geoffbezoz Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Well he was lucky to survive that. Say a lot about the safety cell design of a Suzuki Swift. And the retard Thai male driving the truck that caused the accident was fined only 400 Baht and no mention of the fact his license had expired so hence guilty of driving without a license - Amassing Thailand indeed. 1 1

darksidedog Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I don't think the cops have the first clue about deterring drivers from moronic and dangerous driving. A 400 baht fine will do NOTHING to change this driver or others from just driving however they feel like doing with zero concern for others. Swift driver very lucky, because that car is a mess. 2

monkeycu Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Police logic, a small car made smaller = small fine 1 2
seajae Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 owners of the truck should be charged and fined as well as they should know if their drivers have a licence or not, fact it expired in jan and they are still allowing him to drive shows total lack of concern on their part, big fine and charges 1
Guest Jerry787 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 400thb ? a sick joke, fine him 20,000THB, + no driving license for 1 year + pay all damages caused. 400thb, the happy fellow will drive crazy again tomorrow, as he will laugh !

A swift kick up the arse would be a better punishment.

cardinalblue Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) 400B? That much? when will the authorities stop babying drivers....the reason for so many bad drivers is b/c of their let them off the hook mentality.... treat drivers as accountable adults Edited June 4, 2019 by cardinalblue
sammieuk1 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 No matter how good a driver you are its the mental maniac behind you that will take you out eventually????
