PHUKET: A police officer manning a checkpoint in Cherng Talay narrowly escaped being mowed down by a drunk driver in the early hours of yesterday (Dec 20).

 

Lt Supot Kantapong of the Cherng Talay Police was on duty with a fellow officer at the entrance to the Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) offices on Srisoonthorn Rd at 1:30am when the incident happened.

 

“It happened so fast. I saw a white pickup approaching very quickly from Cheng Talay heading toward the Heroines Monument,” Lt Supot said in a post on his “Poth Kantapong” Facebook page.

CCTV footage from Phuket showed a white pick-up plow through a police checkpoint.

 

One officer in the middle of the road moves aside as another towards the side dives for cover as the pick-up slams into a parked motorcycle then the fence of the Cherng Talay Municipal Authority offices. 

 

A site that reports on traffic news in Phuket reported that the incident occurred at 1.30am on Thursday morning.

I am sure that the driver suffered a swift kick up the ass when he was extracted from the vehicle.

Its time they started handing out automatic prison sentences (i.e. 6months) for anyone caught driving under the influence...  

 

And of course, far more severe penalties for anyone involved in an accident caused by them driving under the influence....

 

...this guy was very lucky he didn't kill the Policeman - having proven himself not fit for society he needs to be locked to think about his stupidity and send a message to the rest of the potential drunk drivers...

If they start putting them away then half the Police Force would be in Prison for a start as they are some of the worst offenders around our way !

That's one way of avoiding a check stop ...brake failure of course

Would of taken real patience from me not to go and put 1 behind his ear. If they could get a handle on impaired driving here, I believe you could cut the road mortality rate by half. But to do this imo they would have to incarcerate on first offence, something face ruled Thailand probably wouldn't tolerate. 

A pickup out of control played out a thousand times a day 365????

Copper wasn't wearing a reflective tabard, stood in the middle of the road at night and parked his bike in a dangerous place. Completely the copper's fault....as I'm sure that the pickup driver will say.

Looka t eh2 cops after the accident.  They just walk around like zombies.

 

In most countries, the cops would be already at the truck and getting the driver out and under arrest.
