I believe the window tinting madness in Thailand adds an extra disadvantage on the roads especially at night, impairing  vision,driving with black tinted window may not be the wisest idea for some whoare prone to drowsiness....just a thought

Are they actively hunting, or just inviting the perp via Facebook to come to the station at his leisure?

I saw the video on a facebook site. It looks like two young Thai men ran across the road in front of the speeding car, and the car was definitely going at a pace. Judging by the reaction of a girl in the video I do not think one of them survived, he certainly took a flying leap into the parked motorcycles.

Heavy tinting is illegal but, well you know...... Whether something is illegal or not has absolutely no relevance in Thailand.
