Video: Good Samaritan helps a Thai drunk driver

 

Caption: He was drunk and set to cause accidents

 

Mobile phone footage showed a drunk driver weaving all over the road and nearly colliding with oncoming traffic several times. 

 

The driver of the vehicle behind decided to take matters into his own hands to avoid there being an accident. 

 

With the help of people at a coffee shop he managed to get the drunk driver out of his vehicle and park it for him. 

 

The Good Samaritan said he was able to stop safely and help in this situation. He had been in the car with his mother.

 

He told Thai Rath that he didn't want to drive on and leave the man in that state because he would have an accident for sure. 

 

In the end relatives of the drunk man were called to come and pick him up. 

 

The hero of the hour warned people no to drink and drive.

Because the police were busy.

I followed a car being driven in a similar manner and actually got the driver to stop in order to berate me right outside the local police station. I got two young uniformed men to come out and see the awful state of the driver who who so bad he could hardly speak and wouldn't attempt to get out of his seat. The police refused to do anything and let him continue straight on up the road and past the local school.

That hero deserves a medal of honor.

Wasn't there some serious police crack down on drunk drivers... ah I remember, it was for Songkran only.

Can I guess which one was Thai and which one was the expat?

Instead of the police locking him up?

Surely you mean "because they weren't bothered to get off their ar$es" 

The guy was not a Hero

A Hero would have called the Police and had this D!@% Head hauled off to the Court.

The normal response from the fantastic police force of Thailand.

Truly a disgrace to the uniform they have on.

Maybe there are some good ones.  but the bad,  sure out weighs the good.
