It's simple really ......................... you kick it and it's their dog.

 

You hit it with anything expensive and it belongs to no one.

 

Now, you know. Simples. ????

This is what 1st-class insurance is for.

 

Hopefully it will also pay compensation to the dog owner.

Mrs. Trans motor was hit by stampeding cows in the road..Cows let to roam the streets to eat grass the herdsman didn't have...????

The cow said bugger off and the herdsman buggered off...????

Thai stray dogs are as holy as cows in India, so beware. You might be subject to death penalty in case you should hit one with your car.

I couldn't care less about the car. Sounds to me like another incident of totally incompetent driving.

Dog runs in front of car on the highway and its the drivers fault?

[connda]

Actually, if the dog of off it's property and roaming on a public road, and gets hit by a car, then the owner of the dog is responsible for reimbursing the car's owner for damages.

That's been affirmed by my wife and other Thais I know and we recently had a dog hit near our home and the driver was out looking for the owner to collect damages.  The dog was our neighbor's, it lived although it's pretty much a three legged dog nowadays (one big tough monster), and nobody in the vicinity told the owner of the car who owned the dog.  Mai ruu???  Drivers on our road drive wayyyy too fast through our village and we've had numerous animals killed 50 meters on both sides of our house.  Nobody here is sympathetic to the morons who drive too fast.  I'm surprised no villager or kid has been killed yet.

They need to start fining the dog owners for letting them on the roads! I would not be a happy bunny having to use my first class insurance to cover some mangy dog let out to roam. At least give me the carcass to flog for a curry recipe.

He Always drive backwards or just 10kph so he can never hit a dog when it does that.

One day in India a cow was pushing it's horns in the back of my gf...it happened in a shop.

 

I slapped the cow on the butt and told it to leave my wife alone while shopping...the owner of the shop told me to get out now....????

Cow  kicked our car about 4  years ago, owner said not  my cow, i photographed said  offender, police came, told cow  owner " you know cows are  not  allowed on the road" cow owner coughed up the money but not until first he,d tried the "not my cow " story and the "why were you on this road story" like we shouldnt have been there.

Anyway moral is  call police , they know cows  should not be on the  road.

Speed bumps would stop that.... we have plenty of those in our mooban after pleading for a lower speed fell on deaf ears. But all dogs were not let out without leash. Never seen a dog running around without owner around .

Call the insurance company.

1st Class insurance would cover the damage to the car...  But who pays for the rental of a spare car while the damaged car is in the shop being repaired? 

 

(we still need to transport our son around and only do so in a car with an approved child seat).

 

Thus: Someone 'has' to be responsible and if dog owners are leaving their dogs to freely run around then they are the ones who have to be responsible for the damage their dogs cause when running out into the road. They should perhaps also be charged for not securing their animal 

 

Strays are a different issue and realistically it is the local governments responsibility to resolve this issue. They don't then they should be responsible for any associated costs when strays cause damage - of course pigs will fly.

[NE1]

As far as I am concerned , first class insurance is to protect me if I am at fault in an accident.

Not to fix my car if somebody else causes the damage .  As previously posted , you lose your no claims bonus for somebody else doing wrong.

Problem will be that after an accident any dog will be a stray dog.

 

Taking part in traffic always incurs a financial risk, that's just the way it is.
