in T'land all contribute to a sense of personal avoidance and escape, if possible, from standing up and saying 'I did it, my bad'.
