OK, then he should not drive a car.

Hope it will not get the same outcome as Jenthrob who killed two students and is still in court. That guy refused a breathalizer and they still did not assume he was drunk. Last sentence was 2 years that he appealed again. So still nothing has happened. Thailand.. land of the rich where they get away with anything. 

I think most know what the result of this will be ! have another Red Bull

Driver not named and age not given. Just wondering if the driver was old enough to have a license and if yes then did he produce his license on the spot?

 

And wondering if there will ever be any follow up on these points by the news outlet?

 

Silly questions, the answer is NO. So much for media reform. 

 

As my Thai son has said many times, Thailand needs a credible non government group / association or whatever who focus on follow up. And this event is a good example.

I assume the Mayor's son will plead guilty by letter - sent by EMS from the UK.

As a Mayor's son he may qualify for the Thailand 4.0 upgrade. Red Bull may give you wings to fly to Singapore, but Black Bull enables him to walk the Andaman Sea to Myanmar.

Prior to imprudently using the term, have a look at this:

culture

ˈkʌltʃə/

noun

 

1. 1.

   the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.

Sounds like an admission to me. Now they need to find out just what 'speed' this is when you are driving a Porsche.

"Thailand.. land of the rich where they get away with anything".

It bothers you? My deep and profound inner peace? My immense, tranquil take on all these little, totally superfluous and ultimately irrelevant things that none of us can ever hope to change here? The stuff that you and others like to get all uppity about?

 

I guess the bonus is at least you're not alone.
