That's seems a lot of damage considering it crashed into some motorbikes. They make those little bikes tough. A few years back a Thai idiot in an Isuzu MU-7 decided to drive into my Honda Click coming out of Makro. My bike was unmarked, unlike his passenger door which would have needed some extensive repainting. Of course, being in a giant SUV he assumed he was impregnable to a pissant scooter, and just drove off without even stopping. That gave me a smile all right, I'd love to have seen his face when he got home and saw the damage he'd done to himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes city hall took away all the public seating on the beach side mid/southern end where all the girls used to hang out.. I noticed the other day there where some more (new) stainless steel seats at the northern end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to fan out a lot more to catch speeders and red light runners. That would require effort. so it's a non starter for PC Plonker in Pattaya. when it come to road safety duty.

In a built up area and with a vehicle weighing more than 1,200kg it is 60kph. However, it is also down to common sense and the conditions at the time, most people wouldn't drive down beach road at speed, too many potential hazards, pedestrians, the flag brigade crossing the road etc. etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed limit is 30 at the bend at Dusit Thani hotel and is 40 on the rest of Beach Road. Many routinely break the speed limit because they can with impunity.

thailand49 4117 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Nothing will change until the culture changes here, 24/7 enforcement and enforcement with some bite attached to it and consistent application based on the Law and not what makes one feel good or say they are sorry to the victims, Visiting the temple to pray for forgiveness then getting back into the vehicle and repeating the madness!

In this case I doubt the foreign driver is a buddhist so no need to visit the temple. Instead he will visit the jail unless he can bribe himself out which I suspect he can .

What would be the point of doing a sick thing like that? There are tragedies happening all over the world at any given moment, car crashes, volcanos, fires, buildings falling down etc , etc., etc.,Are you saying we should all imagine ourselves with our children in the very middle of every calamity in the world?...For what purpose...to remind us to never venture outside our door again?...You thing we are 100% safe indoors then?

Very lucky that nobody was killed, because anyone getting hit by a car travelling as fast as it must have been going, would have had no chance, and one hopes the charges for the driver reflect that. While we can't say how the accident happened without further information, and we cant say speed was a contributing factor either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
