Video: Taxi driver threatens motorist with gun on the highway

 

 

A helmet cam video from a following motorcyclist showed a taxi driver wind down the window and threaten another motorist with a gun. 

 

Daily News said that there had been a road rage incident before this with the two vehicles chasing each other and stopping in the road to face off against each other. 

 

It appears to have happened just after 10 pm on Monday and was posted on the "Hear Khap Rot" site.

 

The poster suggested that the man had said that he was "in uniform".

 

Netizens called for the police and the Department of Land Transport to act as a matter of urgency. 

 

There was much speculation as to the type of gun with some suggesting it was a BB gun or air pistol.

I would have thought that everyone was aware of cameras being all around nowadays.

Dizzy old Somchai here just got himself in a right heap of trouble.

Better quickly hand in 4 Rolexes and a bag of gold left in the cab pronto!

In my home country taxi drivers only threaten other motorists by shaking a stick of air-dried salami or a freshly baked baguette at them. Ah, cultural differences...

Wild Wild East....

[SmartyMarty]

but Thailand is totally safe according to TAT.

[Fex Bluse]

Can't let this hurt Thailand's image and tourism. 

 

Tomorrow we will read if a taxi returning 100 million Euros of cash left behind in a taxi. 

 

Problem solved ????

[Thaifriends]

Its frustration among Thai which reflects on local news every day.

Its lack of education on how to handle a gun.

[Dexlowe]

Someone's been watching those Russian road rage vids on Youtube. 

 

Looks like a fairly big gun. Wonder how big his penis is. 

[Somtamnication]

Note to self: Avoid taxis while driving. Jeez!

Typical Thai aggressive nature.

 

These people lack respect for the law, themselves, foreginers plus life in general. It comes as no surprise the Chinese kicked their ancestors, the Siamese, out of southern China.

 

Just consider how they communicate, just inches apart, they have to shout! Says it all to me...Lack of civility plus manners.

 

I never knew how cheap life is consideted by people until I lived in Thailand, which thankfully I'm leaving and very soon, because I have had enough of this sad, BS, pathetic, boring exsistance. There are so many more interesting and more rewarding places to visit and discover on this world, and better than here.

Bye bye

There should be no punishment for this man. There was a recent case where an NACC member did the same to a taxi driver. It was promised a result would be delivered in 30 days, that was about 6 months ago and nothing ever heard again since. If that is the precedent then this taxi driver should have no issues.

Try not to be so hard on yourself. Maybe you will find Nirvana in the next country you land in. Good luck.

Couple it the 25,000 road deaths per year and......yes, you are right, it is safe! ????

[kellersphuket]

and this is why I never use meter taxis in Thailand.

 

A thai taxi driver high on crystal meth working a 16 hour shift and wielding a revolver..

 

What could possibly go wrong there? ????

The inverse square law comes to mind. Not that I even considered his penis until you brought it up ????
