I was talking about 2 situations, the kid got knocked over and got up straight away. The post of yours that I quoted suggested that you may die every time you go near a road, I responded accurately that no one died in this instance. You just got a little over excited. The second post was responding to someone saying it isn't safe to play outside your house anymore and I was reminiscing about a time I was playing on the road outside my house and got hit by a car, my fault entirely and I got a whack from my dad for being a t*t. The kid got 500 baht, the parents got a whole load more for "medical expenses" so no one suffered except for the driver who was clearly not paying attention and deserves to shell out. Misunderstanding...I see your point thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up with the 'hospital bills'? should be 30 baht if they're Thai. I wouldn't want to be relying on only the 30 bht card as it only covers the most basic of treatments.

Nkpjed Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Whatever she was doing she was obviously not paying attention. But the same could be said of 90% of Thai drivers. To hand the kid money and then just leave is also typical Thai behavior. Money fixes everything no need to get the kid to an emergency room to make sure he is ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkidlad Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 As a driver, you should always be aware of your surroundings; especially in a housing estate where there’s a reason you have to drive slowly. Someone could deliberately run out in front of you car and get hit - it doesn’t matter. You’re responsible for making sure that person gets help. The rest will work itself out later. Hitting a child in this manner and doing what this driver did is just abhorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 19 hours ago, Just1Voice said: How in the hell did the woman driving the car NOT see him? For many reasons; The medical visit before taking the permit is a joke; moreover, we see only a doctor of general medicine, not an ophthalmologist; The lady's smartphone was certainly more important than watching the road; and then she must be one of those people who can't brake properly and use the left foot for that. We can see very well on the video that she brakes only in contact with the child; and lately, she is driving far too fast in the subdivision.

Ive no idea , like you, what the speed limit is in that moobahn gated or not its a road.

Because there's no other convenient open space right near the home. No big yards or playgrounds. In the USA, my 3 different houses had yards of about 1 to 2 Rai for them to run around in.

Never did, because it was unnecessary, not that I didn't teach them. But in Thailand, it's often like their front yard, sad to say. Used to be they could play there. But nowadays, unqualified idiots drive around on motorbikes and cars that they can't control. Edit: Come to think of it, I did let my older "boy" play in the road one time. He wasn't unsupervised, as he was with a USMC patrol convoy in Iraq. His truck caught a rocket propelled grenade, and that was that.
