Karma is a bitch!  His reward will be arriving soon enough!

Years ago, back in Indiana, where a person died in an ambulance, when some Benz driver refused to yield, they quickly passed, and STRICTLY enforced a new law.  Refuse to yield for ANY emergency vehicle and their dash cam will get your license plate number, and within 24 hours you will be in jail, with NO BOND, and an automatic $10,000 fine, loss of license for one year, and 30 days in jail - No matter WHO you are

From one extreme to the other

[Hotrudester]

I really could not care less what Nationality the driver is but he really needs to be taught a lesson for what I can only call a really disturbing and disgusting piece of behaviour. As the Lawyer writes throw him in jail for a month. I am absolutely appalled by his behaviour but it does seem almost common here.

We are all presuming its a Thai driving but its quite farang colored arm and a very farang gesture?

[FritsSikkink]

Scrap his car

[findlay13]

Why not show this Benz drivers Number plate? Public shaming,loss of face is something more than a 500bht fine.

In todays xenophobic  society here

I am sure was if it a foreigner (non Thai) he would have been hung out to dry by now.

[SunsetT]

Why dont they show the number plate to, at very least, to shame them!

[natway09]

The police will follow up& be able to have a party afterwards

[RedPill]

The world is going mad ... a few days ago someone told me that there is an increasing trend in the Netherlands that ambulance helpers are getting physically attacked.

 

I couldn't believe it, but true ... https://nltimes.nl/2018/04/10/suspects-violence-dutch-emergency-workers

 

Some people must be seriously f$# up in their minds if they make no space for ambulances, give them a finger ... or even physically attack them.

It's the....do you know who I am syndrome that effects most thais when they get behind the wheel of an expensive car.he probably lives in a tin shack with some soi dogs.

in the uk the judge would probably ask for a psychiatric report before sentencing a <deleted> like this.

D'ya kna who I am ? Ronnie Pickering. But seriously, "obstruction" should be an offence. Police should have the support of the legal system and the courts to prosecute. What are the consequences for anything in LOS. ?

Have you forgotten you are in Thailand? the Police are corrupt the courts are corrupt, you & quite a few others need to start living in the real world not the land of make believe that the media portrays! ????

Name, Shame & post a <deleted> photo of this POS.

I would love to see a tiered system of fines whereby the normal motorist might get the base fine (500 Baht for a vehicle worth up to 2 million Baht), but the penalty goes up depending on the worth of the vehicle. so as to provide a meaningful penalty to the wealthy. For example, a 10 million Baht vehicle might attract a fine of 5,000 Baht and a a 20 million Baht vehicle 10,000 Baht.

That could lead to them being jailed for a month or face a 10,000 baht fine or both.

Should be mandatory for not yielding to an emergency vehicle.

He should be payed a visit by the police, publicly shamed for his actions and banged up for a month!

[kevin612]

Polices arrest a foreigner 10000 baht for fine , a Thai 500

baht. This is what happen in Thailand.

A leading lawyer called Decha said that in this case the driver could be prosecuted for being insulting in public. 

 

And how about a charge of endangering life while driving. Although that probably isn't an offence here as half the drivers in the country would be in jail.

What needs to happen is for the driver to be left in a baseball bat storeroom for 15 minutes with the biggest members of the 'victim's' family, followed by a year in jail (to be served after his time in hospital, taken there in an ambulance that is stuck behind a slow-moving escort vehicle) to give him time to ponder what an a***-***e he is.

the law says a month in jail, WELL CARRY IT OUT THEN ,none of this *i am so sorry <deleted>* they need a shock to their system. that will teach this pos a lesson, as said before one day it might be him in an ambulance, and the way these merc drivers think they own the road, it wont be very long , forget the fine,as this is nothing to them, let it be known from now on, its a few weeks in the cooler, they will think twice then

Yes, the law should be enforced for all.

should also be shamed in all Thai newspapers.

Actually he is suffering from the don't you know who I am/my daddy is. Apart from that he is also suffering from the smallest d*ickus syndrome, exaggerated by the fact that he owns a Benz, and the I am rich and can do what I like disease.

 

I think that all drivers of emergency vehicles should be exempt from prosecution for running <deleted> like the Benz driver off the road. Emergency vehicles need front and rear 'roo bars fitted.

 

the benz driver a real dick but since you mention smallest d*ickus syndrome let me inject some comic relief from monty python about that, bickus dickus, etc

 

[straylight]

Why have you pixelated his license number; is TV afraid to name and shame because of who he might be?

Take the car off them and make them watch as it's put through a crusher 

[raccos21]

He is driving a million baht vehicle so for him 10,000 baht is nothing. It should be 10% of his vehicle value and jail term.

[Jim walker]

confiscate their cars and auction them off and put the funds into the emergency services cameras front and rear to catch the perpetrators  that would stop them holing up the emergency services, then again you have to pity such stupidity at times. 

[notasmartassknowitallfarag]

Uneducated clown who probably gained the Benz through corruption.
