Low  speed?  Severe damage?  Spinning several times?  Sounds like a hi-so.  Pattaya Plod will naturally believe this nonsense and NOT breathalyse him.

omission.

If it's true he spun "several times," he was not going at "low speed." At low speed, you might spin a quarter turn. And the damages look too great for a leisurely spin.  Try again, Ohm Boy.

This is blasphemy.

this must have been after hitting a concrete barrier at 120 kph. I made up better BS than this when I was 8 years old. 

 

The court sentences you to death for destroying a beautiful Mustang. Get this POS out of my sight. 

 

Next case.

.,,,,”breaks don’t work”, now the excuse is a tire blow-out. I’ve had a couple tires “blow-out” during my lifetime and I didn’ lose control of the car. I think this guy was speeding but, hey, this is Thailand. Put the blame on something else. 

( glad no one was injured)

They are watching too many video games....REAL LIFE AINT LIKE THAT GAME...

[JustAnotherHun]

A tire "blowout" at low speed results in nothing serious, never ever in a multiple spin around. But "low speed" is quite relative.

Next time better use "break failure".

Was this "VIp" tested on drugs? On alkohol? Bet on it?

[sammieuk1]

I suppose low speed to him is under 150????

Obviously this guy understands and is capable of controlling a vehicle at high speeds - got this one wrong though didn't he! ????

3.6 million Baht worth of car seriously damaged as a result of his exuberance - wonder if his passenger was suitable impressed?

Spot on , can't add anything to that. 

[MadMuhammad]

I had a stack recently and although I was cut off if I had have been travelling at a normal speed it could have been avoided. Brakes worked fine, I just messed up. 

 

There, it’s not so hard is it? 555

[ratcatcher]

This guys wreck looks like a 2015-17 Shelby GT350, however that usually came with a large V8 about 5.2l . Not sure what Thai import laws are re big mills. I can't believe that much damage can be incurred at "low speed, as most posters here have already pointed out.

I am not familiar with the new generation of Shelbys as I only ever owned an old '66 GT350 40 years ago. Maybe someone with more info can speculate how/why he managed to remove a door at low speed. 

Do young motorcycle racers usually drive their hot rods at an easy 60km/h? , especially in Pattaya.

[mercman24]

pissed myself laughing FAMOUS, ha ha probably Famous in his village, for racing a honda wave up and down the streets, never heard of him.

[ParadiseLost]

Waiting for the dashcam video of a moron spinning his wheels until one bursts, causing him to smash into parked cars, in blind panic...

 

Stick to two wheels - obviously you only have half a brain!

You misspelt his new surname. It's a 'U', not an 'A'.

they are NOT taught what to do when a blow occurs nor what to do "if brakes fail" absolutely drivers fault by NOT knowing how to control a vehicle.

What eould he have been like IN A SKID when on snow....his excuse would be "wrong kind of snow" !!!!!

His claim of 'low speed' is relative to what he is used to. His superbike high speed is probably 200 kph so his low is 120 kph....????

As a friend said, who lived in SF most of his life, it was good until they left the city and where 30 miles away in one scene. But still the greatest chase movie.

[shady86]

Can't afford to replace the worn tyre. Maybe he regretted the initial investment. 

[Ramdas]

It sounds like this guy was a loser at racing bikes ( mind you superbike, big bike in Thailand don’t go over 300cc the rest is just BS ) Just as bad to drive in a straight line with his car apparently. I reckon this guy not only needs a proper extensive  driving training but also to be submitted to a lie detector since his lies don’t stick one bit but hey in Thailand when you’re Thai and  got money you get away pretty much with everything, a good example of hiso attitude, sad really ????????

And the quality of roads here, you wouldn't want to drive it with super low profile tyres. The holes and bumps would damage the thin tyres and rim easily.
